LCC analysis entails the calculation of cost over useful or projected life of an asset. However, building components and/or finishing materials do not usually complete their projected life spans. Certain types of buildings undergo renovations many times before they are declared redundant and finally torn down; hotels are a point in case. During such renovations and refurbishment works most of the finishing material is replaced by newer and more fashionable one. This study was conducted to ascertain which materials are most likely to be replaced well before their useful life ends and which are used to their full potential; the intent was also to determine the reasons for such replacements and the frequency of renovation projects. Data related to renovation projects of three five star hotels in Ankara was obtained and analysed. An insight was gained into the reasons for renovation works, and the types and amount of material replaced. A comparison was made between the actual useful lives of such materials with their projected life spans. It was concluded that finishing material and components that are used in hotel construction need not have long life spans, since they are likely to be replaced even before they start to deteriorate, or they should be recyclable. Also, conventional techniques which are designed for permanence (such as cementing, gluing or welding), should not be used for incorporating such material.

Quantiative Methodology for Determination of Cost Contingency in International Projects Sönmez, Rifat; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-01-01) This paper presents a quantitative methodology to determine financial impacts of the risk factors during the bidding stages of international construction projects. Project and country data of 26 construction projects from 21 countries were collected for evaluation of the international risk factors. The factors impacting cost contingency were identified using correlation and regression analysis techniques. The results indicated that four factors had major contributions for explaining the variations in the co...
Industry specific information content of financial ratios and financial distress modeling Sayarı, Naz; Oran, Adil; Muğan, Fatma Naciye Can; Department of Business Administration (2013) The aim of this study is to investigate uncertainty levels of industries and explore those financial ratios that have the highest information content in determining the set of industry characteristics and use the most informative ratios selected in developing industry specific financial distress models. First, we employ factor analysis to determine the set of ratios that are most informative in specified industries. Second, we use entropy method as a Multiple Attribute Decision Making Model, to measure the ...
Expected Value of Partial Perfect Information in Hybrid Models Using Dynamic Discretization Yet, Barbaros; Fenton, Norman; Neil, Martin (2018-01-01) In decision theory models, expected value of partial perfect information (EVPPI) is an important analysis technique that is used to identify the value of acquiring further information on individual variables. EVPPI can be used to prioritize the parts of a model that should be improved or identify the parts where acquiring additional data or expert knowledge is most beneficial. Calculating EVPPI of continuous variables is challenging, and several sampling and approximation techniques have been proposed. This...
Benefit-cost analysis for retrofitting of selected residental buildings in İstanbul Erdurmuş, Salih Buğra; Erant, Engin; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) During the evaluation of the seismic retrofitting option for risk reduction/mitigation measures to be applied over buildings, Benefit Cost Analysis is an often-used method. During this study of Benefit Cost Analysis, the condition that the earthquake can happen just after or sometime after retrofitting will be taken into consideration rather than some approaches that focus on the benefits and costs regarding the annual probability of the occurrence for possible earthquakes. The analysis will use conditional...
Non-linear progressive failure analysis of open-hole composite laminates under combined loading Gunel, Murat; Kayran, Altan (SAGE Publications, 2013-05-01) This article presents a finite element-based study of geometrically non-linear progressive failure analysis of open-hole composite laminates, subjected to combined in-plane and out-of-plane loading. Different ply- and constituent-based failure criteria and material property degradation schemes have been coded in Patran command language and a progressive failure analysis code is developed. Progressive failure analyses of the sample composite laminate, with an open-hole, subject to different combined loading ...
