The traditional equipment requires an operator to manually place loads and read values of a vertical displacement. The traditional Oedometer was improved in two parts namely self-adjusted loading and automatically record vertical displacement value. The applied load of the developed equipment was generated from pressure that was supplied by a pneumatic system. The pressure of an air-compressor was controlled by the electro-pneumatic regulator and changed to load via air-cylinder equipment. The load cell transducer was used to measure the applied load value of the developed equipment. The vertical displacement of soil sample was measured by linear variable displacement transformer (LVDT) transducer. This developed equipment was controlled by a particular software application that was written in Visual Basic computer program language. The controlling program was used to adjust the value of applied ...

This study focuses on a comparison of rebar quantities that are obtained from a traditional method and BIM software. Two case studies of extracting rebar from the footing component of building projects were explored. The traditional method was performed by manually counting and measuring the rebar quantities from the AutoCAD file while the BIM-based method was used Revit 2016 (student version) to model and extract rebar quantities. The result shows that the rebar quantities from the traditional method are 17.76% more than the BIM-based method. Furthermore, the integer programming technique was applied on optimization problems, which were formed from a bar cut list data, to obtain the exact number of the rebar. The finding shows that the exact quantities from the traditional method are 20.29% greater than the exact quantities while the rebar quantities from the BIM-...
