Health and Safety in construction sites is a paramount issue that hunts the construction industry for the last two decades. In the local Qatar construction industry, and particularly the building construction, hazards are causing fatal accidents and local experts suggest a rate of four to five facilities per 100,000 workers is a common phenomena. Therefore, early identification of hazards and p...

urban expansion model (uem) was adapted to simulate urbanization which implements geospatial information systems (gis), artificial neural networks (anns) and remote sensing (rs). two satellite imageries with specific time interval, socio-economic and environmental variables have been employed in order to simulate urban expansion. socio-economic and environmental variables were used as inputs wh...

Technology innovation has been recognized as a main driver for the advancement of construction industry. Due to the lack of systematic innovation procedure, the advancement of construction technologies has been slow compared with the other industries, e.g., ICT and Biotech Engineering. This paper proposed a Systematic Technology Innovation Process (STIP) for innovation of construction technolog...

In the last decade, innovative technologies with regard to improved energy and material efficiency of asphalt pavement construction have been implemented by road industries. Two technologies are currently advocated: warm mix asphalt technologies and the increased use of reclaimed asphalt pavement. Unfortunately, these technologies were evaluated only by their technical and economic benefits and...

Construction sites are dynamic and complicated systems. The movement and interaction of people, goods and energy make construction safety management extremely difficult. Due to the ever-increasing amount of information, traditional construction safety management has operated under difficult circumstances. As an effective way to collect, identify and process information, sensor-based technology ...

Innovative Visualisation Technologies applied to construction simulation and optimisation have the potential to improve communications and coordination amongst the construction team. In this context and in the drive for innovation in the construction management, a framework for automatic generation and visualisation of construction processes in road construction has been conceived, designed and...

The following paper presents some results of long-term research on the urgent problem recycling waste products and their use in road construction. studied new materials technologies are justified by developments Tyumen Industrial University. aim this work is to prove technique, checking ecological safety with products. Research techniques test subjects quantitative chemical analysis biological ...

Stabilisation of natural pavement materials to make road pavements is widespread in South Africa, using cement and lime as cementitious binders. The rapid speed of the cementing reaction limits these to plant based construction. Some hydraulic binders have the potential to be developed for Labour Intensive Construction stabilisation technology because their slow hydration reaction allows time t...
