Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Design Consideration

Design Consideration

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Factors Affecting Workability

Factors Affecting Workability

The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Workability of Concrete

Workability of Concrete

The workability of concrete is a crucial property that affects its handling, placing, and finishing during construction. It describes the ease with which concrete can be mixed, placed, compacted, and finished. Workability is primarily concerned with the concrete's movement and its ability to resist internal friction and external resistance from molds and reinforcements during the application process.
Concrete's workability is determined by its resistance to internal forces that arise...

Area of Science:

Construction Management
Information Technology Adoption
Sustainable Building Practices

Background:

Cloud computing (CC) has been instrumental in enhancing construction project execution globally for two decades.
CC adoption is crucial for achieving sustainable targets in quality, cost, and time within the building industry.
Limited research exists on CC adoption drivers within Egypt's construction sector.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a decision support model for Cloud Computing (CC) adoption in Egypt's construction industry.
To analyze the relationships between CC adoption drivers in the Egyptian building business.
To identify and rank the key factors influencing CC adoption.

Main Methods:

Literature review for initial data sourcing.
Quantitative data collection via a survey of 106 Egyptian building practitioners.
Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for validation and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) for relationship analysis.

Main Results:

Drivers of CC adoption were categorized into Technology, Client Support, and Organization.
Technology emerged as the most significant driver (β = 0.378, p < 0.001).
Client Support (β = 0.372, p < 0.001) and Organization (β = 0.360, p < 0.001) were also highly influential.

Conclusions:

The study provides a validated model for understanding CC adoption drivers in Egyptian construction.
Findings offer a baseline for decision-making to improve CC cost-effectiveness and efficacy in the building sector.
This research contributes to construction management literature by detailing CC adoption influences in a developing economy.
