Effect of oil coating on steel bar on the strength of reinforced concrete (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The strength of steel-reinforced concrete greatly depends on the adequacy of the bond between concrete and steel reinforcement and this can be impaired by the surface condition of reinforcing steel. Oil on the surface of steel reinforcement has been... Read More about Effect of oil coating on steel bar on the strength of reinforced concrete.

Managing the adverse health and safety impact of subcontracting: Findings of a qualitative inquiry (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite the economic benefits of subcontracting, it is widely known to be one of the factors influencing adverse health and safety (H&S) outcomes on projects. Given the increasing complexity of construction technologies which inevitably means that sp...

Investigating the accident causal influence of construction project features: An effort towards improving construction project delivery (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The significance of the early planning of health and safety (H&S) to safe construction project delivery is a widely recognised fact, and central to that is the need for construction project participants to address originating accident causal factors...

Safety at sports stadia (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Following the human tragedies in football stadia in Great Britain, several safety legislative requirements have been passed to ensure spectator safety. Among such requirements is the requirement for seated accommodation for all spectators. Since the... Read More about Safety at sports stadia.

The influence of pre-construction decision-making on accident causation: A causal model (2011)
Journal Article

Briefing: The adverse health and safety influence of subcontracting (2011)
Journal Article

Subcontracting has been noted to have an adverse influence on health and safety. Through a critique of the health and safety literature the causative factors of this adverse influence are identified, and a subsequent examination of the Construction (...

The extent of contribution of construction project features to accident causation and health and safety risk: A conceptual model (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Construction project features (CPFs) are organisational, physical and operational attributes that characterise construction projects. Although previous studies have reported the contribution of CPFs to accident causation and the extent of their contr...

An approach for evaluating the health and safety risk associated with construction project features based on their contribution to accident causation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The evaluation of health and safety (H&S) risk and the implementation of risk control measures is a hugely important requirement on construction projects. In this light, several risk assessment methods and tools have been developed to enable the eval...

An investigation into the barriers towards making existing domestics properties more resilient to the effects of flooding: Results of a case study (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The number of major flood incidents has increased significantly over the past ten years. The flood events of summer 2007 witnessed some of the worst flooding to have hit the UK in over sixty years. Climate change and other key factors are playing a...

How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The implementation of effective accident prevention measures requires insight into how accidents occur and the extent to which accident causal factors contribute to accidents. Construction projects features (CPFs) such as the nature of project, metho... Read More about How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention.
