Chunhui Yang, Jiahua Peng — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:15:01 +0800

This paper discusses the digital application of building information model (BIM) technology in the architectural design stage. Taking the large-scale comprehensive development project of Guangxi headquarters base as an example, this paper analyzes in detail how BIM technology promotes the intelligence and refinement of the design process. Through the three-dimensional modeling and simulation analysis of BIM technology, the project design has realized the accurate transformation from concept to operation, which not only improves the design efficiency, but also ensures the construction quality and economic benefits. This paper focuses on the application of BIM in the digital design of building structure, the deepening design of steel nodes, as well as the remarkable results in the comprehensive layout optimization of mechanical and electrical pipelines. Through the collision detection and optimization design of the BIM model, the potential design conflicts and construction problems were found and solved at the initial stage of the project, ensuring the efficient promotion and smooth implementation of the project. The research results show that BIM technology, as the core digital tool in the architectural design stage, is of great significance for improving the overall design level of the construction industry and realizing intelligent construction.

Dan Zhang, Meng Wu, Jiashuo Zhao, Jie Di — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800

In recent years, China’s landscaping projects have developed vigorously, and the growth rate of urban garden green space areas has been maintained at about 5%. Overall, with the development of the national economy and the support of macro policies, people’s demand for close to nature and beautify the environment is gradually increasing, which has brought new growth momentum for the development of the landscaping industry. Simultaneously, from the perspective of future economic development and urban development, the landscaping industry still has a lot of room for development. However, with the rapid development of landscape engineering, the problem of cost control of landscape engineering is becoming more prominent, the phenomenon of budget overestimation is common, and there are many factors affecting the cost of landscape engineering, which brings difficulties and challenges to the analysis of its influencing factors and cost management. How to scientifically analyze the influencing factors and control the cost has become an important link in the landscaping project. To solve the above problems, this paper takes the design stage of landscaping engineering as the background, takes the design estimate of landscaping engineering as the research object, through literature research and data collection, fully excavates the main influencing factors of the design estimate stage of landscaping engineering, analyzes the key points of cost control, and provides reference ideas and directions for the later cost management and control.

Comparative Analysis of Differences among Northern, Jiangnan, and Lingnan Classical Private Gardens Using Principal Component Cluster Method

Lijuan Sun, Hui Wang — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:29:00 +0800

This paper investigates the design essence of Chinese classical private gardens, integrating their design elements and fundamental principles. It systematically analyzes the unique characteristics and differences among classical private gardens in the Northern, Jiangnan, and Lingnan regions. The study examines nine classical private gardens from Northern China, Jiangnan, and Lingnan by utilizing the advanced tool of principal component cluster analysis. Based on literature analysis and field research, 273 variables were selected for principal component analysis, from which four components with higher contribution rates were chosen for further study. Subsequently, we employed clustering analysis techniques to compare the differences among the three types of gardens. The results reveal that the first principal component effectively highlights the differences between Jiangnan and Lingnan private gardens. The second principal component serves as the key to defining the types of Northern private gardens and distinguishing them from the other two types, and the third principal component indicates that Lingnan private gardens can be categorized into two distinct types as well.

Analysis of the Current Situation of Cost Management and Control of Highway Construction Projects

Pei Liu — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:34:32 +0800

The highway engineering process is complex, coupled with a relatively long construction period, hence requires increased coordination between participating units to prevent economic disputes and efficiency losses. The main body of the construction project needs to strengthen the management and control of funds. In this regard, this paper analyzes the importance of cost management in highway projects by clarifying and analyzing the current cost management status quo problems and causes. The highway engineering cost control strategy and implementation methods are summarized to provide references for improving the quality of highway engineering.

Research on the Dual Carbon Talent Training Model for the Construction Engineering Technology Major in Higher Vocational Education

Fang Zhou, Jingjing Sun, Qianxiu Zou — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:25:43 +0800

Against the backdrop of global climate change and China’s “dual carbon” goals, the green transformation of the construction industry is imperative, and completing the transformation requires many dual carbon talents to support it. This article focuses on the construction engineering technology major in higher vocational education. It explores in depth the specific requirements for construction engineering technology talents in terms of professional knowledge, vocational skills, and literacy under the dual carbon mode. Based on this, corresponding dual carbon talent training courses are proposed, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for cultivating high-quality dual carbon talents that meet the needs of the new era.

Development of Sustainable Urban-Rural Integration: Dongtan Case Study

Ningbin Ji — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 14:24:55 +0800

The environmental impact issues, such as global warming and expansion of the urban zone, seem more serious and have become the biggest defining challenges of the 21st century. Climate change can lead to water shortages, desertification, land degradation, air pollution, rising sea levels, accelerated deforestation, and exacerbated economic pressures. Global urban growth greatly impacts changes in sociability, humanity, and the environment of the Earth. The human presence, especially in cities, seriously affects resource use and waste disposal, and they are consuming natural resources faster than the planet can sustain during urbanization, changing how people live. China, with a population of 1.3 billion, has seen tens of millions of people living in the countryside migrate to cities, especially megacities, since the 1980s. As a result of its decision to industrialize and urbanize to boost the economy, China has become the world’s second-largest consumer of energy. In recent years, China’s government has quickly recognized the lessons of “limits to growth” and has taken action by initiating the construction process in Dongtan, Shanghai, China. They are making efforts to build urban-rural integration communities to promote sustainable development. Based on a literature review focusing on Dongtan, research questions are raised according to the research objective: (1) What are the challenges of sustainable development in urban-rural integration? (2) What practices has Dongtan implemented for sustainable development, or how is sustainable development being applied to Dongtan? (3) What are the social, political, environmental, and economic concerns regarding the sustainable development of Dongtan? The sustainable urban-rural integration concerns the ecological, economic, environmental, and psychological aspects of urban-rural integration design and management. The overall objective is to promote sustainable development in economic, social, ecological, and spatial dimensions. It will be a liveable, complete community that makes economic, environmental, and social sense locally while also contributing to national and global sustainable development. It will serve as a compelling model for how to build sustainable urban-rural integration worldwide.
