Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation into Waste Management on Construction Sites in South Western NigeriaO. O. Akinkurolere, S. O. FranklinThis study aims to report investigation into the problem of waste management on construction sites in South Western Nigeria and to unveil inherent dangers material wastage poses to the construction Industry. In the construction industries, materials are very vital in building sites, but not all the materials delivered are used for the purposes for which they have been ordered and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBuilding Cost Comparison Between Conventional and Formwork System: A Case Study of Four-storey School Buildings in MalaysiaNuzul Azam Haron, Ir. Salihuddin Hassim, Mohd. Razali Abd. Kadir, Mohd Saleh JaafarThe Malaysian construction industry is undergoing a transitional change from an industry employing conventional technology to a more systematic and mechanized system. This new system is now known as the Industrialized Building System (IBS). This new method of construction can increase productivity and quality of work through the use of better construction machinery, equipment, materials and extensive pre-project planning. This … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 9,020 accessesView PDFCite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Environmental Impact Assessment of Reinforced Concrete in Different Life Cycle PhasesJair Frederico Santoro, Moacir KripkaConcrete is one of most used materials in construction and also one of the main responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide, or CO2, in the atmosphere. Thus, in order to study ways to reduce this impact, it is important to evaluate the influence of each raw material of the reinforced concrete, as well as the phases of the life … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdditive Manufacturing in the Aerospace IndustryLidong Wang, Reed Mosher, Patti DuettThe main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals in the aerospace industry are part consolidation; the reduction of lead time, the construction of complicated structures easily with a great Strength-to-Weight (S:W) ratio; production of parts on-demand with reduced inventory, uncertainty and the costs of supply chains. Ti6Al4V and nickel-based alloys are commonly used AM materials for aerospace parts. Ground-based … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 12 Jun 2024 · 8,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Solution Code for Structural Analysis upon Joint ElementS. A. Sadrnejad, M. LabibzadehThe analysis of large structures mostly requires a complete three dimensional finite element discretization. Stability of such structures includes not only the stability of structure itself but also that of foundation as well as interconnection elements. The general instability of a structure may be affected by two aspects, firstly, an inappropriate preliminary classical design of the structure and inadequate control … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,442 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Interregional Freight Generation Modelling Methods by using Nationwide Commodity Flow Survey DataWirach HirunA trip generation model is one of the four parts of the classical transport planning model, which explores the volume of trip or freight at the originating and destination points of a traffic analysis zone. The process of calibrating a trip generation model needs appropriate data. Freight transport data are always robust and a powerful calibration technique is required to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2016 · 8,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Impact of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient on the Concrete Chemical DegradationA. BadaouiReinforced concrete is the construction material widely used in civil engineering. However, knowledge of its long-term performance and the uncertain impact of the environment on his behaviour make it difficult to accurate assessment of the durability of structures with time. When a structure is put into service, it is likely to damage, which origin can be physical, mechanical or chemical. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 7,758 accessesView PDFCite
