An investigation into the properties of micro-sphere insulating concrete (1996)
Journal Article

The aim of the investigation was to determine how the density of micro-sphere concrete influences other selected properties. A total of 672 specimens of different sizes were made from seven different concrete mixes. The ratio of cement to water mixes...

Planned construction times and labour utilization — a comparison of UK and French contractors (1996)
Journal Article

The results of a model based survey of contractors' planning engineers in France and the UK suggest that planned completion times for constructing an identical high-rise in situ concrete framed structure are significantly and dramatically lower in Fr...

The sensitivity of bricklayers' output to changes in skill (1996)
Journal Article

This paper examines the influence of skill on bricklayers' ouput. Time utilization in 25 working day activities by 157 bricklayers on 11 sites in the U.K. were surveyed using a computerized activity sampling package. Using Stepwise regression techniq...

An evaluation of transportation systems for high rise concrete construction (1996)
Journal Article

Utilising a model design of a high rise concrete frame and structured questionnaire, the results of an investigation concerning the selection of transportation methods, as perceived by contractors' planning engineers, are presented. Findings reveal t... Read More about An evaluation of transportation systems for high rise concrete construction.

Tendering procedures, contractual arrangements and Latham: The contractors' view (1996)
Journal Article

The procedural and administrative aspects of UK tendering have remained largely unaltered for decades but this may soon change in light of the recent review of the construction sector, headed by Sir Michael Latham. This paper presents findings of a n... Read More about Tendering procedures, contractual arrangements and Latham: The contractors' view.

A review of client-generated risks to project consultants (1996)
Journal Article

Client evaluation in construction consulting and contracting firms focuses almost exclusively on client financial stability to the neglect of other project-relevant attributes within the client organization. Although widely recognized as important, c... Read More about A review of client-generated risks to project consultants.

A survey of constraints on Iranian construction operatives' productivity (1996)
Journal Article

Construction productivity is rarely analysed in Iran. If productivity is to improve, current weaknesses must be identified. To this end data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey. By utilizing the relative index ranking technique,... Read More about A survey of constraints on Iranian construction operatives' productivity.

Validation of the model for evaluating client-generated risk by project consultants (1996)
Journal Article

This paper reports the results of studies in 29 construction consulting firms aimed at validating a model for evaluating client-generated risks (see Kometa et al. 1995a). Validation required quantification of project outcomes in terms of time, cost,... Read More about Validation of the model for evaluating client-generated risk by project consultants.

Computer-based model for optimizing the location of a single tower crane (1996)
Journal Article

The application of a quantitative approach to determine optimum crane position is highly desirable for construction site planning. This paper describes a stochastic (random number generation to simulate real-world event sequences) simulation model to...
