Stakeholder’s Influence on Design-Construction Planning
Abstract: The design phase requires several interactions between the client and the architect as compared to other phases. Major decisions on the project were finalized during this design phase with the inadequate involvement of the forthcoming stakeholders—fabricators, contractors and vendors. Further, fragmentation in design and construction phase had led to redesign and rework during the construction execution. Additionally, this fragmentation had design solutions that had not involved constructability issues, which resulted …

Multi-Sensor System for Underwater Pothole Detection to Enhance Road Safety During Monsoon Seasons
Abstract: Monsoon seasons across India and similar tropical regions severely compromise road safety by causing water accumulation that conceals dangerous potholes beneath stagnant pools, leading to frequent vehicle damage, tire punctures, and fatal accidents. Traditional detection methods relying on smartphone accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors, or machine vision fail under flooded conditions due to acoustic signal reflection at water surfaces and optical distortions from glare and turbidity. This research proposes an innovative multi-sensor …

Enhancement of Flexural Strength in FDM-Printed Components through Taguchi-Based Process Parameter Optimization
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM), especially Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), has emerged as a widely adopted and versatile method for producing three-dimensional components. The process involves the deposition of a thermoplastic filament in a semi-molten state, which solidifies in successive layers to form the final structure. While this method enables the production of complex geometries at relatively low cost, the printed parts often exhibit inferior surface quality and reduced mechanical performance compared …
