{"title":"Mitigating Construction Delays in Iran: An Empirical Evaluation of Building Information Modeling and Integrated Project Delivery","authors":"Milad Ghanbari, Dina Zolfaghari, Zohreh Yadegari","doi":"10.56578/jemse/020304","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56578/jemse/020304","url":null,"abstract":"Project delays pose a substantial challenge in the construction sector. The primary objective of this research is to discern the root causes of project delays in the construction industry and proffer potential solutions, inclusive of the application of building information modeling (BIM) and integrated project delivery (IPD). The integration of IPD and BIM, predicated upon established blueprints, was explored to streamline cost management processes and investigate the potential incorporation of design information within the framework of building price lists. A comprehensive review of extant literature identified 20 possible causes of delays in Iranian construction projects. This study employed a descriptive research design, analyzing data collected from 90 questionnaires completed by construction experts using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) statistical software. A case study of the Dehloran Azad University building project was undertaken, utilizing Revit software for simulation exercises. Field investigations, coupled with a questionnaire disseminated among construction consultants and contractors, elucidated four primary factors contributing to project delays in Iran: 1) the employer's failure to fulfill financial obligations; 2) disregard for the socio-political-economic conditions; 3) absence of a feasibility study prior to tender participation; and 4) inadequate interdepartmental communication. Successful project execution hinges on active team participation and the value that such teamwork brings. The implementation of the IPD model was found to encourage increased enthusiasm and participation. Given that the most significant source of delays in Iran's construction projects was identified as financial issues, the adoption of BIM/IPD may mitigate delays and risks associated with inaccurate estimates. This approach was also found to be effective in projects that are in mid-stage completion.","PeriodicalId":233391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135048869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over time, timber structures might experience deterioration due to factors such as biological attack, ageing, and escalated service loads. In such cases, reinforcing or repairing the compromised timber components can often be more economical than full replacement. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, particularly those strengthened using carbon fiber, present significant potential in enhancing the stiffness or load-carrying capacity of these timber systems. In the present investigation, the bending behavior of both solid and glulam beams, reinforced with carbon FRP composites in a \"U\" shape at the bottom layer, was studied experimentally and numerically. It was observed that reinforced glulam beams exhibit superior load-carrying capacity, displacement, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity as compared to their unreinforced solid beam counterparts. Even though both types of beams are fabricated from identical materials, the laminated beams demonstrated markedly enhanced bending characteristics. Moreover, the addition of reinforcement to glulam beams showed a substantial improvement in bending performance. Consistency between numerical simulations, conducted using a finite element analysis program, and experimental outcomes was noted. This research suggests that timber materials, when strengthened with fiber-augmented polymer fabrics, can be accurately represented using numerical tools.","PeriodicalId":233391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These difficulties stem from land use restrictions for large-scale dust waste storage and the environmental implications of heavy metal contamination inherent in the dust. In an effort to promote the repurposing of this potentially hazardous solid waste, this study examines the concentration and leachability of various heavy metals in this dust. Digestion of the dust samples was carried out in a controlled laboratory setting, after which the concentrations of iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and cobalt (Co) were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean concentrations of these heavy metals in the dust were found to be in the following descending order (in mg/kg): Fe> Mg> Zn> Mn> Ni> Pb> Cu> Cd> Co. Water leaching tests were subsequently conducted, revealing that Co and Cd exhibited the greatest leachability at varying pH levels. Conversely, Fe and Ni displayed minimal leachability. These findings have significant implications for the reuse and environmental management of electric arc furnace dust.","PeriodicalId":233391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122003295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
