Abstract/ Synopsis

In this lecture, the audience is introduced to the world of very big floating structures that have been gradually

appearing in the waters off developed coastal cities and countries with long coastlines. Their presence is largely due

to a severe shortage of land and the sky-rocketing land costs in recent times. After providing a description of very

big floating structures and highlighting their advantages over the traditional land reclamation in creating space from

the sea, present and future applications of big floating structures will be presented. The input design data,

hydroelastic analysis and design considerations for big floating structures are discussed. Also presented are the

research studies conducted in NUS on the mitigation of the hydroelastic response of big floating structures under

wave action.

Abstract/ Synopsis

This presentation will highlight the design and construction of the Marina Bay Cruise Centre located at Marina

Coastal Drive, Singapore.

The presentation will cover the design considerations and challenges encountered in the of the cruise centre

development including the related buildings and infrastructural works. The infrastructural works for this

development includes land reclamation, marine dredging, soil improvement, seawall, marine decks and current

Ltd on major infrastructure projects both locally and overseas.

Abstract/ Synopsis

In October 1999, the Prime Minister of Vietnam had approved the Master Plan for Vietnam Sea Port System till

2020. In July 2009, the Master Plan had been orientated for 2030 and six Port Groups had been planned. In this

paper, the port development in the Southern Vietnam under Port Group 5 would be shared. Special mention would

be along the Cai Mep – Thi Vai region, particularly where SPPSA International Port was developed. The challenges

encountered during the port development in this region would also be discussed.

Paper 4: Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Civil Engineering

Projects

By Prof. Dr. David Chua Kim Huat

National University of Singapore, Singapore

Associate Professor

A/P DAVID CHUA KIM HUAT graduated from Adelaide University with BEng (1st class) in 1980 on a Colombo Plan Scholarship. In 1982 he joined the National University of Singapore as a Senior Tutor where he obtained his MEng based on his studies on vibration propagation from mass rapid transit trains in 1986. Then in 1985 he was awarded an NUS-Overseas Graduate Scholarship to study at the University of California, Berkeley. Where he was there, he obtained his MSc in 1986 and subsequently completed his PhD dissertation on a network pavement management system using reliability-based mechanistic pavement distress models in 1989 under the supervision of Professors K.C. Crandall and C.L. Monismith.

Upon his return he continued his research in areas relating to transportation and construction management with emphasis on lean construction, information technology applications, systems modelling and risk management. He also continues with his interest in his earlier work on train track vibration analysis, control and monitoring. He has also been involved in many consulting projects for the Mass Rapid Transit Corporation of Singapore, the Land Transport Authority, the Maritime Port Authority, Chartered Systems Manufacturing and other companies and joint ventures.

the above subjects.

Abstract/ Synopsis

The Seminar Paper is the updated version of a short article namely “Seaport Development in Singapore – The Past,

Present and Future” published in “The Structuralist’ on 2 May 2011. Emphasis for the presentation is on the ideas

of possible future offshore satellite towns to be built in the huge sea water-excluding structure, i.e. 2,000m diameter

cofferdam, for example. Alternatively, the commercial complexes, tall buildings and other structures of the

proposed offshore satellite towns may be constructed directly on the seabed by using high capacity and durable piles

or founding the basement floors directly on the bedrock in the seabed with sea water-excluding walls for basements.
