Agricultural Product Loads And Warehouse Failures, Norbert J. Delatte Aug 2002

Agricultural Product Loads And Warehouse Failures, Norbert J. Delatte

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

Two manufactured metal building warehouses loaded with agricultural products failed in service. Inspection revealed considerable damage to the structure and the foundation. The building owner filed suit against the building supplier, the building erector, and the soils testing laboratory whose engineer had designed the foundation. The agricultural product imposed substantial outward lateral pressures on the walls of the structures. Review of the available design documents indicated that these loads had not been accounted for in design. A structural analysis revealed that elements of the structure were underdesigned for the agricultural product loads. In addition, the foundation did not have any …

A Model For Optimizing The Selection Of Project Delivery Systems Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp), Arosha De Silva Jun 2002

A Model For Optimizing The Selection Of Project Delivery Systems Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp), Arosha De Silva

Masters Theses

The project delivery systems applicable to the construction industry in the U.S. consist of different approaches. This study focuses on three main approaches, (1) Design-Bid-Build (DBB), (2) Design-Build (DB), and (3) Construction Management (CM). Since each construction project is unique, selecting the right project delivery system is a tough decision.

This study develops a decision making system, based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), for selecting the best delivery system for a given construction project. AHP is a decision making mathematical model developed by Thomas L. Saaty and consists of a hierarchical structure. It analyzes several alternatives for a given …

Underwater Concrete, Dina Adel Nakhla Feb 2002

Underwater Concrete, Dina Adel Nakhla

Archived Theses and Dissertations

Underwater structures represent a significant portion of concrete works worldwide. The utilization of various underwater concrete techniques has indeed minimized the use of costly dewatering processes. Such techniques include the use of special· equipment such as trernie concrete and preplaced aggregate technique. The incorporation of antiwashout admixtures has evolved as a method to minimize the washout of cement and fine particles. As for today, there exists relatively limited information regarding different underwater concreting techniques to facilitate feasible and adequate selection of appropriate methods. This work comprises a survey study and an experimental work to evaluate the impact of using the …

Analysing Construction Risk : A Project Management Model, P K Dey Jun 2001

Analysing Construction Risk : A Project Management Model, P K Dey

IIMB Management Review

The success parameters for any project are ontime completion within the specific budget, and requisite performance or meeting the technical requirements. The main barriers to achievement are changes in the project environment. The problem multiplies with the size of the project. Large-scale construction projects are exposed to an uncertain environment because they are subject to such factors as planning and design complexity, presence of various interest groups (project owner, owner’s project group, consultants, contractors, vendors etc), availability of resources (materials, equipment, funds etc), climatic environment, the economic and political environment and statutory regulations. Other risk factors include the complexity of …
