This study investigates the relationship between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and knowledge management in large‐scale construction projects, emphasizing risk management, and increasing productivity. This study aims to identify the most important and impactful aspects of modern management techniques in the large‐scale construction sector to improve construction quality; focusing on cost reduction, energy conservation, and pollution reduction during construction. Employing a validated questionnaire from experts and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the research prioritizes key factors, elucidating the pivotal role of BIM in understanding project geometry, efficient documentation, design flexibility, and reduced project delays. Ascertained through data analysis employing the pairwise comparisons method of the AHP analysis method, the compatibility of all comparisons and matrices arising from the decision‐making process of experts was below 0.1. The results establish BIM's technical capabilities, economic considerations, and pollution reduction as paramount, contributing significantly to improve large‐scale construction project risk management. The prioritization of the main criteria reveals their significance in the following order: BIM technical capabilities (0.281), BIM economic capabilities (0.231), pollution reduction (0.228), knowledge management capabilities (0.096), BIM time capabilities (0.090), and human resources management capabilities (0.074). BIM can improve risk management for large‐scale construction projects by: using the BIM model to understand the geometry and features of large‐scale construction projects; digitizing and organizing contract documents, project data, plans, work instructions, roles and responsibilities, cost, time, and energy analysis, and other project‐related documents for efficient project management; decreased duplication and project delays; reducing the need for on‐site personnel during implementation and CO2 emissions reduction. According to the results of the BIM model utilization to better understand the geometry and characteristics of large‐scale construction projects, the item was identified as the most significant and influential among the main components.

“…The construction sector contributes to 30% of raw material utilization, nearly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions [1,2], and up to 40% of solid waste generation [3]. Consequently, integrating bio-based materials into the construction industry has emerged as a focal objective within EU policies, aimed at fostering sustainable practices across the entire value chain [4,5] and throughout a building's lifespan to reduce the carbon emissions [6,7] as well as contributing to reducing pollution and resource consumption [8][9][10][11][12].…”

This research explores the development and validation activities of a bio-based façade system within the Basajaun H2020 project, focusing on enhancing the utilization of bio-based components within building envelopes to replace conventional solutions with eco-friendly alternatives. This paper reports the methodologies employed to detect requirements and outline the testing protocols undertaken to validate the façade system design devised within the project, focusing on the original façade components as the biocomposite profile. Vision and opaque façade modules are prototyped and tested following curtain wall standards for performance (EN 13830:2015) and acoustic assessments (EN ISO 717-1:2020) to showcase the efficacy of the developed solution. The conducted tests demonstrate the feasibility of integrating bio-based components as alternatives to conventional materials into building envelopes, aligning with project expectations and prevailing standards for curtain wall façade solutions. Notably, the designed façade system meets technical conditions and research objectives. Nevertheless, the paper underscores the need for further refinements to facilitate solution industrialization and explore broader market applicability focusing on the biocomposite profile.

This investigation considered the usability of ceramic waste powder (CWP) in altered quantities in reinforced concrete beams (RCBs). In this way, it was aimed to reduce the environmental impacts of concrete by using CWP as a raw material in RCBs. 12 small-scale shear RCBs with the dimensions of 100 × 150 × 1000 mm were tested in this study. The variations of stirrups spacing and CWP ratio were examined in these specimens. The percentages of CWP by weight utilized in RCBs were 10%, 20%, and 30%, and stirrups spacings were adopted as 270 mm, 200 mm, and 160 mm. At the end of the study, it was determined that more than 10% CWP additive negatively affected the RCBs' compressive strength. The load-carrying capacity reduced between 30.3% and 59.4% when CWP increased from 0% to 30% as compared to RCB with stirrups spacing of 270 mm without CWP. However, compared to RCB with stirrups spacings of 200 mm and 160 mm without CWP, there were decreases in the load-carrying capacity as 21.4%–54.3% and 18.6%–54.6%, respectively. While the CWP ratio increased, the specimens with 160 mm, 200 mm, and 270 mm stirrups spacings obtained a lower maximum load value. However, with the increase of the CWP ratio in the specimens with 160 mm stirrups spacing, RCBs reached the maximum load-carrying capacity at an earlier displacement value. When stirrups spacing was selected as 270 mm, it was observed that the maximum load-carrying capacity of RCBs reached at a similar displacement value as the CWP ratio increased. Besides, it was resulted that the bending stiffness of RCBs reduced as the quantity of CWP enhanced. The bending stiffness decreased by 29.1% to 66.4% in the specimens with 270 mm stirrups spacing, 36.3% to 20.2% with 200 mm stirrups spacing, and 10.3% to 36.9% with 160 mm stirrups spacing. As an implication of the experiments, the use of CWP up to 10% in RCBs was realized as an economical and environmental approach and is suggested. There is some evidence to report that making use of CWP may be considered to be ecologically benign. This is due to the fact that reusing CWP may significantly reduce CO2 emissions, save energy, and reduce total power consumption. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared to the analytical calculations.
