Building Information Modeling (BIM) Implementation Strategies for Sustainable Infrastructure in Africa: The Case of Ethiopia
Solomon Melaku Belay, James Godert, Asregedew Woldesenbet, Saeed Rokooei
Abstract—This study presents the key BIM implementation strategies for public infrastructure projects in developing countries, with an emphasis in the Ethiopian construction sector to enhance sustainability in the built environment. An empirical research approach was conducted using a structured questionnaire survey, initially validated though both content analysis. The statistical analysis result
KNOWLEDGE GENERATION FOR STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN STI WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR MACHINE LEARNING AND CYBERSECURITY IN ZIMBABWE
Professor Gabriel Kabanda
Research creates both knowledge and technology which are put into practical use through the process of innovation. The success in achieving applied scientific technologies can be measured in the form of technological solutions, patents, inventions, published research papers, etc. The purpose of the research was to formulate an economic framework and develop technological solutions for Zimbabwe wit
The effect of cohesive soil depth on consolidation coefficient and Compression index
M.A. Mahmoud, A.M. Radwan, M.A. Ali, A.A. Farag
The settlement is the most serious problem of fine-grained soils and caused by a phenomenon called soil consolidation. Most of previous studies were concerned with studying consolidation conditions depending on the consolidation's theories as Terzaghi's theory. In some cases, a simulation of reality is not given. It was necessary to study the effect of soil depth from ground surface on consolidati
Converting Egyptian Commercial Building to NZEB using Low- Carbon Measures
Ayman Mohameda, Moataz O. El-Sherif, Mohamed Fatouh
The present work aims at analyzing the energy savings of the low-carbon retrofitting measures in an existing administration building as well as their economic feasibility. Atstarting, energy consumption analysis of an exemplary existing commercial building inCairo (Egypt) is carried out. Then, low-carbon measures in the considered building areapplied and evaluated. The low- carbon measures includ
Assessment of Accessibility and Disability Planning in Nigerian Construction Industry
Emiri Dafe Aniekan
Most private and public buildings in Nigeria do not incorporate accessibility design for people with disability (PWD). PWD lack suitable access to school, market, bank and public facilities, access barriers can hinder public mobility, access to services, and social involvement for PWD. This research investigated the level of accessibility planning and design in Nigeria’s construction industry and
Contribution of Steel Shear Reinforcement in Two-Way Shear Resistance of Flat Plates (Parametric Study)
Mohamed M. Badawy
The current research presents an experimental, analytical and finite element investigation to study shear enhancement of flat plates by shear heads. Experimental results of nine half-scale concrete flat plate specimens were tested. Three different column aspect ratio were tested in the current study as follows: 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1. Two different lengths of shear heads from column face equal to 2.00d
