At present, China's railway construction is mostly the construction of long-span continuous beam or multi span railway business line. The railway construction of multi span passenger overpass beam needs very complicated construction procedures, which is easy to produce large safety risks in the process of cast-in-place beam. Therefore, during the construction of multi span passenger overpass continuous beam railway business line, constructors must adopt various safety protection measures such as covering, isolation and reinforcement, avoid high-risk points to the greatest extent, fully understand the actual situation of construction, and select and apply appropriate construction scheme, so as to improve the quality and safety of railway construction. Based on this, this paper makes an in-depth analysis on the safety protection measures for the construction of multi span passenger overpass railway business line, and puts forward relevant suggestions on the safety management and implementation cases of the construction of additional passenger overpass in high-speed railway operation stations. The new overpass across multiple railway tracks and multiple passenger platforms at the high-speed railway station in operation has great safety risks to the high-speed trains, existing railway equipment, facilities, passengers and pedestrians. The safety monitoring, inspection contents and methods formulated according to the risk situation have a certain reference value for the bridge construction across the existing railway.展开更多

With the application of new technology and equipment, the efficiency and quality of construction projects have been significantly improved. Among them, the waterproof part of the building construction often has a direct impact on the overall stability and quality of the building, so it has always been a widely concerned construction content. Therefore, starting from the main causes of leakage in construction engineering, some key technical problems existing in construction engineering are discussed in depth. Include underground waterproof system, concrete proportion, concrete quality, underground waterproof detail structure and coiled material waterproof layer technology, and later maintenance management, hoping to further improve the waterproof construction level of housing construction projects in China.展开更多

Traditional tools such as Gantt charts, CPM, and PERT often overlook uncertainties. This study identifies 20 complexity factors through expert interviews and literature, categorising them into six groups. The Analytical Hierarchy Process evaluated the significance of different factors, establishing their corresponding weights to enhance adaptive project scheduling. A system dynamics (SD) model is developed and tested to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of identified complexity factors. The model simulates the impact of complexity on total project duration (TPD), revealing significant deviations from initial deterministic estimates. Data collection and analysis for reliability tests, including normality and Cronbach alpha, to validate the model’s components and expert feedback. Sensitivity analysis confirmed a positive relationship between complexity and project duration, with higher complexity levels resulting in increased TPD. This relationship highlights the inadequacy of static planning approaches and underscores the importance of addressing complexity dynamically. The study provides a framework for enhancing planning systems through system dynamics and recommends expanding the model to ensure broader applicability in diverse construction projects.展开更多

This study identifies 20 complexity factors through expert interviews and literature, categorising them into six groups. The Analytical Hierarchy Process evaluated the significance of different factors, establishing their corresponding weights to enhance adaptive project scheduling. A system dynamics (SD) model is developed and tested to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of identified complexity factors. The model simulates the impact of complexity on total project duration (TPD), revealing significant deviations from initial deterministic estimates. Data collection and analysis for reliability tests, including normality and Cronbach alpha, to validate the model’s components and expert feedback. Sensitivity analysis confirmed a positive relationship between complexity and project duration, with higher complexity levels resulting in increased TPD. This relationship highlights the inadequacy of static planning approaches and underscores the importance of addressing complexity dynamically. The study provides a framework for enhancing planning systems through system dynamics and recommends expanding the model to ensure broader applicability in diverse construction projects.
文摘In the process of the continuous development of construction engineering, construction technology has also made continuous progress. For our country, the geological situation is relatively complex, and the requirements for housing construction are relatively high, which requires that we pay attention to the optimization and application of construction technology in the construction of construction engineering, and constantly improve the management effect of construction site, so as to improve the quality of housing construction.

文摘During the critical transformation period of landscape architecture major after the adjustment of disciplinary structure and the changes in market demand,private colleges and universities,as important places for cultivating local talents,have pain points such as uneven quality of teachers and students and weak innovation and practice.The practice system with“multi-dimensional Integration”integrates four dimensions:interdisciplinary integration,spatial and temporal intersection,historical inheritance,and behavioral activity,deepens the disciplinary connotation,and integrates the three elements of nature,humanity,and technology,aiming to provide a new path for private colleges and universities to cultivate application-oriented and compound talents with innovative capabilities.In terms of optimizing talent cultivation and adapting to industry changes,this system provides thinking and reference for landscape architecture major,helping the major reshape its core competitiveness and promoting educational innovation and industry development.
