Accelerate with CPM - and this leading guide to construction planning and scheduling. Widely used to network schedules effectively, critical path management (CPM) has become a powerful catalyst for fail-safe construction project design and management. And when it comes to applying CPM to day-in, day-out construction situations, this guide is the one you'll want to have.Written by the former vice chair of the celebrated construction management firm that renovated San Francisco's cable car system and redeveloped New York's JFK Airport, and by one of America's leading construction scheduling experts, the "Sixth Edition of CPM in Construction Management" arms you with more glitch-busting tools than ever for smooth handling of complex jobs.This highly informative, highly useful book shows you how CPM: works - and how to make it work for you; Serves as the analytical tool of choice for the evaluation, negotiation, resolution, and/or litigation of construction claims; cuts costs in a one-person operation or the most complex multinational enterprise; helps you stay on top of every aspect of complicated projects; saves you big money in delay avoidance, accurate cost predictions, and claims reduction; multiplies the effectiveness of your instincts, experience, and knowledge; and explains how to fully and properly utilize the power of leading scheduling software such as Primavera[trademark]. With case studies of major construction projects around the world and a 'John Doe' example project that's followed throughout, this book goes a long way in simplifying your application of CPM. From cutting project time up to 40 percent, to advanced gains from computer programs; from assessing critical deliveries, to courtroom evidentiary value - this updated classic is the construction tool that makes everything around you work better, faster, and more economically. This title helps you expedite CPM - and your projects fundamentals of CPM. Following are the features: event time computations; activity time computations; procurement; preconstruction; the CPM schedule; preparation of CPM network; CPM by computer; monitoring project progress; CPM and cost control; equipment and work force planning; precedence networks; computer programs and systems; applications and advantages of CPM; specifying CPM; CPM costs; case histories; and, CPM in claims and litigation.

ACI 318-05: Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary
Description :
ACI 318 is a must-have standard for all concrete design, construction, inspection, repair, and research professionals. ACI 318-05 contains the latest code requirements for concrete building design and construction. The companion commentary is a side-by-side column format to match the corresponding code requirements. The commentary provides some of the considerations of the committee in developing code provisions. This edition of the ACI Building Code is deemed to satisfy the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 19338, Performance Assessment Requirements for Design Standards on Structural Concrete.The 2005 Edition has improved readability by unifying notations and terminology throughout the code. In addition, there are several specific technical changes and various existing provisions were clarified.
Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing, and placing; formwork; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed concrete; strength evaluation of existing structures; provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix D.
The code portion of this document covers the design and construction of structural concrete used in buildings and where applicable in nonbuilding structures.
Among the subjects covered are: drawings and specifications; inspection; materials; durability requirements; concrete quality, mixing and placing; formwork; embedded pipes; construction joints; reinforcement details; analysis and design; strength and serviceability; flexural and axial loads; shear and torsion; development and splices of reinforcement; slab systems; walls; footings; precast concrete; composite flexural members; prestressed concrete; shells and folded plate members; strength evaluation of existing structures; special provisions for seismic design; structural plain concrete; strut-and-tie modeling in Appendix A; alternative design provisions in Appendix B; alternative load and strength-reduction factors in Appendix C; and anchoring to concrete in Appendix D.
The quality and testing of materials used in construction are covered by reference to the appropriate ASTM standard specifications. Welding of reinforcement is covered by reference to the appropriate ANSI/AWS standard.
Uses of the code include adoption by reference in general building codes, and earlier editions have been widely used in this manner. The code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its language. Therefore, background details or suggestions for carrying out the requirements or intent of the code portion cannot be included. The commentary is provided for this purpose. Some of the considerations of the committee in developing the code portion are discussed within the commentary, with emphasis given to the explanation of new or revised provisions. Much of the research data referenced in preparing the code is cited for the user desiring to study individual questions in greater detail. Other documents that provide suggestions for carrying out the requirements of the code are also cited.

Managing Construction Logistics

Description:

Sullivan, Gary. Barthorpe, Stephen. Robbins, Stephen , "Managing Construction Logistics"
Wiley-Blackwell | 2010 | ISBN: 1444323393, 1405151242 | 304 pages | PDF | 10,7 MB

Every major industry except construction uses logistics to improve its bottom line…
Poor logistics is costing the construction industry at least £3 billion a year according to a report – ‘Improving Construction Logistics’ – published by the Strategic Forum for Construction. Additional costs arise as a result of operatives waiting for materials, and skilled craftsmen being used for unskilled jobs. Inadequate management of logistics also has an adverse effect on quality, causes delays to projects, and adds to the health and safety risks on site.

This practical book highlights the benefits of good logistics as well as the use of consolidation centres on projects. It shows how reduction in transport movements, less money tied up in stock, less waste, and the more efficient use of skilled craftsmen will reduce the cost of projects, reduce construction time, improve quality, reduce risks to health and safety, improve environmental performance and generally improve the image of the industry.

The authors offer practical ways of achieving these benefits through integrated project teams and supply chains and the increased adoption of information technology including electronic communications, bar coding, and electronic tagging for tracing products. They also show how specific roles for each part of the industry can help to improve logistics.

Design of Curved Steel - Free Download

Design of curved steel

Description:
Covers the design of common types of curved steel members used in building structures, and demonstrates how to take account of the curvature so that member checks can be made in accordance with BS 5950-1:2000 or suitable modifications of that Standard.  The curving process is described, together with the effect that this has on the material properties.  Guidance is offered on when the changes in material properties are small enough to be neglected, and additional checks are described where necessary.  Where the behaviour of curved members differs from that of straight members, this is described.  Where necessary, modified resistance checks are prescribed for curved members, together with straightforward methods to take account of additional effects, such as transverse bending stresses.  The design of steel members curved in elevation, such as arches, and portal frames with curved rafters, is described, with guidance on the choice of effective lengths, modelling for computer analysis and simple approaches to determine approximate maximum forces and moments for initial sizing of members.  Members curved on plan experience torsion in addition to bending effects.  The publication provides two methods to design such members, allowing for the torsional effects by either a simplified approach or by using a detailed analysis model of the member.  The design of both open (I and H) and hollow sections is covered.  Includes six worked examples demonstrating the design of curved steel members used in different applications, curved in elevation, and curved on plan.
