Visualization of the Modeled Degradation of Building Flooring Systems in Building Maintenance

An Approach for the Automatic Classification of Work Descriptions in Construction Projects

“…In this sense, powerful data models like the object oriented one and the flourishing Building Information Modeling (BIM) are being used in relation to different construction issues (Yu and Adeli, ; Chuang and Adeli, ; Adeli and Yu, ; Adeli and Kao, ; Karim and Adeli, ; Yan and Ma, a; Cho et al., ). Other well‐known technologies, such as GIS (Qin and Faber, ; Borrmann et al., 2014; Karan et al., ) are used for visualization (Khosrowshahi et al., ) and simulation (Sadeghi and Fayek, ; Lim et al., ).…”

A Natural‐Language‐Based Approach to Intelligent Data Retrieval and Representation for Cloud BIM

“…A graphical representation was presented, supporting multiple design representation subsystems and their interactions to facilitate design collaboration in 3D virtual worlds (Gu and Tsai, ). An approach to modeling the degradation visualization of building flooring systems was proposed for building maintenance (Khosrowshahi et al., ). Construction quality was improved and coordination was enhanced among trade contractors based on a visual process for planning construction (Tan et al., ).…”

Factors influencing the retrofitting of existing office buildings using Adelaide, South Australia as a case study

“…Retrofitting is a segment of the construction industry, particularly in Australia, with much opportunity for expansion in the future. It is necessary to understand that all buildings and structures, whilst routinely maintained, will ultimately face inadequacy through the degradation of their elements or "functional obsolescence" (Allehaux and Tessier, 2002;Khosrowshahi et al, 2014). Whether to demolish or retrofit is a question which cannot be answered simply and necessitates a multidimensional and holistic investigation.…”
