Empirical Evaluation of Structural Frame Performance Criteria: Realizing the Potential of Hybrid Concrete Construction

Sustainable performance criteria for construction method selection in concrete buildings

“…Compared to other published prefabrication research studies [15,28,39], the response rate (23.1%) obtained in this study is considered to be good. Considering that the questionnaire was completed by nearly 100 industry practitioners, the level of distribution of the varying participant groups is acceptable, and the experience of the respondents in the concrete prefabrication buildings and in the construction industry is quite respectable, the data analysis results are considered reliable and satisfactory.…”

“…Regarding modular construction, the feasibility of using modular construction technology for a particular project or a petrochemical power plant based on various factors classified into five influencing categories were determined [24,25]. In terms of hybrid concrete construction, salient criteria for contractors in their choice and use of HCC were identified [26], and HCC performance indicators, which would help to inform the process of deciding whether or not to adopt HCC technology rather than more traditional alternatives, were selected [27,28].…”

Identification of sustainable criteria for decision-making on roof stacking construction method

“…The ranking process assesses the importance of each decision making indicator in relation to the other criteria. The developed methodology in this paper adopts similar strategies that established sustainability criteria for sustainable building and construction method selection (Chen, Okudan, & Riley, 2010;Bhatt, Macwan, Bhatt, & Patel, 2010;Chen, Okudan, & Riley, 2010;Cinelli, Coles, & Kirwan, 2014;Idrus & Newman, 2002;Rid, Lammers, & Zimmermann, 2017;Soetanto, Dainty, Glass, & Price, 2006). Given the special conditions of roof stacking projects, a state of the art performance criteria have been identified that facilitates the decision making process on selecting the most sustainable roof stacking construction.…”
