<strong>Abstract:</strong> This study intends to shed more light on the impact of procurement on project performance and quality of road construction projects in Zambia, focused on the city of Kitwe to be specific. It is of great value to conduct a detailed study on the impact of procurement on project performance as procurement is the backbone of project performance. The research makes use of theories and models to analyze the information obtained from project documents, and also semi structured interviews in order to shed light on the relationship between procurement, project performance and

Abstract:

Kenya has seen a boom in road building during the last couple of years as a result of the government's significant investments in the construction industry to upgrade infrastructure, such as road networks. Road network construction is one of the key pillar of the country long term vision 2030. However, the performance of the road projects has experienced various challenges leaving some roads uncompleted, others poorly done after huge investment of public resources. This study sought to evaluate the influence of financial resources scheduling on the performance of road construction projects in

These functions predict the number of road crashes at the different roadway elements and apply to all project phases.

Abstract:

Due to insufficient funds to implement all candidate road infrastructure projects, there is a need to efficiently utilize available funds and select candidate projects that maximize performance criteria decision-makers. This paper proposes an incremental benefit–cost analysis (IBCA) framework to prioritize low-volume road (LVR) projects that maximize road network accessibility considering project cost and network accessibility requirements. The study results show that the accessibility benefits of road projects depend not only on their cost requirements but also on their spatial locations in t

Abstract:

Uganda's road construction industry has experienced growth over time because of increased budget allocations. Although the industry has dramatically improved, projects are still experiencing challenges, including but not limited to cost overruns, time overruns, incompetent staff, poor designs, site-related challenges, inadequate resources, low innovation and shoddy work. These are the factors affecting the performance of road projects in Uganda. Therefore, as a way to address the mentioned issues and improve the road construction industry, this paper, through the literature review, looked at t

Abstract:

One of the infrastructures that society absolutely needs is roads. With the existence of roads, land transportation activities are carried out so that economic and social mobility runs normally. Concrete is one of the materials commonly used for road pavements, where this material technology has many advantages such as being able to withstand heavy vehicle loads and lower maintenance costs. To produce quality concrete roads, the role of the manager who leads the concrete road construction project is very decisive. To produce a quality concrete road, a manager must be able to determine indicato

Abstract:

Despite significant advancements in road infrastructure, the Tanzania gravel roads (GR) network continues to face challenges, with a staggering 65 percent of the network still remaining in poor condition. Hence, this paper examines the impact of value engineering (VE) implementation on the overall maintenance performance of gravel road maintenance projects in Tanzania using a partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling approach. The results revealed a strong positive relationship between VE principles implementation and the overall performance, accounting for 83.3% of the variance

The quality performance of road improvement and road development projects in Aceh Province has always been highlighted by various elements of society. This is due to the occurrence of the damage that the age of the plan has not timed. It is also often found quality mismatch so that road construction must be dismantled and reworked. This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence between the factors that contribute to the quality performance of road construction projects, and to identify the dominant factors affecting the quality performance of road construction projects in Aceh Provi

Abstract:

The performance of sustainability in infrastructure projects continues to face challenges in its implementation and attainment in developing countries, one of which is the lack of appraisal tools and indicators for the assessment of sustainability. Studies indicate that there are no formal indicators for sustainability assessment on road infrastructure projects in Tanzania, the lack of which limits the determination of whether projects implemented are sustainable or not. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the key sustainability assessment indicators used for road infrastructure project

<strong>Abstract:</strong><em> </em>In Kenya, county governments have financed road construction projects that have taken longer to complete than anticipated, with most of them going over budget and providing work of lower than expected quality. In Embu, some road construction projects have stagnated, while others are dropped before they can be completed successfully. There is an opportunity cost associated with this situation since taxpayer money was wasted when it could have been put to better use supporting the expansion of Kenya's economy overall.  Concerns have also been raised regar

Abstract:

Road construction in high standard farmland construction projects has always been the focus of project construction. Mud stone road construction is often used in the tableland area. Due to the impact of rainfall scouring, mud stone roads are often damaged. As a new high-performance curing agent that can optimize and improve the soil, the new soil curing material can ensure that the strength of the subgrade can be effectively enhanced, facilitate the smooth implementation of the construction link, and maximize the quality and efficiency of road construction, which has a good promotion value.
