Abstract

Pakistan experienced one of the most severe floods recently in 2022. The post-flood eras have faced huge destruction in economic loss and infrastructure disaster. Effective infrastructure is essential in the development of a region. Pakistan is a developing country having less availability of resources and a lack of proper planning to cater to natural hazards and faces huge destruction in flood-hit areas. The reasons behind these destructions are unending, some of which have been identified through past literature. Building information modelling is thus a foundation of digital transformation in the infrastructure or architecture, engineering, and the Architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Incorporating BIM in the renovation and rebuilding of infrastructure is a prominent solution to prevent the post-flood era from devastation. This study aims to determine the barriers to the implementation of BIM. After reviewing the literature, several barriers have been identified, and 13 of them have been used in this study as strong hurdles in the implementation of BIM in the post-flood areas of Pakistan. The ISM technique (interpretive structure modelling) has been used to draw results regarding the identified barriers. The results indicated these barriers of different levels corresponding to their importance. This study is a great addition to the growing body of literature regarding flood adverse effects and a practical guideline to the AEC industry where architecture, constructors, and other experts in this field can take great assistance towards lessening and overcoming the barriers identified to implementing BIM.

Abstract

Pakistan suffered from devastating floods in 2022, causing extensive infrastructural, economic, social, and other damages. Effective risk management was notably absent in the country. Therefore, this paper identifies critical factors influencing the build-back-better (BBB) framework and resilience building. The evaluation of various strategies for risk reduction in infrastructure during floods, ensuring its resilience, is also addressed. This study employs Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques, specifically the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), to assess critical factors in BBB in the context of devastating floods. The AHP analysis effectively ranked the identified factors based on their relative weights, while DEMATEL determined the inter-relationships among the parameters, categorizing them into effect and cause groups. The results indicate that improvement in structural design is essential, whereas asset replacement is the least important factor. According to the DEMATEL analysis, Cash-for-Work was the most important causal factor in improving resilience-building procedures. The findings of this study assist policymakers in formulating a risk-resilient framework for enhancing construction strategies and developing a strong and resilient infrastructure, effectively influencing associated stakeholders.
