Download or read book Construction Equipment Management written by John E. Schaufelberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition of Construction Equipment Management fills a gap on this subject by integrating both conceptual and hands-on quantitative knowledge on construction equipment into a process that facilitates student learning. The first six chapters summarize interdisciplinary concepts that are necessary to ground students' learning on construction equipment management, including both engineering and economics. Each of the next 16 chapters covers a different type of construction equipment and associated methods of use. The final chapter introduces the more advanced concept of operation analysis. This allows the book to be used on numerous courses at different levels to prepare graduates to apply skills on construction equipment when planning for a new project, estimating its costs, and monitoring field operations. Organized around the major categories of construction equipment, including both commercial and heavy civil examples, case studies, and exercises, this textbook will help students develop independence in applying concepts to hands-on scenarios. A companion website provides an instructor manual, solutions, additional examples, lecture slides, figures, and diagrams.

This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction Equipment Management for Engineers, Estimators, and Construction Managers, Second Edition has been extensively rewritten to not only bring it up to date with the state of current practice, but also to serve as a textbook for university courses in construction engineering and management. The authors advanced the previous edition’s practical, hands-on approach and added material on the future of construction equipment fleet management, which they believe will require a new technology-based skillset to maximize the cost-effectiveness of construction equipment operations. As such, the book covers the latest construction equipment technologies. Features: Examines emergent technologies in the field, including automated machine guidance systems, intelligent compaction operations, and equipment-related civil integrated management tools. Provides information on how to reduce an equipment fleet’s environmental impact, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions through enhanced equipment management and optimization practices. Discusses estimating equipment ownership, operating costs, economic life and optimal replacement timing. Demonstrates how to maximize profit by determining the optimum equipment mix and estimating productivity. Illustrates the use of production-based linear scheduling and stochastic simulations to maximize project cost and schedule certainty. This new edition will serve as an essential textbook for students as well as a valuable reference for a wide range of professionals within the construction, architecture, and engineering industries.

Download or read book Toward Infrastructure Improvement written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advises the federal government on a national infrastructure research agenda. It takes the position that the traditional disciplinary and institutional divisions among infrastructure modes and professions are largely historical artifacts that impose barriers to the development of new technology and encourages the government to embrace a more interdisciplinary approach. In order to be practical, the study focuses on infrastructure technologies that can be incorporated into or overlay current systems, allow for alternative future alternative future urban development, and are likely to have value cutting across the distinct functional modes of infrastructure. Finally, the report is organized according to seven broad cross-cutting areas that should promote interdisciplinary approaches to infrastructure problems: systems life-cycle management, analysis and decision tools, information management, condition assessment and monitoring technology, the science of materials performance and deterioration, construction equipment and procedures, and technology management.

Download or read book The Economics of Heavy Construction Equipment Standardization written by Francis Dorman Koster and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems of standardization in the construction industry are continually being analyzed because managers are not satisfied with current answers, and new information on the subject is constantly being generated. One important aspect of heavy construction equipment policy which never has been analyzed completely is that of family standardization. This thesis was written to partially satisfy the need for analysis and discussion of the one special area of family standardization of heavy construction equipment. The viewpoint adopted for the discussion is generally that of the management of a medium-sized heavy construction company; however, specific attention also has been given to standardization as viewed by certain government organizations. It is hoped that the thesis will accomplish two objectives: (1) develop the significant factors and variables which affect family standardization of heavy construction equipment, and (2) outline a method of analysis which contractors can use to improve their equipment policy.
