Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) consists of a way to obtain costs during the construction, maintenance, use and operation, and building disposal phases. It aims at better decision-making concerning the allocation of financial resources and analysis of the point of environmental view. Although created a few decades ago, LCCA still does not represent a consolidated decision support way in the building management ...
Health and Safety (H&S) should be a significant concern in construction projects. The quantification of the work injury accidents started with work A. W. Heinrich (1931), passing per Frank E. Bird Jr. (1969) to a study by ConocoPhillips Marine (2003). These theories, also known as the Accident triangle, Heinrich's triangle, or Bird's triangle, are a base for industrial accident prevention applied in practice by...
Nowadays, the construction industry's digital transformation processes are challenging civil engineering education. In general, students and society underestimate the civil engineering field as an outdated and archaic knowledge area. Despite the defragmentation and heterogeneity of the sector, advances have been made on the path for Construction 4.0 and 5.0 scenarios. From this perspective, the CONSTRUCT-Gequal...
