Construction Delays Of High Investment Projects In Egypt, Nora Mohamed El-Gohary
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
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 …
Behavior Of Screw Connections In Residential Construction, Roger A. Laboube, M. A. Sokol
Behavior Of Screw Connections In Residential Construction, Roger A. Laboube, M. A. Sokol
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Self-drilling screws are the primary means of fastening cold-formed steel members in residential construction. Because the fabrication of connections is the most labor-intensive aspect of the construction process, a better understanding of the behavior of screw connections could lead to more optimum connection design. Therefore, studies have been performed at the University of Missouri-Rolla aimed at developing a better understanding of the behavior of single-shear connections using self-drilling screws in cold-formed steel construction. The study's focus was on design parameters typically employed in residential construction. Fastener patterns, screw spacing, stripped screws, and the number of screws in a connection was …
Safety Behaviour In The Construction Industry, Nick Macdonald, Victor Hrymak
Safety Behaviour In The Construction Industry, Nick Macdonald, Victor Hrymak
Reports
The influences on safety standards and employee safety behaviour was analysed on 18 large construction sites on the island of Ireland. The safety management and documentation of these sites was also analysed. The results are discussed at length together with comprehensive recommendations for the industry.
Safety Impacts Of Rural Road Construction, Kenneth R. Agent, Jerry G. Pigman
Safety Impacts Of Rural Road Construction, Kenneth R. Agent, Jerry G. Pigman
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Crash data in Kentucky show that the fatal crash rate on two-lane rural roads is substantially higher than on any other type of road. Improvements have been proposed at some locations on this type of road which involve either upgrading the existing two-lane road or adding lanes resulting in a four-lane road. As part of the public information process, highway officials have been asked to document the previous results of this type of construction. The objectives of this study were to: 1) identify sections of two-lane rural roadways where either the two-lane road had been realigned and reconstructed or additional …

Nighttime Construction Issues, Donn E. Hancher, Timothy R. B. Taylor
Nighttime Construction Issues, Donn E. Hancher, Timothy R. B. Taylor
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
This report addresses several issues to consider when considering performing highway construction work in Kentucky at night. Surveys of other state departments of transportation and Kentucky highway contractors were made to identify best practices and concerns. An advisory committee of experienced KyTC engineers plus contractor representatives met extensively to identify successful approaches for handling key issues which arise on night-time construction projects.
Seventeen specific recommendations have been proposed to enhance the Cabinet's use of night-time construction for its projects. These cover several issues related to night-time work, including contract requirements, traffic control, law enforcement, personnel issues, lighting and public awareness. …

Long-Term Monitoring Of Experimental Features, Subtask 2: Alexandria-Ashland Highway (Ky 9) Pavement Performance Monitoring, L. John Fleckenstein, Monica L. Osborne, David L. Allen
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Construction on the AA Highway began in late 1985 and was completed in late 1990. Prior to construction, 30 different test sections had been designed into the highway for evaluation. The test sections contain 23 different characteristic qualities and different segment lengths. The segment lengths range from 1.28 to 9.13 miles and took one and a half to four years to complete each segment.
The sections were constructed from various pavement and shoulder designs. The designs are varied by parameters such as the type of subgrade stabilization, drainage type, surface class, surface aggregate, and more. The purpose for monitoring the …
