Construction is a multi-type, multi-disciplinary and complex engineering system. In order to smoothly conduct construction process and to achieve the intended goal, it is necessary to carry out construction management in a scientific way. However, in the implementation of the system, there is often mismanagement which caused major safety accidents and the quality of construction has become a general concern. This paper analyzes some problems in the construction site, and proposed solutions to promote standardized law and safety measures for the construction management system.

In order to improve construction site management, we make the architect’ position as the starting point for our research ,analyze the similarities and differences between the project manager and the architect and transform the traditional building construction management system from centralized system into flat -like system. Furthermore, we propose that the implementation of the system must be assisted with the construction of credit system and the establishment and implementation of personal practice insurance system.

Abstract While a majority of system vulnerabilities such as performance losses and accidents are attributed to human errors, a closer inspection would reveal that often times the accumulation of unforeseen events that include both component failures and human errors contribute to such system failures. Human error and functional failure reasoning (HEFFR) is a framework to identify potential human errors, functional failures, and their propagation paths early in design so that systems can be designed to be less prone to vulnerabilities. In this paper, the application of HEFFR within the complex engineering system domain is demonstrated through the modeling of the Air France 447 crash. Then, the failure prediction algorithm is validated by comparing the outputs from HEFFR and what happened in the actual crash. Also, two additional fault scenarios are executed within HEFFR and in a commercially available flight simulator separately, and the outcomes are compared as a supplementary validation.

Abstract In this paper we introduce a methodology to reduce the effects of uncertainty in the design of a complex engineering system involving multiple decision makers. We focus on the uncertainty that is created when a disciplinary designer or design team must try and predict or model the behavior of other disciplinary subsystems. The design of a complex system is performed by many different designers and teams, each of which only have control over a small portion of the entire system. Modeling the interaction among these decision makers and reducing the uncertainty caused by the lack of global control is the focus of this paper. We use well developed concepts from the field of game theory to describe the interactions taking place, and concepts from robust design to reduce the effects of one decision-maker on another. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is also used to reduce the complexity of the interaction analysis while preserving behavior of the systems. The design of a passenger aircraft is used to illustrate the approach, and some encouraging results are discussed.

The quality of construction management is a complicated work, green evaluation should be carried out systematically analysis. Evaluation index system according to the factors affecting the constructions quality, the quality management system can divide into four indexes including staff, material, equipment and technology as factor layer. This system help evaluate construction management systematically and synthetically.

Fault diagnostics aims to locate the origin of an abnormity if it presents and therefore maximize the system performance during its full life-cycle. Many studies have been devoted to the feature extraction and isolation mechanisms of various faults. However, limited efforts have been spent on the optimization of sensor location in a complex engineering system, which is expected to be a critical step for the successful application of fault diagnostics. In this paper, a novel sensor location approach is proposed for the purpose of fault isolation using population-based incremental learning (PBIL). A directed graph is used to model the fault propagation of a complex engineering system. The multidimensional causal relationships of faults and symptoms were obtained via traversing the directed path in the directed graph. To locate the minimal quantity of sensors for desired fault isolatability, the problem of sensor location was firstly formulated as an optimization problem and then handled using PBIL. Two classical cases, including a diesel engine and a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU), were taken as examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Results show that the proposed method can minimize the quantity of sensors while keeping the capacity of fault isolation unchanged.

Today's technologies enable efficient data management and generally contribute to effective control of the construction process. There are various ways of focusing on a real construction project based on laser or digital camera measurements, however, the quality of outputs is depending on the lighting conditions. Proper lighting conditions greatly affect the result of the processed record, especially its final texture, geometry, and affect any errors in the measured values. There are various lighting conditions on the construction site, which affect the quality of the documentation made. While in the outdoor parts this situation is affected by daylight, inside the building we must rely on artificial lighting and as a result there are many parts without sufficient lighting, or the lighting is completely absent.In this article we focus on the evaluation of the impact of lighting in documenting the course of work on the site using 360 ° photogrammetry, especially in relation to verification of geometric accuracy, position of structures and current work in progress and follows the analysis of standard and technical requirements to determine appropriate ways to ensure adequate lighting.
