This paper presents a 'Sustainability Management Activity Zone' (SMAZ) to support the implementation of sustainable construction practices integrated within a generic design and construction process map, the Process Protocol (1998). This is being investigated within the C-SanD Project (Creating, Sustaining, and Disseminating Knowledge for Sustainable Construction: Tools, Methods and Architectures). A brief overview of sustainable development and sustainable construction is presented, followed by an introduction to the C-SanD project and its initial findings related to current practice and the perception of sustainability within the construction industry based on the first round of interviews. The paper also discusses some of the sustainability issues identified during the field work, and highlights the need for a structured framework to consider and incorporate sustainability issues during the whole design and construction process of a project. The latter part of the paper discusses the incorporation of these issues within the Process Protocol, as SMAZ. The paper argues that the key for successful use of SMAZ within the industry is the awareness about the sustainable development among design and construction staff and operatives, knowing the importance of different activities and sub-activities within the SMAZ tool, and motivation to bring changes for betterment within the current day-to-day construction and design processes. The paper towards the end also highlights the areas which need further research and development.

Design And Construction

As a typical granular bulk medium, problems are common in boulder-cobble mixed grounds, such as easy collapse and instability and difficult effective support for large-section tunnel excavation. Tunnels constructed in BCM grounds are rare still, and there is a big gap between the design and construction of tunnels. Based on the Nianggaicun highway tunnel crossing the BCM grounds, the construction technology of tunnel in BCM grounds is studied by means of literature investigation and field survey. Here are the main conclusions: the overall deformation of surrounding rock is quite small; the pressure distribution of surrounding rock is small and loose pressure is dominant, and the safety reserve of secondary lining is large. The deformation process of surrounding rock concentrates on the construction stage. During the construction process, there are many problems, such as serious overexcavation, difficulty of bolt penetration, and continuous rock fall. In this paper, a three-bench complementary cyclic excavation method is proposed, which replaces the original CD and CRD methods. Meanwhile, the supporting system is optimized. The results show that the disturbance of surrounding rock is reduced, while the safety of construction process and the reliability of structure are increased. The new excavation method and optimized supporting system are expected to fill the gap between design and construction of tunnel in BCM grounds and provide reference for construction of such tunnels in the future.

Simulation analysis on prestressed concrete pipe was carried out by using finite element software ANSYS. The internal and external pressure which the pipeline is subject to is simulated in real work process, and deformation and stress distribution of building pipeline structure are got. We have great understanding in the mechanical properties, at the same time give a detailed introduction for the prefabrication and on-site construction process. Three aspects in this paper for analysis, design and construction can provide safe and reliable reference for design and construction of similar pipeline structure.

Design And Construction

Design–build (DB) is adopted as a project delivery method in hopes to improve performance. Previous studies focus on upstream issues such as conditions for adoption and contractor selection, but few address the design and construction coordination issues that are very likely to be encountered in execution by new users. This paper investigates coordination problems arising from design and construction concurrence and solutions by studying five ongoing DB projects and interviewing nine major contract parties. Inconsistent application of the design and construction process and infrequent feedback are two major problems found to have high influence on DB execution. A work unit planning process with five steps is presented in this paper to help better manage the design and construction coordination of a DB project.

New design solutions for multimedia mobile scenes require the development and analysis of possible implementation of technical condition assessment procedures. The process of operation and diagnostics of multimedia mobile scenes depends on the diagnostic susceptibility, the guidelines for handling scenes should be taken into account already at the stage of the design and construction process, which reduces or eliminates the risk and increases the safety of mobile multimedia scenes.
