Civil Engineering Faculty Publications
Modern highway construction frequently requires bridges with horizontally curved alignments. Such bridges can be created by superimposing a curved deck slab onto straight girders or by splicing segmental straight girders on the chords of a curved roadway. Of these two methods, a curved superstructure usually results in simpler construction and better appearance.
The Study Of Superintendent Training And Its Effects On Homebuilding Cycle Time, John Wesley Burk
The Study Of Superintendent Training And Its Effects On Homebuilding Cycle Time, John Wesley Burk
Theses and Dissertations
This study was conducted to determine how much time would be saved in the homebuilding cycle when field superintendents received training. The study took place during the 2007 calendar year with a production homebuilder in southern Nevada. New technologies and techniques were introduced during weekly training meetings that were held at both the corporate office and construction job sites. A scheduling tool was introduced along with new procedures and policies. The superintendents were required to report daily on the tasks that had been completed. This gave the superintendent and upper management the ability to follow the home throughout the building …

Implementing Ecommerce In The Irish Construction Industry, Alan V. Hore, Roger West
Implementing Ecommerce In The Irish Construction Industry, Alan V. Hore, Roger West
Conference papers
The current methods of ordering, delivering and invoicing of materials in the construction in-dustry is enormously inefficient, with vast quantities of paperwork, duplication of effort, scanning, re-keying and resolving mismatches between invoices, delivery dockets and purchase orders. The objective of this pa-per is to set out the progress that is being made by the Construction IT Alliance (CITA) in Ireland to support the implementation of eCommerce in the Irish construction industry. The authors will present the result of a pilot project in 2006 which demonstrated that the technology necessary for implementing an electronic supply chain exists and could be deployed …
Proposal For A Construction Industry Digital Competency Centre For Ireland, Alan V. Hore
Proposal For A Construction Industry Digital Competency Centre For Ireland, Alan V. Hore
Conference papers
The Irish construction industry is facing a series of fundamental challenges that is affecting every player in the AEC lifecycle from architects to owners to tenants. Despite technology advances in recent years, the Irish construction industry lags behind other industries in respect to Information Communications Technology (ICT) investments. Despite a pressing need for innovation, procurement and tendering procedures in Ireland largely discourages new ideas and puts further pressure on wafer-thin margins that characterise the construction sector. This paper will reflect on the deliverables of the Construction Information Technology Alliance (CITA) in Ireland, which was formed in partnership between the Technological …
Formal Security Definition And Efficient Construction For Roaming With A Privacy-Preserving Extension, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Formal Security Definition And Efficient Construction For Roaming With A Privacy-Preserving Extension, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Xiaotie Deng
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
In a secure roaming scenario, a user U travels to a foreign network and communicates with a foreign server V securely so that no one other than U and V can obtain the messages exchanged between them. U may also want to travel anonymously so that no one including V can find out its identity or trace its whereabouts except its home server H. There have been many key establishment protocols proposed for secure roaming. A typical application of these protocols is the mobile roaming service which may be deployed to interconnected WLAN and 3G networks. Despite the importance of …

Spotlight On Construction: Expansion And Renovation Of Georgia Southern University’S Henderson Library Spurred By Quintupling Of Student Body, Ann Hamilton, Mark Holland
Georgia Library Quarterly
The article reports on the expansion and renovation of Georgia Southern University's Henderson Library. The Zach S. Henderson Library has been the hub of academic life at Georgia Southern University for more than 30 years. The library has been the focus of an extensive expansion and renovation to help meet the needs of the university's growing student body. The first phase of the $22.75 million project opened on October 1, 2006. The original building included 109,515 square feet of space. The additional building will feature seating on the first, second and third floors and a balcony on the fourth floor …
Citax: A Collaborative Ict Standards Model For The Irish Construction Industry, Alan V. Hore, Roger West
Citax: A Collaborative Ict Standards Model For The Irish Construction Industry, Alan V. Hore, Roger West
Conference papers
The Irish construction industry is facing a series of fundamental challenges that is affecting every player in the AEC lifecycle, from architects to engineers to quantity surveyors to owners to tenants. Despite technological advances in recent years, the Irish construction industry lags behind other industries in respect to ICT investments. Although there is a pressing need for innovation, existing procurement and tendering procedures in Ireland largely discourage new ideas and put further pressure on thin margins that characterise the competitiveness of the construction sector. The low level of inter-company ICT connectivity reflects the general fragmented and adversarial nature of the …
