Jerk as a Method of Identifying Physical Fatigue and Skill Level in Construction Work
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)Researchers have shown that physically demanding work, characterized by forceful exertions, repetition, and prolonged duration can result in fatigue. Physical fatigue has been identified as a risk factor for both acute and ... -
Measuring and Visualizing Integrated Project Interface Status
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-14)The overall goal of this thesis is to develop and validate ways to effectively measure and visualize integrated project interface status in terms of interface health, workload, and engineering progress. Collaboration, ... -
Methodology for improving the net environmental impacts of new buildings through product recovery management
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-18)Buildings contribute significantly to the global environmental load caused by human activities. There has been a growing interest in improving a building's performance over all of the life-cycle stages (production, ... -
Optimal Packing of Irregular 3D Objects For Transportation and Disposal
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-05)This research developed algorithms, platforms, and workflows that can optimize the packing of 3D irregular objects while guaranteeing an acceptable processing time for real-life problems, including but not limited to nuclear ... -
Semi-Automated Methods for Measuring Practice Conformance for Capital Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-06)The goal of this thesis is to explore semi-automated methods for measuring practice conformance for capital projects. Thorough measurement of practice conformance for capital projects typically requires manual audits. ... -
Simulation Modelling and Analysis of Impact of 3D Feedback Workflow on Prefabrication of Industrial Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-11)The construction industry has not been experiencing the same level of productivity increase as the manufacturing industry, due to their divergent production methods. While traditional construction projects are unique, ... -
Use of Kinematics to Minimize Construction Workers' Risk of Musculoskeletal Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2017-03-29)Construction work requires more repetitive and highly physical effort than, for example, office work. Despite technological advancements in construction, the human factor is still an essential part of the industry. Hence, ... -
Valuation of in-situ Building Materials for Resource Recovery
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-08)The construction industry is among the largest contributors to global raw material consumption and is responsible for 40% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Recovery of building materials at the end of a building's life, ...
