Effects of building information modeling prior knowledge on applying virtual reality in construction education: lessons from a comparison study

Abstract Applying building information modeling (BIM) and virtual reality (VR) in construction education is an effective way to achieve better study motivation, learnability, creativity, and observation of the real world. However, whether different levels of BIM prior knowledge affect students’ VR experimental learning, if at all, has not been examined. Therefore, this study employs a teaching intervention experiment to access the VR learning process based on the BIM prior knowledge. A total of 47 students, from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, participated in the experiment. They were grouped according to whether they had taken the prior BIM tutorial section, with 23 participants in the group having completed the tutorial and 24 participants in the group that had not. Experiment materials were created and rendered via Autodesk Revit and Iris VR; the materials supported three tasks related to the underground design review scenarios and three other tasks about site planning review scenarios. After the experiment, a comparison study was done to discuss their differences based on VR task performances and satisfaction. The results revealed that the BIM prior knowledge mediated both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional navigations when students performed the tasks. Moreover, the relationship differences within the satisfactions showed that BIM prior knowledge effectively affected the learning outcomes. In conclusion, the comparison study implies that students’ BIM prior knowledge is efficacious in the students’ VR task performance and their VR satisfaction from cognitive and memory perspectives.

Class A Prediction Symposium on Debris Flow Impact Forces on Single and Dual Barriers

Over recent years, significant advances have been made in the modelling of the impact dynamics between debris flows and single and dual rigid and flexible barriers. Numerical tools and analytical formulations have been proposed to predict the impact force, runup height, barrier deformation, and overflow and landing dynamics. However, there remains a dearth of well-recognised tools that can be used in routine engineering design practice because their reliability is unclear. On 8 and 9 May 2022, a virtual Class A Prediction Symposium on Debris Flow Impact Forces on Single and Dual Barriers was held to evaluate the reliability of existing design tools and identify areas for improvement to advance the current state of barrier design. The symposium was organised by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Geotechnical Engineering Office of the Civil Engineering and Development Department of the HKSAR Government. This paper summarises the existing research on flow-barrier interaction, and details of the symposium, including the prediction cases and results, roundtable discussion, and future research directions.

Vocabulary Enrichment and Student’ Communicative Competence: The Case in Task-Based Language Teaching

In order to realize and support Indonesian national educational program of MBKM, every higher educational institution is recommended and stimulated to implement learning model of task-based language teaching (TBLT). This study investigated how enriching vocabularies and giving other prompt such as driving question words effective for students’ speaking performance, such as fluency. This was a qualitatively designed study. One class semester two students majoring in civil engineering department were involved as research participants. Learning material in the form of snapshot consisting of pictures was design to bridge the students thought to the whole learning materials. Snapshot without vocabulary enrichment and driving questions was tried in the first two sessions. Discussion upon the lesson was intensively undertaken to know why students hesitated and were doubtful to speak. Observation results combined with students’ perception concluded that enrichment of vocabularies and stimulating questions were found effective to increase students’ speaking performance, learning motivation and enthusiasm. Moreover, by practicing in front of their group and by succeeding in perform such task made them more stimulated to do better. Therefor made their learning meaningful.

THE WALLED CITY OF VERONA. INTEGRATED SURVEY SYSTEMS FOR THE ENHANCEMENT AND PROMOTION OF VERONA'S CITY WALLS

Abstract. The present study concerns the digital documentation of the city wall of Verona. The "Verona Città Murata" project began in 2015 thanks to the research agreement between the Municipality of Verona (UNESCO office) and the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia. The project stems from the request to develop tools to document the site's conservation to initiate timely restoration, management, and maintenance studies. Measures for protecting, conserving, and enhancing a comprehensive and impressive cultural and natural heritage, such as the Magistral Walls and the Veronese Park, are complex and multifaceted. The multi-disciplinary aspect and the use of flexible tools to manage the information and analyses obtained during the study phase are fundamental. The research aims to optimize the fortified system's acquisition process by validating integrated survey methods and assessing point cloud data's potential, limitations, and planimetric and elevation accuracy (TLS, MLS, UAVs). On the one hand, the research products are aimed to structure a methodology of valuable representation for the documentation and diagnostic and conservative analysis of the artifact; on the other hand, they will become a helpful tool for the narrative description of Verona's fortifications to disseminate and valorize the fabric of military technology.

DIGITAL MANAGEMENT FOR THE RESTORATION PROJECT. THE CASE OF THE TEMPLE OF VENUS IN BAIA

Abstract. The work that is presented here shows the results of the survey and material characterization campaign, performed through digital information acquisition and management processes of the Temple of Venus in Baia, in the framework of the activities by the Departments of Civil, Building, and Environmental Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II, in agreement with the Archaeological Park of Campi Flegrei. The artifact stands as a deeply interesting example of an architectural palimpsest, which - despite being involved by significant structural reinforcement interventions - presents interesting technical solutions, to be further investigated in their singularity and specificity. Unfortunately, it cannot be currently visited, until the execution of works to guarantee its complete and safe accessibility, also in terms of structural safety. The use of digital methodologies for data acquisition, in the integration of range and image-based survey techniques, and their semantic de-discretization has allowed systematizing the developed knowledge into models that can be easily queried and implemented over time, where both the geometric and the information component are indispensable for orienting and elaborating a conscious and articulate restoration project, as required by this building.

Accident prevention in a highly occupied building through safety audit: a readiness perspective in university buildings

Potential accidents can occur at any time, including educational activities at a university. Twenty-four cases of accidents at universities in Indonesia, in the form of collapsing building components and fires, have been recorded in the last decade. There is a need for colleges to be ready to implement a Construction Safety Management System in the buildings where educational activities take place. There are two aspects to construction safety in public buildings: the engineering aspect and the aspect of safety management and occupational health. This research aims to assess and analyse the readiness to apply construction safety in a building with large occupancy. The research method uses a case study of a building in the civil engineering department of a university in Indonesia. Data collection comprised field surveys, semi-structured interviews and the collection of drawings and documents regarding the management of occupational safety and health in 2020-2021. The results show that the site studied was mediocre, in terms of implementing a construction safety management system. Although the physical condition of the building is good, other indicators, such as building documents and the application of occupational health and safety, fall into the ‘lack of application’ category.

The Analysis of Screws Spacing Effect On The Flexural Strength Of Laminated Wood Beams From Pine Pallets Waste

Pine pallets are often used to design the interior of houses, as opposed to pine waste, which is underutilized due to its reduced strength and limited size. Therefore, this research aims to optimize the use of pine pallet waste by making laminated beams using screw joints and determining the effect of screw spacing on the strong bending of laminated beams. Flexural strength tests of laminated wood beams measuring 5 cm x 5 cm x 76 cm with varying screw spacing of 4 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm, and 16 were used to conduct this research. This is in addition to screw length, head, and body diameters of 5 cm, 8 mm, and 4 mm, respectively. Strong bending testing was carried out at the Structural Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tidar University, Magelang. The test results of consecutive Modulus of Rupture (MOR) had average values of 20.996 MPa, 23.067 MPa, 20.207 MPa, 19.292 MPa. and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) of 1,352.68 MPa, 1,449.35 MPa, 1,146.76 MPa, and 1,128.90 MPa. The result showed that the use of varying screw spacing has no significant effect on the flexural strength of laminated beams. Furthermore, the laminated pine pallet waste with screws can be used as an alternative to pure wood by paying attention to the proper joint spacing.
