The purpose of this paper is to analyse the opportunities and obstacles to implementing BIM for prefabrication. Among all other advantages of BIM, prefabrication is chosen for this paper because it plays a vital role in creating an impact on the time and cost factors of a construction project. The project stakeholders and participants can explicitly observe the positive impact of prefabrication, which enables the breakthrough of the scepticism factor among the small-scale construction companies. The analysis consists of the development of a process workflow for implementing prefabrication in building construction followed by a practical approach, which was executed with two case studies. It was planned in such a way that, the first case study gives a first-hand experience for the workers at the site on the BIM model so that they can make much use of the created BIM model, which is a better representation compared to the traditional 2D plan. The main aim of the first case study is to create a belief in the implementation of BIM Models, which was succeeded by the execution of offshore prefabrication in the second case study. Based on the case studies, the time analysis was made and it is inferred that the implementation of BIM for prefabrication can reduce construction time, ensures minimal wastes, better accuracy, less problem-solving at the construction site. It was observed that this process requires more planning time, better communication between different disciplines, which was the major obstacle for successful implementation. This paper was carried out from the perspective of small and medium-sized mechanical contracting companies for the private building sector in Germany.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RingbeckSchwarteBuxbaumetal.2001, author = {Ringbeck, Thorsten and Schwarte, Rudolf and Buxbaum, Bernd and Hess, Rudolf}, title = {Optical GMSK modem for infrared wireless communication based on a new receiver principle in CMOS technology}, series = {Optoelectronic interconnects VIII : 25 - 26 January 2001, San Jose, USA. - (Proceedings of SPIE ; 4292)}, booktitle = {Optoelectronic interconnects VIII : 25 - 26 January 2001, San Jose, USA. - (Proceedings of SPIE ; 4292)}, editor = {Tang, Suning}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-3970-3}, issn = {0038-7355}, pages = {25 -- 34}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HoffschmidtTelleSauerbornetal.2011, author = {Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Telle, R. and Sauerborn, Markus and Wagner, M.}, title = {Optical measurement system for high temperature absorbers}, series = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2011 : concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems : 20 - 23 September, 2011, Granada, Spain}, address = {Granada}, pages = {1 CD-ROM}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DachwaldMengaliQuartaetal.2007, author = {Dachwald, Bernd and Mengali, Giovanni and Quarta, Alessandro A and Macdonald, Malcolm and McInnes, Colin R}, title = {Optical solar sail degradation modelling}, series = {1st International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, booktitle = {1st International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, pages = {1 -- 27}, year = {2007}, abstract = {We propose a simple parametric OSSD model that describes the variation of the sail film's optical coefficients with time, depending on the sail film's environmental history, i.e., the radiation dose.

The prime objective is to find the optimal steering strategy for a photonic sail to get captured around one of the stars after a minimum-time transfer from Earth. By extending the idea of the Breakthrough Starshot project with a deceleration phase upon arrival, the mission's scientific yield will be increased. As a secondary objective, transfer trajectories between the stars and orbit-raising manoeuvres to explore the habitable zones of the stars are investigated. All trajectories are optimised for minimum time of flight using the trajectory optimisation software InTrance. Depending on the sail technology, interstellar travel times of 77.6-18,790 years can be achieved, which presents an average improvement of 30\% with respect to previous work. Still, significant technological development is required to reach and be captured in the Alpha-Centauri system in less than a century. Therefore, a fly-through mission arguably remains the only option for a first exploratory mission to Alpha Centauri, but the enticing results obtained in this work provide perspective for future long-residence missions to our closest neighbouring star system.}, language = {en} }
