“…The overall success of a project is dependent on five important aspects, including cost, time, quality, environment, and safety precautions. If these five conditions are met, every construction project may be deemed a success; hence, the OPS is based on effective time management, regulated cash flow, quality assurance, environmental preservation, and public safety [37,87,91]. It is because of the fact that the construction project's success should provide benefit to society, the environment, and the economy [44,90,91].…”

After a decade of research and development, 3D printing is now an established technique in the construction sector, complete with its own set of accepted standards. The use of 3D printing in construction might potentially improve the outcome of the project as a whole. However, traditional strategies are often used in the residential construction industry in Malaysia, which causes serious public safety and health issues along with a negative impact on the environment. In the context of project management, overall project success (OPS) has five dimensions, such as cost, time, quality, safety, and environment. Understanding the role of 3D printing in relation to OPS dimensions in Malaysian residential construction projects would allow construction professionals to adopt 3D printing more easily. The aim of the study was to find the impact of 3D construction printing on OPS while considering the implications for all five dimensions. Fifteen professionals were interviewed to first evaluate and summarise the impact factors of 3D printing using the current literature. Then, a pilot survey was conducted, and the results were checked using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The feasibility of 3D printing in the building sector was investigated by surveying industry experts. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to investigate and validate the fundamental structure and linkages between 3D printing and OPS (PLS-SEM). A strong correlation was found between 3D printing in residential projects and OPS. Highly positive implications are indicated by the environmental and safety dimensions of OPS. Malaysian decision-makers may look to the outcomes of introducing 3D printing into the residential construction industry as a modern method for increasing environmental sustainability, public health and safety, reducing cost and time, and increasing the quality of construction work. With this study’s findings in hand, construction engineering management in Malaysia’s residential building sector might benefit from a deeper understanding of how 3D printing is used for improving environmental compliance, public health and safety, and project scope.

“…Despite the rapid development of high-speed roads in China, Class-IV roads form a road network in nearly every corner of the country and play an important role in national unity, local management, resource development, and poverty alleviation. In recent years, the scale of Class-IV road has rapidly expanded to keep up with the rate of economic development [33,34], especially for the development of rural areas. However, the population in poor and rural areas remains large, and Class-IV roads will continue to be an important public facility for getting people out of the mountainous areas and to the nearest town for a long time in the future.…”

Rapid road construction and expansion in China resulted in massive GHG emissions. The carbon emission factors of raw materials, particularly cement, have a significant influence on the calculation of GHG emissions from road construction. This study estimates GHG emissions from road construction by taking into account regional differences in cement carbon emission factors. The results indicate that (1) total GHG emissions from road construction have a “U” shape from 2009 to 2019, with the highest level being 437 million t CO2e 2009 and the lowest level being 184 million t CO2e in 2017; (2) Class-Ⅳ roads account for roughly 80% of total GHG emissions from road construction; and (3) GHG emissions from road construction are shifting from east to west regions. This is the first paper to calculate GHG emissions from road construction by taking into account both road type and cement carbon emission factors. The findings of this study could provide references for transportation agencies to better understand the impacts of road construction to climate change and improve policymaking, especially for the development of road construction technologies and raw material production technologies.
