Dr. Alireza Kaboli obtained an MEng in Structural Engineering from Semnan University, Iran, in 2007, and a Ph.D. in Construction Engineering and Management from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, Australia, in 2014. He previously served as a lecturer at Azad University, Iran, and a guest lecturer at UNSW. Dr. Kaboli has published more than twenty conference and journal papers.
This Edited Volume “Advances and Technologies in Building Construction and Structural Analysis” is a collection of reviewed and relevant research chapters, offering a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field of advances and technologies in building construction and structural analysis. The book comprises single chapters authored by various researchers and edited by an expert active in the alternative medicine research area. All chapters are complete in themselves but united under a common research study topic. This publication aims at providing a thorough overview of the latest research efforts by international authors on advances and technologies in building construction and structural analysis and opening new possible research paths for further novel developments.
Go to the bookDigital construction is increasingly introduced to the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The fifth dimension of Building Information Modeling (5D BIM) has a significant contribution to the AEC industry, such as managing time and costs and resources management. However, 5D BIM has not fulfilled its promise completely. The major challenge of implementing the 5D BIM technology and applications is the interoperability between technologies and the low accuracy of measurement estimations. Dynamo is adopted in this chapter for detailed quantity measurement. Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is one of the additive manufacturing technologies which is recommended to be used in construction. 3DP is aiming to create complex and customized geometries. This chapter demonstrates how to apply the Dynamo scripts of detailed quantity take-off for estimating the volume of elements created by 3DP. Dynamo as a quantity take-off Add-in in Revit is always used for detailed quantity take-off or precise model created. After the detailed quantity take-off from Revit, the data can be exported into Excel extension, which allows the quantity surveyors to insert the price per unit to the file and to generate a Bill of Quantity (BOQ). This chapter will offer a procedure for applying Dynamo through two selected case studies.
