Estimating The Required Jacking Force, Alan Atalah, David Bennett, Tom Iseley Apr 1994

Estimating The Required Jacking Force, Alan Atalah, David Bennett, Tom Iseley

Construction Management Faculty Publications

The process of estimating the required jacking force to jack a pipe through the ground was, and still is, an art requiring much experience and good judgement. Many factors and risks affect the determination of the jacking force. This paper is an attempt to use civil engineering techniques to rationalize and compare methods for estimating the required jacking force. Four of these methods are summarized and used to estimate the jacking loads on a job completed in Staten Island, New York. The actual and predicted results are compared.

The frictional resistance values estimated based on Terzaghi 1 s silo theory …

A Predictive Model For The Determination Of The Economic Feasibility Of Construction And Demolition Waste Recycling In The Air Force, Byron L. Dixon Sep 1993

A Predictive Model For The Determination Of The Economic Feasibility Of Construction And Demolition Waste Recycling In The Air Force, Byron L. Dixon

Theses and Dissertations

This study created a model to be used at a CONUS Air Force base to determine the economic feasibility of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste recycling. Three areas investigated to develop this model: the methods to determine amounts and types of C&D waste generated at a specific location, the markets for recycled C&D wastes, and the recycling methods currently available. From this data, gathered through records searches and interviews, a procedure was developed to perform cost/benefit analyses on the available recycling options. A model was then created based on these calculations which can arm a manager with information to either …

Roller Compacted Concrete As A New Method For Building Dams And Its Economic Advantages, Sami Tannous Jan 1993

Roller Compacted Concrete As A New Method For Building Dams And Its Economic Advantages, Sami Tannous

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This document includes overviews of the planning and design processes, reviews of construction operations, evaluations of the behavior, and performance of completed dams. Included in this document are examples of roller-compacted concrete dam construction in the U.S., South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. This document also provides information on the development of roller compacted concrete (RCC) to support the use of RCC in dam construction. This procedure offers rapid construction with a lower cost, compared with the traditional concrete practice, and challenges the economics of earthfill and rockfill embankment dams.

Job Characteristics Of Construction Craftsmen And Their Relationships To Affective Work Outcomes, Musibau Adeola Shofoluwe Jan 1992

Job Characteristics Of Construction Craftsmen And Their Relationships To Affective Work Outcomes, Musibau Adeola Shofoluwe

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This research was undertaken to investigate the extent to which employee-perceived job characteristics were related to internal work motivation and general satisfaction. Research shows that the structure of work has a significant influence on the motivation and general satisfaction of workers.

A job characteristic model developed by Hackman and Oldham (1980) was used as a basis for conducting this study. The study population consisted of construction craft workers who were registered members of the bricklayers, carpenters, and electrical unions located in a mid-western state. Job diagnostic survey questionnaires were mailed to 650 craftsmen. A total of 236 (36.3%) instruments were …
