This paper presents a new virtual reality (VR)-based approach to advanced learnings and experiences of the circular economy (CE) in construction industry. The involves incorporating game design building information modelling (BIM) digital twin purposed CE prototype building. Our novel introduces VR environments designed provide visual representation materials components that can be reintroduced...

With the rapid expansion of prefabricated construction in China, significant changes safety performance are still unapparent for numerous constructions, and accidents constantly exposed public. The ignorance interactions among risks impedes efficacious improvement, which instructs need a thorough analysis these based on complex network theory. This paper starts with identification 37 refined th...

BACKGROUND Foot orthoses have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of a range of conditions, but there is debate as to the benefits of customised foot orthoses over less expensive, prefabricated devices. METHODS In a randomised, cross-over trial, 15 flat-footed participants aged between 18 and 45 years were provided with semi-rigid, customised orthoses and semi-rigid, contoured...

Abstract Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) is a modular construction system that adopts modern practices in the industry. It an innovative approach introduced to increase productivity and reduce high reliance on on-site manpower. PPVC uses prefabricated technology whereby production of 3-dimensional (3D) modules complete with building finishes fittings carried out under c...

Prefabricated construction hoisting has one of the highest rates fatalities and injuries compared to other processes, despite technological advancements implementations safety initiatives. Current risk management frameworks lack tools that are able process in-situ data efficiently predict in advance, which makes it difficult guarantee hoisting. Thus, this article proposed an intelligent predict...

This paper considers the transportation of prefabricated products in construction industry. Prefabricated can be transported by road transport or intermodal transport, latter which incurs lower carbon emissions. A contractor always selects mode with a cost rather than one emission. bi-level programming model was formulated to decide optimal subsidy for achieve lowest emissions while accounting ...
