Construction Project Administration (9th Edition)

Description:

Using simple, straightforward language, this text addresses how a successful construction project is managed and administered from design through construction to closeout. With the goal of uniting the key stakeholders (contractors, architects, engineers, etc) and providing them with a workable system for operating as an effective construction team, Construction Project Administration reflects the latest technology, laws and regulations. Topics pertinent to each stage of a project are introduced and discussed as they occur throughout the life of the project. Numerous real-world examples are included.

This edition includes coverage of BIM, the introduction of the 2004 version of CSI Masterformat™and a complete chapter on electronic project administration. By tracing a construction project from start to finish, Construction Project Administration offers a single source of information for all in the construction industry.

Earthquake Spectra - February 2010 Volume 26 - pdf download

Earthquake Spectra - February 2010 Volume 26 Issue 1 pp. 1-310

Earthquake Spectra, the professional journal of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), 

is published quarterly in both printed and online editions in February, May, August, and November. 

The printed edition is sent to EERI members as part of their membership benefits. 

EERI established Earthquake Spectra with the purpose of improving the practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery. 

It is intended to serve the informational needs of the diverse professionals engaged in 

earthquake loss reduction: civil, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineers; geologists, seismologists, 

and other earth scientists; architects and city planners; public officials; social scientists; and researchers in all these disciplines. 

Spectra serves as the publication of record for the development of earthquake engineering practice, earthquake codes and regulations,

earthquake public policy, and earthquake investigation reports. Manuscripts published in Earthquake Spectra are peer reviewed. 

Periodically, EERI publishes special issues of Earthquake Spectra, either as theme issues or as reconnaissance reports on major earthquakes.
