“…Mohammad Zaira M et al [22] used SEM to analyze the relationship between safety interventions and practices on a construction site, so as to improve systematic and comprehensive safety management in construction. Yang W et al [23] used SEM to evaluate the social impact of construction projects and their relationship to public response to identify and solve conflicts from a social risk management perspective.…”

Prefabricated construction (PC) has attracted wide spread attention as a model of sustainable development for the construction industry of the future. Although the PC has many advantages, it is still at an initial stage in China. Based on the current conditions in China, this study focuses on the interrelationships of factors affecting PC promotion. Firstly, through a comprehensive review of relevant literatures and expert recommendations, 5 factors were identified: policy factor, technical factor, management factor, market factor and cost factor. Next, the data were collected through a questionnaire survey, and the questionnaire data were processed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 22.0. The overall relationships of each factor were quantitatively analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that the policy factor plays a dominant role, while the management factor and market factors are also significant. This study also provides decision makers with relevant information about the factors involved, which will be helpful in devising appropriate strategies for the wider adoption of PC.

“…Several institutes, such as the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) [19] and the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) [20], proposed unique techniques for service life evaluation; however, they could not be developed to meet concrete specifications or international codes. Several reports have shown that construction projects affect human population, communities, and social relationships [15,16]. For example, human health and a reasonable quality of life cannot be achieved when living near a construction site owing to noise issues and traffic obstructions.…”

“…Previous research on life cycle CO 2 (LCCO 2 ), i.e., the evaluation of total CO 2 emissions, reported that an initial investment into construction materials and design details for reducing CO 2 was the most sustainable solution when compared with the total CO 2 considering frequent repairs and small CO 2 uptake in use [14]. (4) Reduction in social impact: Social impact is defined as "the consequences to human populations of any public or private actions that alter the ways in which people live, work, play, relate to one another, organize to meet their needs, and generally cope as members of society" [15] (p. 1436). Several reports have shown that construction projects affect human population, communities, and social relationships [15,16].…”

Current Trends of Durability Design and Government Support in South Korea: Chloride Attack

Abstract:Concrete is considered to be a construction material with high durability and excellent fire resistance. However, degradation occurs, leading to structural safety problems and expensive maintenance costs. Currently, durability design and its concepts are provided in the concrete specifications and structural design codes in many countries, but they vary in terms of the design methodologies and users' demands. Reinforced concrete (RC) structures based on a reasonable durability design with a quantitative procedure can prevent unnecessary maintenance expenses and reduce environmental loads. This paper presents the current trends of durability design in South Korea and government support for infrastructure. In this work, the two representative durability design philosophies (deterministic and probabilistic approaches) are briefly summarized, and the current guidelines and related requirements for durability design in several countries are investigated. Durability design is now changing from simple material requirement control to performance-based design with quantitative parameters considering various exposure classifications and evaluation processes. RC structures based on reasonable durability design can make a great contribution to reducing maintenance costs and environmental effects like CO 2 emissions.

Sometimes it’s important to simply say the words … as it is in the beginning of wisdom that is the definition of terms. When historians look at the world of project management, what will they say that we have said about climate change? Certainly more general—but absolutely legitimate—terms such as ‘sustainability’ have been used, but in a basic term search in the 3 oldest project management journals, I was surprised to see only a few dozen uses of ‘climate change’ as a specific term. Theconversation started a long time ago using those words, and PMRP would like to encourage more with this commentary on one of the central topics of this journal … climate change.
