“…Construction schedules are dynamic and thus need to be updated frequently to reflect changes during construction. El-Shahhat et al (1995) found that between 29% and 67% of all construction errors occurred at the design phase, while only 12% to 59% of errors occurred at the construction phase. Errors committed at the design phase may be magnified at the construction phase and cause problems during construction operations.…”

Construction scheduling for highway projects is an important process during the design stage. Numerous research studies have attempted to apply new techniques to improve the accuracy of construction scheduling. Many of these studies, however, failed to address the practicality of the scheduling methods and the needs of highway designers. The authors conducted literature reviews, surveys, and interviews to study the challenges designers face in estimating production rates for highway construction. We found that estimation tools for production rates should be flexible, user friendly, and efficient yet comprehensive. Data should be collected from reliable sources and analyzed appropriately and efficiently before being applied to a production rate tool. This study suggested that combining designers' experience and reliable tools is the most effective way to develop realistic production rates for highway construction scheduling.

“…Among the available methods, Hartford et al (2016) reports the Technique for Human Error Rate Prediction (THERP) and A Technique for Human Event Analysis (ATHEANA) as most suitable for dam spillway operation. Several reports have been published on the inclusion of HRA in the analysis of water and other civil engineering infrastructure (Bea 2006;El-Shahhat et al 1994;Grigoriu 1984). A detailed review of the use of HRA in dam safety and hydropower operations is provided by Hartford et al (2016, Chapter 8).…”

DOE has jurisdiction over 12 water impoundments classified as dams. They are located in Tennessee, Colorado, Georgia, and South Carolina, with two dams rated as high-hazard. Department of the Interior Most Department of the Interior agencies own, operate, or have dams and dam safety in their organizational charters. US Bureau of Reclamation: Through the Reclamation Act of 1902 and subsequent legislation, USBR is authorized to operate as a federal water resource management and development agency in the 17 western states. The USBR inventory currently consists of 474 dams located throughout the West.

“…Ursachen für Baufehler, die Bauwerksschäden und Einstürzen vorangehen, wurden in der Literatur entweder Arbeitsschritten innerhalb des Entwurfs-und Ausführungsprozesses zugeordnet, z. B. in [90,91], oder die Einsturzursachen wurden bauwerksspezifisch untersucht, z. B. für Brücken [7] oder für Dämme [92].…”

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Bestimmung der Einsturzhäufigkeiten von Hochbauten bzw. Gebäuden für verschiedene Länder und Regionen. Zunächst werden entweder direkte Angaben des Gebäudebestands verwendet oder Gebäudebestände über Ersatzparameter abgeschätzt. Die Einsturzereignisse wurden aus der Tagespresse oder aus der Literatur entnommen. Neben der Berechnung der Einsturzhäufigkeiten werden auch die Mortalitäten durch Gebäudeeinstürze bestimmt. Dazu wurden wiederum Angaben aus der Tagespresse oder Literatur verwendet. Außerdem erfolgt eine kurze Diskussion der Ursachen der Gebäudeeinstürze. Für Industrieländer ergibt sich eine mittlere jährliche Einsturzhäufigkeit von 2,4 × 10–7 pro Jahr und für Entwicklungsländer von 4,7 × 10–6 pro Jahr. Die mittlere Mortalität liegt bei 9,8 × 10–8 für die Industrieländer und 1,5 × 10–6 pro Jahr für die Entwicklungsländer. Die Ursachen von Gebäudeeinstürzen liegen in den Entwicklungsländern – und damit bei der überwiegenden Anzahl der Einstürze – in der ungenügenden Qualifikation der Beteiligten.
