A downward trend on productivity growth rates has been observed since the 1970s of the twentieth century for construction sectors of western industrial countries. Despite conflicting evidence, numerous recent economic studies on growth research suggest that innovation and technology are significant drivers for productivity and growth. According to the OECD the lack or low level of employees' skills and qualifications might be in different ways a possible explanation for the observed slowdown of productivity growth. In this context, intrafirm behaviour has long been recognized as a potentially important driver for productivity. Results from surveys show that management practices have become more structured, in the sense of involving more data collection and analysis. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation between the measured management quality and firm performance can be observed. Studies suggest that there is a positive association between human skills and productivity. ]]>

The project environment in Nigeria is shifting from traditional practice towards dispersed teams thereby creating the need to understand leadership attributes that lead to successful project outcomes. This study assessed the impact of leadership traits on team performance as correlates of success in construction projects. Like many other management research, the study involve inferential survey. 172 participants drawn from the different professions in the construction industry selected from 42 mega projects completed in the last three years in south-south Nigeria were sampled. Twelve collaborative leadership traits drawn from emotional, managerial competencies were tested against team performance and team spirit stimulants from the literature. Mean item score was used to evaluate relevance of the traits to collaborative working while hypotheses were tested using chi square. While the result of the study is not different from literature, the far reaching implication is that, project team members’ satisfaction translates into successful projects. Project management’s leadership quest to satisfy the project team must be guided towards collaboration. The current result has advance significantly the understanding of team leadership attributes for the research environment and further buttress the need to meet project participants’ mutual objectives for a successful project. ]]>

Over the past decade, several number of commercial and non-commercial catastrophe risk models have been developed to assess the financial losses caused by natural catastrophes including earthquakes. The output of such models are in different sectors such as disaster risks management, financial institutions and also research centers. Generally, due to great amount of inherent uncertainty in these models the direct deployment of the results by the user is a tough process. As an example, in disaster risk reduction sector a common missing link in this context is a decision-support medium that interprets the risk analysis outputs to the non-technical stakeholders. To overcome this problem, user-friendly analytical tools can be employed to translate the disaster risk analysis results into an understandable language for the potential stakeholder user. Presenting two models, attempts to address two different examples of such decisionsupport tools. The first model, UERI, is structured to incorporate several urban risk components (hazard, physical vulnerability, disaster management facilities and human exposure) based on a number earthquake risk indicators. The second tooles the use of a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) model to finds an opt spatil land-use allocation patter a given urban environment area. Both models are capable of assisting decision-makers in using the output results of existing damage and loss estimation methodologies and also facilitating the process of risk reduction planning by providing basic solutions for stakeholders. The proposed models have been applied to a vulnerable urban area in Tehran, Iran and their performances have been examined.]]>

0 Stability Assessment of Steel Moment Frames against Progressive Collapse /slideshow/stability-assessment-of-steel-moment-frames-against-progressive-collapse/245449216 2215civej01-210401092014
Analyzing progressive collapse plays a pivotal role in diagnosing structure stability caused by earthquake, explosion, car crashes, and fire and so on. In the current research, condition of progressive collapse has been analyzed in structures which have been designed based on current codes in Iran. For this purpose, a couple of steel buildings with steel moment frame systems that have many stories and various bay, have been evaluated. With sudden removal of each column, the possibility of bridging over other elements has been studied; besides, alternative path method introduced by the UFC 4-023-03 code has been applied in the assessment process. Results indicate that the beams located on the highest floor do not have a suitable performance and in case of sudden removal of each of the columns, it will be impossible to bridge over other elements and it will face collapse and progressive collapse in spite of the fact that other members are resistant against the collapse.]]>

0 Performance Evaluation of 9 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant at Gurgaon and Cost Effective Measures in Treatment Process /slideshow/performance-evaluation-of-9-mld-sewage-treatment-plant-at-gurgaon-and-cost-effective-measures-in-treatment-process/242895765 2315civej01-210217100802
Sewage treatment plant under study has 9 MLD capacity and is located in Gurgaon. It receives sewage from the surrounding residential areas and after three stage treatment, treated effluent is supplied back to meet water requirement for various purposes. This has certainly reduced dependency on the precious underground water and thereby reducing the burden and saving environment. For performance evaluation of the sewage treatment plant samples were collected at various stages i.e., at inlet raw sewage, after primary treatment, secondary treatment and after tertiary treatment. Samples were tested to measure various parameters like pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Kjedahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Coliform, Phosphorous and Oil & Grease. Data on above parameters were observed and collected for three months November, 2014 to January, 2015. All these treatment are adding a huge cost to the recycled water. Hence the present study is aimed to provide alternatives to reduce the cost input. Also studies were made to find out ways by minimizing processes and stages of treatment.]]>

The application of Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) in infrastructure facilities projects has been marginalised so far especially in real-life projects. In many cases, the significance of this tool is not the end result by itself but the improvements that can be made to the infrastructure facility design during and as a result of the LCCA model development. This paper presents lessons-learnt from analysing and developing a LCCA model for an actual integrated municipal solid waste management infrastructure facility using the anaerobic treatment technology and recycling. The development of the LCCA model for the facility involved several distinctive steps such as system analysis and disintegration, maintenance and operation cost data acquisition, identifying relevant performance indicators for each operation that can be utilized in tandem with the LCCA model, setting up serviceability threshold for each operation. In addition to model development description, the paper highlights the requirements needed and the impediments that may be encountered when developing LCCA model for solid waste management facilities. At the end, the paper concludes with providing recommendations for decision makers and researchers in this field based on the experience gained from the model development. ]]>

The potential risks associated with the use of recycled water have become a matter of concern for many organisations which are recycling water. Out of the many reasons, the major ones are that they are not able to maintain the efficiency of the treatment plant and to meet the high energy demand of these plants. These problems have led to restricted usage of treatment plants by the industries hence they allow the waste water to bypass directly into the natural water bodies without any treatment. This work has taken into consideration the issue of river Yamuna in Delhi, which is one of the most polluted rivers of the world. It has been identified that Nazafgarh drain located in west Delhi has got a major contribution in the polluting Yamuna. The need of the hour is to find an innovative solution to resolve the problem of water recycling and offer a platform to the industries where the burden of treating their factory effluents is taken care of. This paper proposes a 1 MLD water treatment plant based on Soil Biotechnology which can efficiently treat the Nazafgarh drain water and make it fit for disposal into Yamuna. SBT is an eco-friendly and sustainable technology developed at IIT Bombay which provides all levels of treatment in a single evergreen set up open to atmosphere which is odorless, cheap, simple to operate, easy to maintain and could be set up within the area of habilitation. ]]>

Based on reviews of existing plans as well as interviews and conversations with 153 people that live in Alaska Native Villages (ANVs) or influence ANVs plans and policies, this article describes how planning for climate change adaptation and hazard mitigation takes place and provides suggestions for improvement. Planning processes are generally initiated and overseen by outside entities and have limited community participation, as they are disconnected from community events and activities. A more participatory approach that engages ANV residents by building on existing indigenous community practices may be more helpful in developing a common vision for adaptation. Planners could improve planning by spending more time talking to community members, and if desired by ANVs mentoring leadership to better engage in the process and assisting with dispute resolution. ANVs could improve planning by providing for activities that foster connectivity and a common vision and supporting efforts to build community leadership. ]]>

0 STUDYING THE EFFECTS OF AIRCRAFT NOISE AROUND ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, UAE ON THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL AND WORK PLACES /slideshow/studying-the-effects-of-aircraft-noise-around-abu-dhabi-international-airport-uae-on-the-surrounding-residential-and-work-places/77778132 4217civej05-170712045813
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of aircraft noise pollution on community and workers’ health near Abu Dhabi International Airport. This study was conducted in residential neighborhoods and employment areas living and working within a 25-km radius of the airport with high exposure to aircraft noise and in matched control areas far from the airport (outside the 25-km radius) and are unaffected by aircraft noise. Data was collected by conducting a revealed-preference face-to-face interview surveys among the residents and the workers nea rand far from Abu Dhabi International Airport during the months of September and December 2014. A total of 5,070 residents in both areas (2,579 near the airport and 2,492 far from the airport) and 1,995 workers in both areas (995 near the airport and 1,000 far from the airport) were interviewed and completed the questionnaire. Binomial Logit Regression Model was used to determine the impact of aircraft noise on community and workers’ health. After controlling for confounders, the health of the residents adjacent to the airport who have been chronically exposed to high aircraft noise level are found to be worse than the control group. The results show that residents from the noise exposure area have a high level of noise stress, hypertension, headache, general disturbance, loss of sleep/insomnia, and hearing problems than the matched control area. On the other hand, aircraft noise pollution near Abu Dhabi Airport has no negative impact on workers adjacent to the airport. The impact of aircraft noise on community health should not restrain the growth of air travel industry in the city as this growth is essential and beneficial to the whole nation’s economy. The reduction of aircraft noise level in the exposed area could be achieved by imposing policies, codes of practices, and action noise plans to assess and evaluate land use management as an effective tool for mitigating aircraft noise. Future research should assess community health based on self-reported physician diagnosed blood pressure; and hearing, stress, headache diagnostic examination. ]]>

This study attempts to make use of traffic behaviour on the aggregate level to estimate congestion on urban arterial and sub-arterial roads of a city exhibiting heterogeneous traffic conditions by breaking the route into independent segments and approximating the origin-destination based traffic flow behaviour of the segments. The expected travel time in making a trip is modelled against sectional traffic characteristics (flow and speed) at origin and destination points of road segments, and roadway and segment traffic characteristics such as diversion routes are also tried in accounting for travel time. Predicted travel time is then used along with free flow time to determine the state of congestion on the segments using a congestion index (CI). A development of this kind may help in understanding traffic and congestion behaviour practically using easily accessible inputs, limited only to the nodes, and help in improving road network planning and management. ]]>
