Slum genealogy (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Rice, L. (2010, December). Slum genealogy. Presented at Destination Slum! International Conference, Bristol, UK

The slum is consuming the world. Thus slums by virtue of their presence: as a utopian model – always present, everywhere and always the same: have power. They have become more powerful than the formal city, princes and philosophers alike are drawn to... Read More about Slum genealogy.

The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mawle, R., Bhamra, T., & Lofthouse, V. (2010, October). The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies. Paper presented at Knowledge Collaboration & Learning for Sustainable Innovation: ERSCP-EMSU Conference, Delft, The Netherlands

This paper reports on an ongoing study that explores how UK based designers, in small design consultancies (SDCs), locate information and learn new skills. Semi-structured interviews were used to improve understanding of the context within which thes... Read More about The practice of ecoDesign: A study of small product design consultancies.

The extent of contribution of construction project features to accident causation and health and safety risk: A conceptual model (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., & Suresh, S. (2010, September). The extent of contribution of construction project features to accident causation and health and safety risk: A conceptual model. Paper presented at 26th Annual ARCOM Conference, Leeds, UK

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
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., & Suresh, S. (2010, September). An approach for evaluating the health and safety risk associated with construction project features based on their contribution to accident causation. Paper presented at Proceedings of the Construction, Building and Real Estate Research Conference of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (COBRA), Paris, France

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
Manu, P., Phandey, R., & Proverbs, D. (2010, September). An investigation into the barriers towards making existing domestics properties more resilient to the effects of flooding: Results of a case study. Paper presented at Proceedings of the Construction, Building and Real Estate Research Conference of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (COBRA), Paris, France

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
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., Suresh, S., & Ahadzie, D. (2010, July). How and to what extent do construction project features contribute to accidents? Insight for accident prevention. Paper presented at West Africa Built Environment Research (WABER) Conference, Accra, Ghana

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.

Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Manu, P., Ankrah, N., Proverbs, D., Suresh, S., & Adinyira, E. (2010, June). Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation. Paper presented at 1st International Postgraduate Research Conference on the Built Environment, Kumasi, Ghana

Studies on construction accident causation within the UK construction industry have revealed two key hierarchies of causal factors namely: distal factors and proximal factors. Although both causal factors have been the focus of investigation, the dis... Read More about Towards interrogating the contribution of construction project features to accident causation.

The effect of steel reinforcement corrosion on tensile strength, bond strength and flexural strength (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Adukpo, E., Oteng-Seifah, S., Manu, P., & Solomon-Ayeh, K. (2010, May). The effect of steel reinforcement corrosion on tensile strength, bond strength and flexural strength. Paper presented at CIB 2010 World Congress, Salford, UK

The strength of steel-reinforced concrete greatly depends on the adequacy of the bond between the concrete and the steel reinforcement. Bonding is enhanced by adhesion and frictional resistance between the steel/concrete interface and can adversely b...
