Journal of Smart Buildings and Construction Technology (-formerly Journal of Construction Resear ) chaims to promote the latest in smart buildings research. By providing a direction for the optimal amalgamation of Sustainable Construction and Big Data for Construction, the Journal presents a multifaceted approach to smart construction research.

Relevant topics to the Journal of Smart Buildings and Construction Technology  include, but are not limited to:

  • Big Data for Construction
  • Building and Construction
  • Building and Infrastructure
  • Construction Informatics (building information modelling, information communication technology)
  • Construction Management
  • Sustainable Construction (carbon emission, energy saving, green building, waste management)
  • Smart building modelling techniques

    In the literature that follows the history and theory of architecture,architecture is mainly studied from the aspect of disposition, constructionand materialization “in itself”, sporadically establishing the “originality”(first appearance) of certain dimensions of architectural solutions andtheir connection with solutions from previous historical epochs. The titleof this work (Network of Architectural Paths) suggests the simultaneousuniqueness (authenticity) of...

  • A Model for Predicting Construction Worker Fatigue

    Fatigue impairs workers’ judgment, reduces their productivity, and jeopardizes their safety. The paper presents a tool to predict workers’ fatiguebased on their vital signs. An experimental study was conducted in whichthe heart rate and sleep quality for three individuals were monitored usingfitness trackers (wearable sensors). The data collected were used to developtwo models based on...

  • Control of Progressive Collapse of the Structure Using Shear Wall

    The vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) building systems to progressive collapse has turned out to be a challenging trouble for professionalstructural engineers so as to prevent total failure on account of nearby damage. The goal of this paper is to enhance the knowledge of such buildings’behavior underneath several scenarios of misplaced columns at differentfloor stages,...

    Students of the Faculty of Architecture in Sarajevo, through the courseArchitecture of the Old Age, were able to get acquainted with “architecturecarved in rock”, and only a very limited number of examples - the architecture of ancient Egypt, ancient Greek architecture in Asia Minor (Lycia),and the architecture of ancient Persia. Many examples of this architecturalexpression...
