Download or read book Construction Technology written by Roy Chudley and published by Longman. This book was released on 1987 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four volumes of Construction Technology provide a comprehensive guide to building technology from simple domestic single storey construction using traditional techniques to more complex multi-storey construction using more modern industrialised techniques. Each volume describes the technology concisely and is well illustrated with the author's own illustrations. The series provides a basic knowledge of all building activities from basic methods of construction in the early volumes through to more complex topics such as site planning, curtain walling and builders plant in later volumes. The series concentrates on the technology and avoids lengthy descriptive passages, leaving the description to the author's very detailed drawings. Volume 2 completes the coverage of conventional methods and materials of construction. As with volume 1, it deals with the construction of a small structure such as a bungalow or two-storey house. The book introduces more complex topics than are covered in volume 1. It deals with site and temporary works, e.g. simple excavations and scaffolding; substructure topics such as retaining walls and reinforce concrete foundations; simple framed buildings; floors and roof structures such as precast concrete floors and asphalt and lead-covered roofs; finishes and fittings such as simple concrete stairs; insulation; and services such as electrical and gas installations.

Emphasizing current market practices and strategic options for risk sharing, the book contains a narrative explanation of the underpinning of all of the issues involved in EPC contracting. Exhaustive in scope, it clarifies the fundamental commercial principles and pitfalls of "turnkey" contracting for all types of capital investments ranging from electrical and thermal power generation (including combined heat and power, nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas and coal) to refining, to chemical processing to LNG liquefaction and re-gasification to high speed rail, bridging, tunneling and road building. Providing clear and thorough analyses of the issues and challenges, this volume will be of great value to all those involved in complex construction projects.
Download or read book The Economics of Contracting Vol 1 written by Daniel J. Hauer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economics of Contracting, Vol. 1: A Treatise for Contractors, Engineers, Superintendents and Foreman Engaged in Engineering Contracting Work Ore than twenty years ago, when the author started out in the engineering contracting field, much had been writ ten ou engineering subjects, but little on contracting. When questions were asked as to different phases of conducting a contract, the reply was, that all of these things must be learned by experience, and it was frequently stated that Contractors are born not made. Those were the days when contracting was considered purely a business, but within the past two decades the execution of con struction contracts has become so specialized that today it must be considered as a profession, requiring organized knowledge. A profession is the result of a study of its principles and his tory, using the experience of others as a basis for the student and beginner. It is with this idea in view that this treatise has been given to the profession. The older contractors may find in it some thoughts and ideas that may be useful, and this book may assist them in realizing that some wastes still exist in their own business, and a few details that have not been mastered. The young man should not expect to become an experienced contractor by a close study of this treatise, but he can learn to do some things, and how to guard against both loss of time and money in eliminating mistakes made by others.

Download or read book Engineering Law the Law of Contract written by Alex Haring and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Law the Law of Contract, Vol. 1 This book is intended for the use of engineers and engineering students. The purpose is to present a condensed text of the law of contract: to give the general theory of the subject as taught in schools of law, while yet avoiding the reading of endless cases. Following the various rules in the order given, it is hoped that the student will get an understanding of the subject sufficient to guide him in meeting the legal phases of whatever branch of engineering may engage him. It is the author's belief that the case system of teaching law is not the best for the engineer. On the other hand, the text-book method taken alone does not enable the student to understand fully how the courts work out the rules of law in connection with the concrete facts. A combination of the two methods judiciously arranged by the instructor seems better adapted to provide the student with a knowledge of this important subject than is the present meager lecture system. To this end the rules of law in each chapter are followed by cases from practice, in many instances involving situations closely allied to engineering and intended to illustrate the application of the rules previously learned. Brief extracts from opinions in cases of a strictly engineering nature are given at the end of each section for the purpose of further illustration. The law of contract as presented to the majority of engineering schools at the present time consists of half a dozen lectures delivered by an attorney, who, aside from these lectures, does no further lecturing or teaching. The result is what might be expected: the engineering student graduates with practically no knowledge of the subject. This text is intended for use as a recitation course, to be supplemented by an occasional lecture by the instructor, and to be given by an experienced professor of engineering. The author is indebted to Dean Clarence D. Ashley of New York University Law School for matter on Conditions in Contract, and to Samuel Williston, Professor of Law, Harvard University, for the privilege of using a number of cases from his Case-book on Contracts. Acknowledgment is also made to John C. Wait, author of The Law of Contracts, for various excerpts from engineering decisions.

Download or read book Waste Materials in Construction written by G.R. Woolley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-05-12 with total page 1063 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the proceedings of the International Conference on The Science and Engineering of Recycling for Environmental Protection (WASCON 2000), of which a number of themes have been identified. All are inter-related and inter-dependent in so far as potential users of secondary, recovered or recycled material have to be assured that the material is environmentally safe and stable. It is the environmental challenge that forms a leading theme for the conference, and the themes of quality assurance and quality control support this aspect. In terms of use of 'recovered' materials, science and engineering play important and inter-dependent roles and this is reflected in themes which form the very core of the conference. Of no less importance is control of land contamination and how we propose to model for the long term impact of our aims. However dutiful and competent our ideas and studies, there has to be a measure of control and the role of legislation forms the final theme of WASCON 2000. The breadth of studies being undertaken world-wide and the innovative ideas that are expressed in papers submitted are worthy of this important subject. It is also interesting to note that papers were offered from 30 countries, a sign of the increasing awareness of the need to preserve our natural resources and utilize to the full those with which we are more familiar. This book will contribute to the understanding of and solution of environmental problems concerning the re-use of waste materials in construction.
