Abstract:

The interface problems are usually not resolved or even detected until the construction activities proceed to their execution stage. Some interface problems may be resolved by just rearranging the locations of work elements, some may degrade the designed function of elements, and others may not be resolvable. To overcome the difficulty of discovering and communicating the interface problems, this paper proposes a Construction Interface Automated Representation (CIAR) system. The CIAR system defines the interface elements, links, interactions, and notions of interface problems, and graphically integrates them into the construction schedule network. Also, the computation strategies of implementing the CIAR system are provided.

Keywords: interface elements, interface links, interactions, construction schedules
