Sustainable Contractual Disputes in Managing Construction Project
Abstract: Abstract Understanding of the differences of construction dispute resolution processes and their ticklish methods will be undoubtedly priceless and precious to project managers in dealings with construction disputes, as they become an inescapable part of construction projects. The study is conducted to identify the main causes and impacts on project performance baselines (scope, cost and schedule). Outcomes of this study showed that the causes of contractual disputes are mainly related …

Evaluation of Manpower Training and Development in Nigeria Construction Industry
Abstract: Abstract Lack of technical and managerial skill is often identified as one of the major problem facing construction industry in developing countries resulting in poor competitiveness with their developed and industrialized counterparts. Research had shown that building failure is not only caused as result of inefficient design, lack of standard materials, but also due to lack of skilled labour in the construction project. This research evaluate manpower training and development …

Analysis of various thicknesses of Shear Wall with Opening and without Opening and their Percentage Reinforcement
Abstract: Due to increase in population spacing in India is needed, especially in urban areas. Structural engineers in the seismic regions across the world often face the pressure to design high rise buildings with stiffness irregularities, even though they know these buildings are vulnerable under seismic loading. Today’s tall buildings are becoming more and more slender, leading to the possibility of more sway in comparison with earlier high rise buildings. Improving …

Analysis of Flat Slab by MATLAB Coding
Abstract: A reinforced concrete slab supported by columns with, or without drop is called as flat slab. The columns for flat slab provided with, or without column heads. Flat slab is a universal structural component widely used in construction now-a-days. Flat slab requires minimum depth as compared to other slab, hence saving in material cost, speedy construction and it allows flexible column grids. MATLAB programming helps in high-performance numerical computation and …
