The field of design for dimensional coordin... Read More about Design optimisation using convex programming: Towards waste-efficient building designs.

Reusability analytics tool for end-of-life assessment of building materials in a circular economy (2018)
Journal Article
Akanbi, L., Oyedele, L., Davila Delgado, J. M., Bilal, M., Akinade, O., Ajayi, A., & Mohammed-Yakub, N. (2019). Reusability analytics tool for end-of-life assessment of building materials in a circular economy. World Journal of Science, Technology and Sustainable Development, 16(1), 40-55. https://doi.org/10.1108/WJSTSD-05-2018-0041

Purpose – In a circular economy, the goal is to keep materials values in the economy for as long as possible. For the construction industry to support the goal of the circular economy, there is the need for materials reuse. However, there is little o...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight the use of the big data technologies for health and safety risks analytics in the power infrastructure domain with large data sets of health and safety risks, which are usually sparse and noisy. Des... Read More about Big data platform for health and safety accident prediction.

Structural performance monitoring using a dynamic data-driven BIM environment (2018)
Journal Article
Davila Delgado, J. M., Butler, L., Brilakis, I., Elshafie, M., & Middleton, C. (2018). Structural performance monitoring using a dynamic data-driven BIM environment. Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 32(3), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29CP.1943-5487.0000749

Structural health monitoring data has not been fully leveraged to support asset management due to a lack of effective integration with other datasets. A Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach is presented to leverage structural monitoring data... Read More about Structural performance monitoring using a dynamic data-driven BIM environment.
