Development of a BIM-based Decision Support Tool for Building Circularity Assessment (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Qazzaz, I., Osorio-Sandova, C., Tokbolat, S., & Thermou, G. (2024, August). Development of a BIM-based Decision Support Tool for Building Circularity Assessment. Presented at ICCBE 2024: The 20th conference of the International Society for Computing in Civil and Building Engineering, Montreal, Canada

The transition to a circular economy aims to reduce the consumption of raw materials and minimize waste. To achieve these goals in the context of the built environment, it is crucial to conduct a building circularity assessment (BCA) and select an op...

Semantic Web for BIM-Based Automated Project Management and Control: A Review (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Palihakkara, A. D., Osorio-Sandoval, C., & Tizani, W. (2024, August). Semantic Web for BIM-Based Automated Project Management and Control: A Review. Presented at International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ICCCBE), Montreal, Canada

The integration of semantic web technologies in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has gained momentum in recent years, with promising studies being conducted for various use cases. Furthermore, its necessity has been impl... Read More about Semantic Web for BIM-Based Automated Project Management and Control: A Review.

A BIM-Based Assessment Method for Reusing Components from Existing Precast Concrete Buildings (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Jawhar, H., Thermou, G., Osorio-Sandoval, C., & Tokbolat, S. (2024, August). A BIM-Based Assessment Method for Reusing Components from Existing Precast Concrete Buildings. Presented at ICCBE 2024: The 20th conference of the International Society for Computing in Civil and Building Engineering, Montreal, Canada

Reusing concrete components is a promising solution for mitigating the environmental impact of waste generated by construction and demolition activities. This study aims to contribute to this effort by assessing the reusability of existing precast co...

Conceptual Framework for Integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Pavement Management System (PMS) (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Utami, R., OSORIO SANDOVAL, C. A., & Thom, N. (2024, August). Conceptual Framework for Integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Pavement Management System (PMS). Presented at ICCBE 2024: The 20th conference of the International Society for Computing in Civil and Building Engineering, Montreal, Canada

In developing countries, pavement management systems (PMS) face limitations such as insufficient data, budget constraints, and inadequate analysis tools. To address those limitations, simplified PMS are needed to increase efficiency and effectiveness...

Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension (2019)
Journal Article
Cabrera, M., Tizani, W., Mahmood, M., & Shamsudin, M. F. (2020). Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 165, Article 105766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2019.105766

This paper investigates the combined failure mode of the Extended Hollo-Bolt (EHB) and the effect of the column thickness on the tensile behaviour of the blind fastener. A three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) model was developed, validated against e... Read More about Analysis of Extended Hollo-Bolt Connections: Combined Failure in Tension.

A BIM-based model for constructability assessment of conceptual design (2018)
Journal Article
Fadoul, A., Tizani, W., & Kochc, C. (2018). A BIM-based model for constructability assessment of conceptual design. Advances in Computational Design, 3(4), 367-384. https://doi.org/10.12989/acd.2018.3.4.367

The consideration of constructability issues at the design stage can lead to improved construction performance with smooth project delivery and savings in time and money. Empirical studies demonstrate the value obtained by integrating construction kn... Read More about A BIM-based model for constructability assessment of conceptual design.
