Program Evaluation and Review approach (PERT) is a undertaking network analysis approach used to plan and control large building undertakings. PERT focuses on the relationship between the time each activity takes, the costs for each activity and the resulting time and cost for the expected completion of the entire construction undertaking. This helps in understanding […]
Cavitation damage to concrete structure surface is most common in case of spillway in dams. Cavitation damage leads to cracks on the concrete surface.
Proper understanding of the causes behind water leakage in concrete is necessary for designers and site engineers to incorporate the preventive measures. Several factors, like the use of poor-grade
Organization Breakdown framework (OBS) can be defined as a framework or hierarchical representation of different roles within an organization, their responsibilities, and accountability. OBS can be implemented as a tool to manage the authorized work defined within the scope statement of the project. Several entities serve different purposes in building projects and therefore having an
High-early-strength concrete can be developed using ordinary concrete constituents, special admixtures, and certain concreting practices. The high-early-strength concrete, which is also called fast
Planning, scheduling is an crucial part of the building administration. Planning and scheduling of building activities helps engineers to complete the project in time and within the budget. The term ‘construction’ does not only denotes physical activities involving men, substances and machinery but also covers the entire gamut of activities from conception to realization of
Accelerated Curing Method is used to get early high compressive strength in concrete. This method is also used to find out 28 days compressive strength of concrete in 28 hours. (As per IS 9013-1978
Planning is the first step of construction undertaking management philosophy of planning, organizing and controlling the execution of the undertakings. Construction undertaking planning and undertaking scheduling is two separate and distinct function of the undertaking management. Here, we will learn about the planning phase of undertaking management. Then this master plan is put into time
Abrasion resistance of concrete is one of the measures of its durability. The concrete surface deteriorates due to abrasion by sliding, scraping, percussion, or action of abrasive materials carried
Concrete has excellent durability; that is why it is the most widely used construction material. However, design and construction practices, material limitations, and exposure to severe weather con
