Application and Management of Intelligent Systems in Construction Projects Using Recycled Materials

Abstract

Currently, worldwide, modern construction technologies have emerged as one of the most important factors driving transformation and progress in the construction industry. These technologies can serve as cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional building materials. Building Information Modeling (BIM), intelligent systems, and the recycling of construction materials in the city of Qods have been recognized as advanced and innovative technologies in the construction sector. In the future, this system will continue to evolve and develop in response to technological advancements and the dynamic needs of the construction industry. Through intelligent system implementation, project managers and technical teams can address conflicts and technical issues while enhancing the quality and productivity of projects. This technology is also considered a valuable tool for promoting cultural acceptance in construction projects. Overall, BIM, as a powerful technological tool, can contribute to solving common challenges in civil engineering projects. It helps improve the management, quality, and efficiency of such projects while preventing potential interferences and technical complications. In this study, in order to examine the application and management of intelligent systems in the construction of civil projects using recycled materials in the city of Qods, 11 experts were selected. Using a pairwise comparison questionnaire, the identified factors and subgroups were prioritized through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on the results obtained, “maintenance and repair” was recognized as one of the most important sub-criteria. Subsequently, “precise and transparent design modeling” was identified as the second most significant sub-criterion, followed by “appropriate scheduling.” Furthermore, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was employed to prioritize the implementation tools. According to this analysis, Asta Powerproject software was identified as the top-priority tool for BIM implementation in construction projects utilizing recycled materials in Qods.
