Assessment Of Chloride Ingress Into Concrete, Mohamed Tamer Farouk Bassuoni
Assessment Of Chloride Ingress Into Concrete, Mohamed Tamer Farouk Bassuoni
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The corrosion of steel reinforcement has been a prime concern for concrete users. Chloride ingress into the concrete matrix disturbs the passive layers in the vicinity of steel, which results in corrosion initiation. Cementitious materials were successfully implemented in concrete mixtures to enhance their properties and minimize chloride permeability into concrete. Although numerous tests and techniques have been developed over the past years, reliable assessment of chlorides remains a challenging task. Th.is study aims at enhancing the understanding of techniques used for the assessment of chloride ingress and investigating potential correlation between these techniques. The study comprised eighteen mixtures made …

Construction Delays Of High Investment Projects In Egypt, Nora Mohamed El-Gohary
Archived Theses and Dissertations
In evaluating the overall performance and success of construction projects, time is usually used as a major factor in such evaluation. Unsatisfactory time performance shows up as delays. Construction delays are very critical to the owner and contractor, because they suffer due to lost profit, additional overhead costs, increased costs of financing, and payment of liquidated or actual damages. Despite that, delays in completion of projects are repetitive in the Egyptian construction industry. Current Egyptian statistics and studies did not provide sufficient information and analysis of the delay phenomenon. Studying and analyzing the problem is a step towards its solution …

Framework For Developming A Standard Construction Information Classification System For The Egyptian Construction Industry, Rehab M Anwar Wahch
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The construction industry is known to be rich with information. Yet to-date there is no available system that standardizes this inormation so that it can be used as a common system throughout the design, construction, and management of a project and supports view conversion especially when different participants in building and construction represent different disciplines, each having his own view on information. This form of information standardization is termed as "construction information classification system (CICS) ". Currently the Egyptian industry does not have an adequate standardized construction information classification system (CICS). The only available systems in use are company-specific internal …
