A Semantic-Driven Framework for Facilitating Reusability and Interoperability of Construction Simulation Modeling
DownloadFall 2012
This research describes a semantic-driven framework to facilitate reusability and interoperability of simulation and modeling of construction processes. An immense amount of knowledge of construction processes and simulation modeling is needed to develop construction simulation models. Knowledge...

A design support system to determine the machine eligibility for manufacturing frame assemblies
DownloadFall 2019
As offsite construction is trending, an increasing number of construction products are fabricated in a controlled factory environment. By using automated machinery, the productivity and accuracy of construction-oriented products have been improved. However, as BIM models do not provide...

Extracting and Integrating Industrial Construction Steel Trade Data in ill-formed BIM Models
DownloadFall 2017
Oil and gas are known for their huge-size and complex projects that consist of multiple trades’ subprojects such as concrete, steel, and piping. These subprojects are executed within a confined area during a limited time frame. This requires careful planning and coordination between these...
