“…The operation safety risk of steel-structure buildings generally refers to the probability of internal and external factors adversely affecting the use of steel-structure buildings. Research on safety risks in steel-structure buildings requires a comprehensive methodology to evaluate the building's structural safety performance in various phases, including structural design, construction, operation, management, and maintenance [5]. This research encompasses diverse aspects, such as structural design and analysis, material properties, seismic performance, node connection, environmental impact, and other relevant factors [6].…”

Scholars and engineers have increasingly focused on the safety of steel-structure buildings. An accurate analysis can substantially reduce the collapse probability of these buildings. This paper proposes a novel risk analysis model to assess the safety of steel-structure buildings. The vector entropy method and weight clustering were used to improve the controlled interval and memory (CIM) model. The proposed model has the advantages of a straightforward modeling approach, strong adaptability, and logical relationships. The new strategy improves the reliability and stability of the CIM model results when the maximum membership principle is not applicable. The Jiangxi Exhibition Center in China, which has a steel truss roof, is used as a case study. The results indicate a high safety risk of the project and the need for maintenance and repair. The improved CIM model has higher stability and adaptability for analyzing the safety risks of steel structure than the standard CIM model.

“…Finally, Hu et al [31] proposed an early risk-recognition approach through "Prevention through Design (PtD)", to manage the exposure to hazards associated with the operation of one or more tower cranes in construction sites, by using a route-finding algorithm and building information modelling (BIM). They provided a taxonomy of crane-related construction risks based on the type of energy involved in the operation and grouped the 15 identified risks into four categories of energy: (1) electricity, (2) motion, (3) gravity, and (4) chemical.…”

The construction industry is one of the riskiest sectors worldwide, with crane operations being one of the most dangerous activities. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the key factors involved in crane-related occupational accidents in the construction industry in Spain. To this end, 1314 accidents involving cranes were analyzed from a total of 241,937 accidents that occurred in the construction of buildings. The data were collected from the Spanish government’s occupational accident statistics corresponding to the years 2012–2021. The results evidenced a statistically significant relationship between cranes as the material agent and the size of the company, with 95% of cases corresponding to small- or medium-sized companies (less than 250 employees). Additionally, it shows how the crane operator is identified as a material contributor to crane accidents in the construction industry, and may be considered a key component to these accidents. In conclusion, improving the knowledge gained about the key factors in crane-related accidents at work in the construction industry provides essential information that helps to design and implement appropriate preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of unwanted events with these machines.

“…Sometimes, however, uncertainties related to safety require spatiotemporal analysis. Hu et al (2023), for example, presented a strategy for dealing with safety accidents induced by crane operations, based on a spatiotemporal analysis that was based on a BIM model. They collected data using the BIM methodology, applied AI algorithms to perform path analysis (connected to the crane's position), and visualized the results using a hazard exposure heatmap.…”

Crises globais, como pandemias e guerras, evidenciam como os projetos de construção são afetados por eventos inesperados, normalmente ignorados pelas equipes de planejamento. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é revisar a literatura para entender como as incertezas são consideradas nos métodos de planejamento de obra e quais são as próximas etapas para enfrentar novas crises. Assim, os autores mapearam as variáveis tradicionais que são incluídas como incertezas nos métodos de planejamento, como tempo e custo do projeto, bem como as variáveis incomuns que não são normalmente incluídas como incertezas nos métodos, como questões de segurança e sustentabilidade. O estado da arte dos métodos de planejamento com incertezas envolveu uma leitura minuciosa de 103 artigos de periódicos encontrados por meio de uma revisão sistemática adaptada da literatura, que incluiu, além dos processos tradicionais, um estudo cienciométrico e uma análise de bola de neve. Como resultado, descobriu-se que as principais incertezas consideradas estão relacionadas a tempo, custo e recursos. Além disso, foi possível observar que não existe uma única técnica consolidada para incorporar incertezas nos métodos de planejamento, mas sim uma combinação de diferentes técnicas, desde as mais tradicionais com análise analítica até as mais contemporâneas com algoritmos de inteligência artificial.
