Designing and building large projects for the oil and gas industry requires extensive cooperation and coordination between the engineering, procurement, and implementation phases. In this research, to achieve a level of performance improvement in the project, we need a process called buildability, so to achieve this, we need to implement this process in large projects such as EPC in the oil and gas industry. In this study, we describe the principles of buildability as well as the conditions that limit the ability to build in the eyes of experts.

Today, material pickup and delivery is the most important process for inventory planning of manufactures. Human operators usually schedule resources for pickup and delivery that it needs high cost and time and mistake decision cause to tiredness and pressure work. This problem is more acute for the steel industry. Therefore, using of an efficient expert system based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) could eliminate limitations of human planner that it has not applied for inventory planning in steel industry yet. In order to imbed a learnable model from decision patterns of human planners in steel industry, we propose an automated planner for pickup and delivery in raw/semi products of steelmaking based on Relief Bayesian Network (RBN). The proposed approach is applied for Mobarakeh steel company that results show the proposed approach decides as same as human planner for inventory.

The economic environment has altered due to globalisation. It establishes new links across national economies and denationalises access to data, technology, expertise, markets, and inancial resources. A national sector or economy now has two distinct ways to compete in global markets: By developing more advanced technology, which may or may not be introduced irst in niche markets and by implementing costcutting strategies that entail increased economies of scale, the elimination of labour and frequently ignoring health, safety and environmental risks. Others have warned about a "race to the bottom" and an ever-increasing desire to trade on environmental (and labour) externalities, while some have claimed that globalisation also raises the need for stronger protective environmental and labour policies globally

This paper proposes the design of a scheme for a long span simple-supported arch bridge and its bracket. The design scheme is based on engineering examples and an actual engineering situation. In order to understand the design of the bracket of the long span simple-supported arch bridge, the feasibility of this design applied to construction is determined. MIDAS-Civil inite element software is used to establish the calculation model of a 144 m simply supported arch bridge bracket. After checking the stress and de lection of the bracket, the bracket system meets the strength and stiffness requirements of the standard design. The design scheme of long-span simple-supported arch bridge and its bracket proposed in this paper can provide references for similar projects.

The construction industry plays a significant role in global carbon emissions, prompting the need for sustainable practices and carbon neutrality. Steel, a commonly used construction material, has gained attention due to its environmental impact. This article explores the concept of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its role in achieving carbon neutrality in steel structures. LCA evaluates the environmental impacts of a product or system throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. By analyzing the embodied carbon emissions in steel production, transportation, fabrication, construction, maintenance and eventual dismantling, LCA provides insights into the overall environmental footprint of steel structures. Moreover, strategies for achieving carbon neutrality, such as using recycled steel, optimizing structural design and implementing renewable energy sources in production, are discussed. The article emphasizes the importance of collaboration among stakeholders, including designers, manufacturers and policymakers, to drive the adoption of sustainable practices in the construction industry.

The construction industry plays a significant role in global resource consumption and environmental impact, with building materials such as steel contributing to substantial carbon emissions. To address this challenge, steel retrofitting has emerged as a sustainable solution to extend the lifespan of existing structures, reduce the need for new steel production and minimize the overall environmental footprint. This article explores the economics and sustainability aspects of steel retrofitting, considering its potential to mitigate carbon emissions, conserve resources and contribute to a more circular economy. By analyzing the environmental benefits, economic viability and technological advancements in steel retrofitting, this article underscores the importance of adopting retrofitting strategies in the construction industry to promote both environmental stewardship and economic growth.

Fatigue failure is a critical concern in engineering design, particularly in industries where materials are subjected to cyclic loading and unloading. Steel, being one of the most commonly used structural materials, experiences fatigue over time due to repeated stress cycles. Understanding and predicting the fatigue behavior of steel is of utmost importance for ensuring the reliability and safety of various structures. Traditional fatigue testing methods are time-consuming and costly, prompting the development of computational techniques to expedite the design process. Multiscale modeling has emerged as a powerful tool to simulate and predict the fatigue behavior of steel across different length scales, from the atomic level to the macroscopic structure.

In the realm of structural engineering, the quest for efficiency and cost-effectiveness in steel structures has led to the development of advanced computational techniques. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) stands out as a powerful tool for optimizing steel structural systems. This article explores how FEA plays a pivotal role in enhancing the design, performance and sustainability of steel structures. By analyzing the behavior of steel components under various loads and conditions, FEA aids engineers in making informed decisions that lead to structurally robust and economically viable solutions. The integration of FEA into the design process enables the exploration of diverse design alternatives, facilitating the identification of optimal configurations. Moreover, FEA assists in evaluating the safety and reliability of steel structures, thus ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
