Investigation of Industrialised Building System Performance in Comparison to Conventional Construction Method

The formwork made up of Industrialized Building System is being acknowledged in many writings as a construction method that has many advantages especially on aspects of construction sustainability. This paper discusses the outcome of a research aimed in determining factors and elements that lead to selection of responsive formwork system. A list of sustainability elements in construction development is being summarized through several references. The development of questionnaire survey took place whereby it has been divided by three parts that are the demographic of respondents, the selection factors of formwork system and responsive level of sustainability objectives towards formwork system. The survey was conducted in several construction sites in Malaysia. The findings highlighted the sustainability elements for optimal Industrialized Building System (IBS) formwork system. This study encourages application of modern method to response to sustainable construction.

Probabilistic Diagnosis

A system for probabilistic diagnosis of jaundice has been used for studying the effects of taking into account the unreliability of diagnostic data caused by observer variation. Fourteen features from history and physical examination were studied. Bayes’ theorem was used for calculating the probabilities of a patient’s belonging to each of four diagnostic categories.The construction sample consisted of 61 patients. An equal number of patients were tested in the evaluation sample. Observer variation on the fourteen features had been assessed in two previous studies. The use of kappa-statistics for measuring observer variation allowed the construction of a probability transition matrix for each feature. Diagnostic probabilities could then be calculated with and without the inclusion of weights for observer variation. Tests of system performance revealed that discriminatory power remained unchanged. However, the predictions rendered by the variation-weighted system were diffident. It is concluded that taking observer variation into account may weaken the sharpness of probabilistic diagnosis but it may also help to explain the value of probabilistic diagnosis in future applications.
