VDC framework proposal for curtain wall construction process optimization
(CRC Press, 2023)
Acceso restringido
A building is made up of structural and non-structural elements. Among these are the curtain wall systems. The curtain walls are glazed elements that can cover the building façade entirely and provide thermal and enclosure ...
Construction process time optimization of a reinforced concrete reaction slab, implementing the VDC methodology
(CRC Press, 2023)
Acceso restringido
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has shown low productivity levels, mainly due to the fragmentation between the agents involved. Given this, the industry is modernizing and implementing ...
Detection and Evaluation of Construction Cracks through Image Analysis Using Computer Vision
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Acceso abierto
The introduction of artificial intelligence methods and techniques in the construction industry has fostered innovation and constant improvement in the automation of monitoring and control processes at construction sites, ...
A Methodology for Embedding Building Information Modelling (BIM) in an Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Undergraduate programs face the permanent challenge of constantly transforming to keep an up-to-date curriculum according to globalization and internationalization processes. In the case of civil engineers, professional ...
Determination of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Compressive Strength and Elasticity Modulus via Ultrasonic Pulse Tests
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Compressive strength and elasticity modulus are the main mechanical properties of concrete. The non-destructive ultrasound pulse test can be used to determine these properties without compromising the structure’s integrity. ...
Dataset of manually classified images obtained from a construction site
(Elsevier, 2022)
Acceso abierto
A manually classified dataset of images obtained by four static cameras located around a construction site is presented. Eight object classes, typically found in a construction environment, were considered. The dataset ...
Integrating a LiDAR Sensor in a UAV Platform to Obtain a Georeferenced Point Cloud
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
The combination of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors and unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) platforms have garnered considerable interest in recent years because of the wide range
of applications performed through ...
Experimental Volume Incidence Study and the Relationship of Polypropylene Macrofiber Slenderness to the Mechanical Strengths of Fiber-Reinforced Concretes
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
An experimental study was conducted to examine the mechanical strengths of concretes with straight high-strength knurled polypropylene macrofibers. Incidences of concrete mechanical strengths were determined for three ...
Effect of lithological and geotechnical characteristics on the generation of debris flows in the arid basin of Mirave, Peru
(Institute for Environmental Research in Hydrographic Basins (IPABHi), 2022)
Acceso abierto
Studies concerning the debris flows in mountain areas are relevant because of their potential negative effects on the human communities and infrastructure in their areas of influence. To advance the understanding of the ...
Prefabricated Reinforcement in Construction Using VDC: Case Study Ovalo Monitor Bridge
(The International Group for Lean Construction, 2022)
Acceso abierto
In construction projects, there may be rework and delays associated with construction processes with a low level of industrialization, resulting from the lack of constructability of the designs. To promote industrialization ...
