Abstract:
This paper is based on a scientific methodology developed by its author(1987) in his doctoral dissertation and later (2004) published in a book.According to this methodology, architecture is understood as a systemconsisting of four basic elements: Environment, Man, Boundaries andPerspectives. As a case study, this methodology was checked and confirmed(in the dissertation and in the... MoreArticlesStudy on Ground Deformation During Shield Tunnel Construction

Abstract:
Through the systematic analysis of the ground settlement generatedby the process of shield tunneling, the relationships between grounddeformation and construction parameters are studied in this paper. Basedon the assumption of linear small deformation, a mathematical model ofthe relationship between ground deformation and construction parametersis set up. The principle and method of optimization for estimating grounddeformation... MoreArticlesDevelopment of a Fuzzy Fire Risk Evaluation Model for Building Construction Sites in Hong Kong

Abstract:
Earlier research works on fire risk evaluation indicated that an objective,reliable, comprehensive, and practical fire risk evaluation model is essentialfor mitigating fire occurrence in building construction sites. Nevertheless,real empirical studies in this research area are quite limited. This journalpaper gives an account of the second stage of a research study aiming atdeveloping a fuzzy fire...

Abstract:
On-time completion of road infrastructure projects is a critical goal. Whenprojects were not completed on schedule and real construction progress isslower than expected, the inconvenience and disruption to business accessincreases. On time completion is linked to economic and social welfare,as well as safety. Construction delays continue to be a typical occurrence,despite the need of prompt...

Abstract:
Concrete is the most generally used construction material in buildings,pavements, and infrastructures. Concrete is a construction materialcomposed of cement as binder, fine aggregates and coarse aggregatesmixed with water which hardens with time. Concrete is a versatileconstruction material within the housing industry of the planet. Thestandard of the concrete is tormented by various factors and from...

Abstract:
Buildings are designed to offer protection to the occupants against harshoutdoor environment thereby enhancing optimal indoor comfort. Overthe years, there have been a rise in population of students applying foradmission into tertiary institution, which has led to an increase in thenumber of students that resides at the university hostel. These rise in thenumber of students,... More
