Modeling the Relationship of Construction Safety Plan and Work Breakdown Structures with Protecting Property Safety of Precast Heritage Buildings

Abstract

The rapid urbanization of cities has increased the demand for multi-functional infrastructures, often leading to modifications of heritage buildings. The construction of parking structures atop these buildings, while addressing urban parking shortages, poses significant risks to their structural integrity. This study focuses on protecting the safety of precast heritage buildings during such construction projects by integrating a Construction Safety Plan (CSP) with a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). By combining safety protocols and project management tools, the research introduces a comprehensive model aimed at minimizing the risks associated with construction-induced damages. The study employs a combination of archive analysis, surveys, and case studies, validated through expert consensus using the Delphi method. Results from multiple regression analysis indicate a significant positive relationship between CSP (X1), WBS (X2), and the protection of heritage building properties (Y). The findings suggest that implementing these models significantly enhances the safety of heritage properties, underlining the importance of systematic safety planning and construction management for preserving cultural heritage. Future research should explore the application of this model to various construction projects to further improve heritage preservation strategies.
