Teaching construction project management with BIM support: Experience and lessons learned

This paper presents experiences and lessons learned during the introduction of Building Information Models (BIM) in construction engineering project management courses. We illustratively show that the introduction of BIM-based project management tools helped the teachers of two courses to develop more realistic project-based class assignments that supported students with learning how to apply different formal project management methods to real-world project management problems. In particular, we show that the introduction of BIM allows educators to design a class project that allowed the use of more realistic cases that better simulate real-world project conditions, helped students to learn how different project management methods integrate with each other, integrate change management tasks in a class assignment, and learn how to optimize project plans.

Environment and project appraisal: lessons from two cases

The appraisal of environmentally sensitive projects should address several issues: the political dimension of natural-resource projects, the measurement of environmental impacts, and the use of cost-benefit and multi-criteria appraisal techniques. This article describes two applications of sustainability-oriented project appraisal: the appraisal of the Forestry and Environmental Protection Project in Colombia and a scenario analysis for Lake Burullus in Egypt.This study was sponsored by the Economic Research Foundation (Ecozoek), which is part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

Urban freight transport policies in Rome: lessons learned and the road ahead

Given that few studies have investigated the effects of implementing city logistics measures, this paper focuses on actions implemented in the inner area of Rome in the last 10 years in order to improve both livability and freight distribution, providing insights into the effectiveness of such measures. The analysis covers the famous inner area of the city where the main tourist monuments are located and includes several pedestrianized shopping streets. Evaluation is based on data collected in 1999 and 2008 consisting of traffic counts and interviews with retailers and truck drivers. The implemented measures provided effective in abating through-traffic, in reducing the share of transport on own-account and in increasing the use of less polluting vehicles. Further, the increase in the number of stops per tour, in the average quantity delivered and hence in the average loading factor was revealed. Although all these changes improved the freight transport within the city, some critical issues remain and further measures have to be implemented.     

某国际工程项目管理的经验教训

加入WTO后,我国建设市场全面对外开放并与国际市场接轨,同时国内建筑施工企业加速“走出去”的步伐,开拓国际工程总承包市场,而我国目前工程建设的管理水平和管理模式还与国际先进水平相差较大,对国际惯例的适应性和符合性还有待加强,这就需要学习先进的管理经验,提高自己的管理水平。现结合我国公司在泰国的项目案例,总结国际工程项目管理的经验教训,希望能为我国建筑施工企业发展境外业务提供借鉴。

A numerical study of THM effects on the near-field safety of a hypothetical nuclear waste repository—BMT1 of the DECOVALEX III project. Part 3: Effects of THM coupling in sparsely fractured rocks

As a part of the international DECOVALEX III project, and the European BENCHPAR project, the impact of thermal–hydrological–mechanical (THM) couplings on the performance of a bentonite-back-filled nuclear waste repository in near-field crystalline rocks is evaluated in a Bench-Mark Test problem (BMT1) and the results are presented in a series of three companion papers in this issue. This is the third paper with focuses on the effects of THM processes at a repository located in a sparsely fractured rock. Several independent coupled THM analyses presented in this paper show that THM couplings have the most significant impact on the mechanical stress evolution, which is important for repository design, construction and post-closure monitoring considerations. The results show that the stress evolution in the bentonite-back-filled excavations and the surrounding rock depends on the post-closure evolution of both fields of temperature and fluid pressure. It is further shown that the time required to full resaturation may play an important role for the mechanical integrity of the repository drifts. In this sense, the presence of hydraulically conducting fractures in the near-field rock might actually improve the mechanical performance of the repository. Hydraulically conducting fractures in the near-field rocks enhances the water supply to the buffers/back-fills, which promotes a more timely process of resaturation and development of swelling pressures in the back-fill, thus provides timely confining stress and support to the rock walls. In one particular case simulated in this study, it was shown that failure in the drift walls could be prevented if the compressive stresses in back-fill were fully developed within 50 yr, which is when thermally induced rock strain begins to create high differential (failure-prone) stresses in the near-field rocks.

Hard rock TBM tunneling in challenging ground: Developments and lessons learned from the field

TBM tunneling is an ever-increasing challenge for underground construction, and with each new tunnel bored there are unknown elements when boring through the earth. The most extensive Geotechnical Baseline Reports can miss fault lines, water inflows, squeezing ground, rock bursting, and other types of extreme conditions. This paper will draw on the considerable experience within Robbins to analyze successful methods of dealing with the most challenging conditions encountered, with a particular focus on fractured and faulted ground, mixed face tunneling, and tunneling in karst or water-bearing conditions. It will discuss new methods, including Dual Mode or “Crossover” type machines, which can increase the efficiency of excavation in such conditions.     

Laboratory pull-out tests on fully grouted rock bolts and cable bolts:Results and lessons learned

Laboratory pull-out tests were conducted on the following rock bolts and cable bolts:steel rebars,smooth steel bars,fiberglass reinforced polymer threaded bolts,flexible cable bolts,IR5/IN special cable bolts and Mini-cage cable bolts.The diameter of the tested bolts was between 16 mm and 26 mm.The bolts were grouted in a sandstone sample using resin or cement grouts.The tests were conducted under either constant radial stiffness or constant confining pressure boundary conditions applied on the outer surface of the rock sample.In most tests,the rate of displacement was about 0.02 mm/s.The tests were performed using a pull-out bench that allows testing a wide range of parameters.This paper provides an extensive database of laboratory pull-out test results and confirms the influence of the confining pressure and the embedment length on the pull-out response(rock bolts and cable bolts).It also highlights the sensitivity of the results to the operating conditions and to the behavior of the sample as a whole,which cannot be neglected when the test results are used to assess the bolt-grout or the grouterock interface.     

Managing hillside landscapes as national forest: lessons learned from the Beijing Western Hills

The question of how to sustainably manage hillside landscapes as national forests is a global concern, yet strategies for effective policy action remain to be discussed, especially in China where reforestation and nationalisation of barren mountains have ended up causing even more problems. While the existing studies of Chinese national forests mainly focus on general overviews of national policies that omit nuanced and empirically rich information, this paper presents instead a deep case study of the Beijing Western Hills in which occurred the first synthesis of hillside forest management instruments that now form Chinese public policy. The findings suggest that state intervention is indispensable to hillside forest management, but it may become financially unsustainable without private sector involvement. A transition to collaborative governance is necessary to broaden and diversify the range of revenues for and from hillside forests, and it should happen step-by-step so that those newly included in decision-making can get better prepared.
