Enabling reuse of prefabricated concrete components through multiple tracking technologies and digital twins
Open accessAbstract
Tracking of building components can be instrumental in reuse for a Circular Economy. Tracking technologies (TT) for building components can be used to identify and access information for decision-making from deconstruction to design for reuse. Prior research has mainly been concerned with single technologies, limited life cycle applicability and new construction. This study aims to explore the potential of combining multiple technologies, such as QR codes, NFC, and Bluetooth tags, with BIM to support reuse along the life cycles of prefabricated concrete components. The benefits and limitations of choices in TT are examined concerning information integration in circular construction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
