Construction Project Management
Construction Project Management deals with different facets of construction management emphasizing the basic concepts that any engineering student is supposed to know. The major principles of project management have been derived through real life case studies from the field. Simplified examples have been used to facilitate better understanding of the concepts before going into the large and complex problems. The book features computer applications (Primavera and MS Project) used to explain planning, scheduling, resource leveling, monitoring and reporting; it is highly illustrated with line dia.
VIRAT
THE GRIPPING AND ACTION-PACKED STORY OF THE BOY WHO NEVER GAVE UP! He is that exceptional teenager who returned to play an innings the day his dad passed away. He is the chubby rookie who now sets fitness goals. He is the fiery batsman and nimble fielder who always wants to win. Virat Kohli’s determination to overcome his drawbacks and shine his skills has him well on his way to becoming an all-time great in cricket. From gully cricket and junior teams to the Ranji and national squads, Virat has had more than his share of hurdles. But pressure is his middle name – and he has made performing under the toughest conditions an art with his fine strokes, his electric feet and his ginormous hunger for runs. That’s why the dashing King Kohli – captain of Team India across all formats of the game – holds many records and prestigious awards. Virat looks unstoppable in the lead-up to the top, and his tremendously inspiring story is told vividly in this book. Peppered with anecdotes and stories from his coaches, teammates and other insiders from the cricketing world, this is one life story that is a must-read for everyone who, like Virat, prizes both guts and glory.
Determinants of Construction Project Success in India
This study presents exploratory work and seeks to identify and evaluate the success and failure factors that could form a guideline for further study and to some extent help professionals to understand some critical aspects that impact project performance concerning construction in India. A total of 55 attributes affecting the performance of construction projects are analysed in terms of their level of influence on four key performance criteria – schedule, cost, quality, and no disputes – using a two-stage questionnaire survey. These attributes are then further analysed, interpreted and evaluated. Based on the critical success factors obtained from the study, a neural network model-based...
Formwork for Concrete Structures
The definitive guide to formwork design, materials, and methods--fully updated Formwork for Concrete Structures, Fourth Edition, provides current information on designing and building formwork and temporary structures during the construction process. Developed with the latest structural design recommendations by the National Design Specification (NDS 2005), the book covers recent advances in materials, money- and energy-saving strategies, safety guidelines, OSHA regulations, and dimensional tolerances. Up-to-date sample problems illustrate practical applications for calculating loads and stresses. This comprehensive manual also includes new summary tables and equations and a directory of suppliers. Formwork for Concrete Structures, Fourth Edition, covers: Economy of formwork Pressure of concrete on formwork Properties of form material Form design Shores and scaffolding Failures of formwork Forms for footings, walls, and columns Forms for beams and floor slabs Patented forms for concrete floor systems Forms for thin-shell roof slabs Forms for architectural concrete Slipforms Forms for concrete bridge decks Flying deck forms
Application of Mathematics and Optimization in Construction Project Management
This book provides a broad overview of project and project management principles, processes, and success/failure factors. It also provides a state of the art of applications of the project management concepts, especially in the field of construction projects, based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The slate of geographically and professionally diverse authors illustrates project management as a multidisciplinary undertaking that integrates renewable and non-renewable resources in a systematic process to achieve project goals. The book describes assessment based on technical and operational goals and meeting schedules and budgets.
Building a Body of Knowledge in Project Management in Developing Countries
This book aims to present a state-of-the-art account of the field of project management (PM) and present a body of knowledge (BoK)of the field for developing countries. It will discuss the current state of knowledge on project management by considering current trends and how they widen the content and scope of the field and explore the need for a special body of knowledge of project management for developing countries. It will also determine the nature of project management in developing countries, consider the contents of the field, and discuss the relationships between the new field and established bodies of knowledge. Lastly, this book will consider the future of project management in developing countries and how it might influence mainstream project management. This will be an important reference book for practitioners, students, researchers and administrators.
Employee Relations Management
Serves as a textbook for postgraduate students of human resources management and personnel management. Highlights the gradual transition of industrial relations to employee relations. This shift from conflict resolution to collaborative partnerships between the employer and the employee has been explained against the backdrop of globalization and liberalization which had a profound effect on the economy and the industry.
Halophytes and Climate Change
This book contains current knowledge and the most recent developments in the field of halophyte biology, ecology, and potential uses. Halophytes are characterized as plants that can survive and complete their life cycle in highly saline environments. This book explores the adaptive mechanisms and special features of halophytes that allow them to grow in environments that are unsuitable for conventional crops and considers their role as a source of food, fuel, fodder, fiber, essential oils, and medicines. Halophytes and Climate Change includes coverage of: - Special morphological, anatomical, and physiological features of halophytes - Ion accumulation patterns and homeostasis in halophytes - Potential use of halophytes in the remediation of saline soil - Growth and physiological response and tolerance to toxicity and drought - Mangrove ecology, physiology, and adaptation Written by a team of international authors and presented in full color, this book is an essential resource for researchers in the fields of plant physiology, ecology, soil science, environmental science, botany, and agriculture.
