BeReal : tools and methods for implementing benefits realisation and management (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Yates, K., Sapountzis, S., Lou, E., & Kagioglou, M. (2009, June). BeReal : tools and methods for implementing benefits realisation and management. Presented at 5th Nordic Conference on Construction Economics and Organisation, Reykjavik University, Iceland

The need to identify, monitor and manage benefits throughout a programme/projects lifecycle is being accepted as a way to ensure the success of that programme or project. Major capital investment programs and projects within both the private and publ... Read More about BeReal : tools and methods for implementing benefits realisation and management.

Measurement and characterisation of faults in the intake system of a turbocharged engine using a directional acoustic probe (2009)
Presentation / Conference
probe. Presented at COMADEM 2009, San Sebastian, Spain

Engine intake system leaks are a primary reason behind unsatisfactory operational and emission characteristics of turbocharged engines. In faulty conditions, the intake mass flow sensed by the mass flow sensor does not reach the combustion chamber, r...

Improving integration in construction industry through knowledge management in relational contracting setting: A critical success factors approach (2009)
Presentation / Conference
A critical success factors approach. Presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference (SPARC), University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Construction is a project-based industry and generally it works with a unique product in every project. Generally, repeated project organisations are reconfigured for each project. This means that construction supply chains are characterised by adver...

Towards implementation of building information modelling in the construction industry (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Arayici, Y., Khosrowshahi, F., Ponting, A., & Mihindu, S. (2009, May). Towards implementation of building information modelling in the construction industry. Presented at Fifth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century (CITC-V) “Collaboration and Integration in Engineering, Management and Technology”, Istanbul, Turkey

The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications. It is advocated that most of them can b... Read More about Towards implementation of building information modelling in the construction industry.

Subjective validity of figures of merit for room aspect ratio design (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Wankling, M., & Fazenda, B. (2009, May). Subjective validity of figures of merit for room aspect ratio design. Presented at 126th Audio Engineering Society Convention, Munich

Attempts have long been made to classify a room's low frequency audio reproduction capability with regards to its aspect ratio. Common metrics used have relied on the homogeneous distribution of modal frequencies and from these a number of 'optimal'...

Examining and improving the limitations of Gazis–Herman –Rothery car following model (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Jameel, H. (2009, May). Examining and improving the limitations of Gazis–Herman –Rothery car following model. Presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference, The University of Salford, Salford, United Kingdom

Simulation models are effective tools to solve traffic problems because of their feasibility to represent the most complex situations. Different car-following models have been used to simulate traffic movements. The car-following model known as Gaz...

Calibration of visual angle car following model based on real site traffic data (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Obaedi, J. (2009, May). Calibration of visual angle car following model based on real site traffic data. Presented at Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference, The University of Salford, Salford, United Kingdom

Traffic simulation models have increasingly been used due to low cost, time saving and ability to examine possible solutions for traffic-related problems without interrupting the real life traffic conditions during testing alternative scenarios. Rec... Read More about Calibration of visual angle car following model based on real site traffic data.
