Baytan, Mehmet. "Origins And Magnitude Of Waste In The Turkish Construction Industry." Master's thesis, METU, 2007. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12608366/index.pdf.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the quantity of construction waste for several construction materials and to state the probable origins of this waste, depending on case studies in Turkey. There is a lack of documented quantitative data in Turkey on how much material waste the construction industry generates and what amount of such materials remain unused due to this waste. Although some amount of waste is accepted as unavoidable, the probable reasons for it are unclear. Therefore, the study focused on determining waste percentage values for certain materials based on several constructi

Abstract:

Small business owners in the construction materials industry play a significant role in economic development through gross domestic product and employment. However, like other small business owners, many owners of small businesses in the construction materials industry close their businesses within 5 years. The purpose of this multiple case study grounded in the resource-based theory was to explore the strategies that owners of small businesses in the construction materials industry operating in Tanzania used to sustain business for longer than 5 years. Data were collected using semistructured

Abstract:

While wastage of materials has become a serious problem requiring urgent attention in the Nigerian Construction Industry, cost overrun is a problem, which affects 90 percent of the completed projects in the world; the argument on how to reduce/eliminate cost overrun has been on-going for the past 70 years; as the on-site wastage of materials leads to increases in the final project cost. Studies from different parts of the world have shown that construction-material waste represents a relatively large percentage of the production costs. Consequently, as a result of low levels of awareness, the

Abstract:

Electro-osmosis is one of the five electrokinetic phenomena that may occur in soils, and the phenomenon of principal interest to this thesis. It may be defined as the movement of the pore fluid in a fine-grained soil caused by the application of a DC electrical potential difference across the soil mass. One of the main reasons that electro-osmosis has not received a more widespread application in the field of geotechnical engineering is due to the difficulty of successfully applying the electrical potential field to the soil mass.

Abstract:

The idea of tilt-up construction started in America in the early I900’s. In the beginning, this technique was mainly used on structures such as industrial warehouses and factories. However, recent developments and improvements in tilt-up construction technique and accessories have enabled this building method to be applied to many architecturally appealing offices and residential structures. There are many details the design-build team must consider to ensure the success of a tilt-up project. The floor slab must be designed for panel casting and to withstand the loading of the mobile crane w

Construction is a big role player in every economy, and the Site Management Process (SMP) occupies a strategic position in the construction process. Despite existence of appreciable research, technology diffusion in the construction industry is slow. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) implementation processes and products have not adequately and beneficially exploited ICT for improvement of the SMP. This is especially true in developing countries. Without increase in utilisation of ICT, potential benefits for the SMP remain untapped. The aim of the thesis was to ascertain the level

At present, cementitious binders are used extensively in the construction industry and principally in concretes. They are also used in some applications like ground improvement. In these applications the cost of the binder, typically Portland cement, accounts for a considerable proportion of the total cost of the technique. In addition to the financial cost there is also the environmental impact of quarrying and processing of raw materials to produce Portland cements. Gypsum waste, by-pass dust and fly ash by-products have been identified as the alternative sources of cementitious binder. Usin

The aim of this study is to increase knowledge about the main causes of waste within the construction industry. Measures in order to reduce material waste are analyzed. Contractors of building projects and construction workers should be able to apply methods and measures in order to reduce waste.

Abstract:

Over recent years there has been increased awareness within the construction industry of the need to improve the construction process and quality achieved on site. With the number of skilled masons falling rapidly, alternatives to masonry construction are once again receiving attention and the prefabrication of brick elements provides a way of achieving the high quality and standards required along with improved working conditions. A review of recent applications of prefabricated brickwork was carried out looking at favoured construction methods, advantages & disadvantages and its design capab

Abstract:

Företag låter publicera ofta helt frivillig information kring sitt hållbarhetsarbete till sina intressenter och det samhälle de verkar inom. Denna information innehåller ofta en stor mängd visuellt material och detta material kan innehålla en hel del information som företaget vill förmedla. Därmed är det av stor vikt att förstå hur och varför detta visuella material används. Då byggbranschen skapar stora belastningar på både miljön och människa har vi valt att studera svenska byggföretags hållbarhetsredovisning. Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera och granska de bilder byggföretagen

Abstract:

The environmental issue has recently been central to national and international multidisciplinary debates. The term ecology, has given rise to green culture. Various intellectuals and artists since the first industrial revolution have been palpating the discomfort of what mechanized labor has entailed. Today, both the European Community and the UN set goals for safeguarding the planet and finding answers to the climate and environmental crisis. These issues become central strategies for design disciplines, and as designers we must not underestimate the contemporary condition but rather make it

Abstract:

Purpose: The problem with the construction industry is inefficient material handling that creates waste in form of unnecessary activities that do not increase the value of the product.

The aim is to find opportunities for improvements to make the material handling on a construction site at deliveries, material storage and material transports more efficient. Method: A qualitative case study of an organisation was carried out to achieve the aim of the report. The methods use
