Design And Construction

BIM is widely accepted in construction because of its concept of integration, and will be the mainstream in the future. BIM became more and more important in collaborating on all the working stages during building life-cycles due to its great advantage in data integration and processing. The connection between Rhino, a designing software, and BIM becomes necessary. This article introduced the adoption and implementation of Rhino in the Steel Detailed Design and Construction in Datong Library. The guidance and effectiveness of parameterized models generated by Rhino in smoothing the complicated steel construction process was also introduced.

Design And Construction

The Federal Lands Highway (FLH) Program is a $1 billion annual program administered by FHWA. The program provides financial resources and technical assistance for public roads that give access to a variety of federal and Indian lands, including those administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Much of this work is dedicated to the design and construction of roadway projects, which must incorporate the strategic sustainability values of these agencies and FHWA. This paper identifies key FLH sustainability values and uses the Greenroads rating system taxonomy and Greenroads scores on seven case study projects to draw conclusions about FLH project-level sustainability practices. Findings are that (a) projects scored in the 21- to 26-point range and none achieved certification, (b) 14 identifiable sustainability practices are well integrated into project delivery, (c) 12 practices can be considered potential areas of improvement for little additional effort, and (d) 15 practices could be considered priorities based on FHWA and partner agency values.
