RELATIVE IMPORTANCE INDEX : HELP TO IDENTIFY FACTORS DURING PRECAST GIRDER ERECTION PROCESSBy Hardik J. Jethwa, J. R. Pitroda, C. S. Raichura, Nikhil Poriya
Abstract: The research analyzes the precast girder erection process, which is an integral part of bridge and elevated structure construction. It discusses the most major factors of risk towards efficiency and safety. A qualitative approach was used to analyze the erection schedule and the erection sequencing, and the Relative Importance Index (RII) and Frequency Index (FI) were used to determine the Severity Index (SI) of the risk factors. Primary risks were …

Multiple Regression Analysis of Compressive, Flexural, and Split Tensile Strength in M40 Grade ConcreteBy M.M Chokhawala, Jaydeep J. Chavda, J. R. Pitroda, Indrajit N. Patel, Chirag Patel
Abstract: Concrete plays a key role as a construction material across the globe. The strength parameters of the concrete are primary reason for which it is designed for. The design mixed concrete has multiple strength parameters like compressive strength, spilt tensile strength, flexural (bending) strength etc. For each newly design mixed concrete, the mentioned strength parameters are tested for various time duration like 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 28 days …

Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in IGBC Certified Green Building Project: Transforming Construction SustainabilityBy Pratik Bhavsar, J. R. Pitroda, Reshma L. Patel, Raj Modi
Abstract: Abstract Construction industry sustainability goals can be achieved through implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM), which simultaneously contribute to Lifecycle Cost Assessments of building projects. BIM’s integrated approach to design, construction, and facility management contributes to more sustainable building practices by enabling better decision-making throughout a project’s lifecycle. Design IGBC certified green building project with the help of BIM to analyse key aspects of sustainable development, including energy efficiency, water …
