¡ESustainable
Construction (T2)
| ¡@ |
Major changes in the world's
environment and climate over the last few years are alarming
portents for human civilization. The concept of "sustainable
development" which emphasizes coexistence of global
development with environment and ecology, is gradually
taking hold in the field of engineering and construction
around the world. It was not discussed until the theme of
"Agenda 21" from the 1992 Earth Summit that several issues
connected with the category of construction were discussed;
these issues included sustainable use of land, residential
energy consumption, transportation problems, waste reduction
and disposal, etc. Sustainable construction addresses these
issues and can thus be defined as environmental construction
achieving sustainable coexistence with the natural
environment throughout the stages of planning, design,
construction, and operation, and stressing environmental
ethics including consumption of minimal energy and
resources, harmony with the environment, and sharing with
other generations. The group of sustainable construction
includes, but not limited to the following subtopics:
a. Waste Reduction and Recycling
b. Natural Resource Preservation
c. Green Building and Community
d. Durability and Life-Cycle Management of Infrastructure

¡Ee - Construction and Information Standards (T3)
| ¡@ |
Activities and processes in a
construction project usually generate large amounts of
engineering information among related parties (i.e., owner,
designer, contractor, constructor, government, etc.).
However, the lack of standards for engineering information
sharing among the related parties and voluminous paper-based
documents created along its delivery processes can lead to
some crucial problems during the life cycle of a
construction project. These problems include duplicated
works, missing or conflicting works, inefficient and costly
works. The concept of e-construction can be implemented into
the construction industry by integrating exchange standards
and processing tools to continuously improve productivity
and quality along life-cycle processes.
Topics in this section may be(but not limited to ):
a. Construction Life-cycle Information Management
b. Automation in Construction
c. Sharing & Exchange of Construction Information
d. e-Procurement/e-Tendering

¡EDisaster Reduction
and Recovery (T4)
| ¡@ |
Due to the global climate change
and highly urbanized development, our environment has
becoming more and more vulnerable to natural disasters in
the past decade. Natural disasters continue to strike and
increase in magnitude, complexity, and frequency. To reduce
the impact and disruption caused by natural disasters,
society must recognize the hazard risk and take
comprehensive efforts and measures in advance. We seek
contributions representing application of innovative
technology to mitigate the impact of disasters and sharing
the experience from recovery of catastrophic events. We
encourage abstracts on, but not limited to, the following
subtopics:
a. Forecasting, Monitoring, or Early Warning System
b. Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment and Vulnerability Analysis
c. Hazard Potential Mapping
d. Advanced technology for hazard mitigation
e. 5 Lessons Learned from Recovery of Extreme Events

¡EInnovative
Technology and Modern Management (T5)
| ¡@ |
In recent years, major
developments in management and technology reflect the
acceptance to various degrees of the following elements: (1)
the management process approach: emphasizing the systematic
study of management by identifying management function in an
organization; (2) the management science and decision
support approach: contributing to the development of
quantitative methods designed to aid managers in making
complex decisions related to operations and production; (3)
the current and future robot usage for construction
activities, including robotic component, site & field
application, planning, computerized management, environment
issue, disaster prevention, safety recovery, renewal, and
quick construction; (4) planning and management technology:
including construction planning and management methods ,
computerized construction, knowledge engineering and AI use,
virtual reality technology, logistics and CALS, quality and
productivity of robotized construction; (5) key technology
Innovation for construction: pre-cast and pre-fabrication
construction, sensor and image processing, end effectors
,teaching methods, remote control and autonomous distributed
control, human interface, measurement and diagnostics,
underground construction, renewable energy, and (6) high
Tech.

¡EMega Project and
International Cooperation (T6)
| ¡@ |
The current status and execution
of mega projects and its implementation problems around the
world is an issue worth much attention and discussion.
Through experience sharing and exchanging, the versatile
experiences from different countries should become valuable
knowledge to share. The sub-topics here include:
a. Social Economic Impact on Mega Project
b. PFI (Private Finance Initiative) Applications
c. Mega Construction
d. Major Hazard Recovery |
