This new textbook fills an important gap in the existing literature, in that it prepares construction engineering and built environment students for their first experience of the jobsite. This innovative book integrates conceptual and hands-on knowledge of project engineering to introduce students to the construction process and familiarize them with the procedures and activities they need to operate as project engineers during their summer internships and immediately after graduation.
The textbook is structured into four sections:
Section A: Introductory Concepts
Section B: Field Engineering
Section C: Office Engineering
Section D: Advanced Project Engineering
The emphasis on field tasks and case studies, questions, and exercises taken from across civil works and commercial building sectors makes this the ideal textbook for introductory to intermediate courses in Construction Engineering, Construction Engineering Technology, Civil and Architectural Engineering, and Construction Management degree programs.

The world is beginning to feel the crunch of depleting conventional energy sources and these desperate times call for exploring newer vistas in terms of alternative sources of energy. The construction sector is expected to require a major overhaul involving strategic advancements in the utilization of green energy given the rapid urban growth. A number of policy initiatives to mainstream energy efficiency are in place in most countries that are expected to accelerate energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings. Streamlining the green building movement requires coordinated monitoring and intelligent control of a building's vital functions. This can be achieved through building management systems (BMS) involving the integration of structures, systems, services, and management. Green building movements should examine the potential of power generation from urban, municipal, and industrial wastes. Equitable distribution of water resources should be carefully planned--monsoon-dominated countries should adopt efficient rain-water harvesting measures to provide clean water to thirsty nations.
These overarching concepts are well woven into themed chapters in Green Structures: Energy Efficient Buildings. Easily comprehensible to undergraduates in civil, structural, and environmental engineering; graduate students and researchers; town planners; and architects worldwide, the content of this book not only comes from courses on energy efficient buildings taught by the authors, but also from new and original research. This definitive resource has an enduring appeal for all those concerned with green structures.
Based on an extensive investigation on the various problems inherent in green construction projects, Performance and Improvement of Green Construction Projects provides a framework to compare and contrast common problems encountered when managing green construction projects and devising feasible solutions.
Performance and Improvement of Green Construction Projects expertly explain the specific characteristics and management approaches of green construction projects, with in-depth comparisons against conventional construction projects. The books present a holistic view on the management strategies and innovations for green construction projects, focusing on the assessment and improvement of green construction projects' management performance in the areas of cost, schedule, quality, safety, risk, productivity and leadership development
Addresses performance improvement and project management in green construction projects in view of cost, schedule, safety, quality, risk, productivity, and leadership
Clearly explains the obstacles, challenges, and barriers to implementing a green construction project
Discusses numerous special issues which are inherent in green construction projects from inception to delivery
Автор: Low Sui Pheng; Sim Jia Zheng Название: Construction Productivity in the Multilayer Subcontracting System ISBN: 9811318301 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789811318306 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 93160.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book focuses on current subcontracting practices in the construction industry and their effects on Singapore’s construction productivity. It offers readers a better understanding of how the fragmentation of large and small firms in Singapore impacts construction productivity when operating under the commonly adopted multilayer subcontracting system (MLSS), which extends globally to the construction industries in other countries that have adopted the MLSS. The book also assesses the effectiveness of subcontracting practices in helping local contractors improve their construction productivity (and thereby improve the industry’s overall productivity). In closing, it provides recommendations on how the problems associated with the MLSS can best be addressed, and how its benefits can be capitalized on through organizational learning.

Описание: How do speakers vary established patterns of language use and adapt them to novel contexts of application? This study presents a usage-based approach to linguistic creativity: combining detailed qualitative with large-scale quantitative analyses of corpus data, it traces the emergence of partial productivity in clusters of conventional collocations. Synthesising insights from research on language acquisition, variation and change, it is argued that creative extensions of linguistic conventions are intrinsically bound up with aspects of memory and repetition.
