Authors: Xiao Li Guang , Li Rui Bo , Zhang Shi Ting , Hu Hong Liang
Published: June 2012

Because the fly ash will produce large amounts of the secondary waste emission after the extraction of aluminum, the utilization of the fly ash residue after the extraction of aluminum has great significance. The autoclaved fly ash bricks studied in this paper use CFB ash residue after extraction of aluminum as the main material, and calcium carbide clay which consists mainly of calcium hydroxide is the waste residua of the production of acetylene gas in the chemical plants. This paper analyzes the chemical composition, the mineral composition and the microstructure of the fly ash residue after extraction of aluminum. In the paper, we also study the law and impacts of compressive strength, flexural strength, frost resistance and water absorption, which are made by calcium carbide clay for the autoclaved fly ash bricks. Experimental results illustrate that calcium carbide clay can significantly improve the compressive strength, the flexural strength and the frost resistance of the coal fly ash autoclaved bricks, and significantly reduce its water absorption.

Authors: Dong Jin Qiu
Published: June 2012

The mechanical properties and toughening mechanism of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) with different fibers proportion ranging from 0 to 2.5 kg/m3 were tested in the experiment. The results show that the basalt fiber has little effect on the compressive strength of BFRC, but it can improve the impact toughness of BFRC significantly. Taking impact toughness as criterion, BFRC with 0.36% basalt fiber would be the best choice. The energy absorption characteristic of BFRC with different fibers dosages increases by 1.4~3.1 times than that of plain concrete when it is ultimately destroyed. Basalt fiber provides a secondary micro-reinforced system to BFRC when added into cement matrix. BFRC specimens show multi-cracking characteristics in the failure process, and the vice crack near the main crack is clearly observed while the final destruction.

The samples were prepared to study the influence of pH on the formation and stability of thaumasite using Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction to analyze the composition of the samples. The erosion solutions with the pH arranged from 9.5 to 13.5 prepared by sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide and 5% sodium sulfate. The experimental data for three years has been given in the paper. The result of the research indicates that the value of pH at 10.5 is the optimum pH for the forming of thaumasite and when the pH comes up to 11.5, thaumastie can form but it will decompose in the solution.

Delays in a construction project can be regarded as a failure. This paper aims to investigate the causes of delay in Indian construction projects undertaken by private, government and nongovernmental organizations. In view of this 45 causes of delay were identified and developed the questionnaire for the quantitative confirmation of the most causes of delay. Consequently the questionnaire was distributed to construction professionals like Managers, Engineers and others. Subsequently the collected data was analyzed using statistical tool and the factors were measured and ranked under each group by importance index for various construction professionals. The results suggest that delays are mainly due to shortage of labours, shortage of construction materials and extra works (rework and change orders). The resources like manpower and materials are having highest contribution of about 24% compared to other sources. However this paper presents recommendations for a better project management techniques & procedures which can be adopted during conceptual & detailed planning phases of the project in order to minimize the construction delay.
Construction Multi-Project Scheduling Model Considering Different Resource Allocation Behavior
Authors: Liu Shu Shun , Chen Wei Tong
Published: June 2012

According to previous researches, an investigation through small to mid-size construction contractors showed that 84% of construction contractors execute their projects in a multi-project environment. In a multi-project environment, scheduling problems with resource constraints are much more complicated than those in a single project. One of the most important factors that influence multi-project scheduling problems is resource allocation policy, depending on the types of resources, which can be defined by the way of resource acquisition and sharing behavior. This paper discusses resource allocation mechanism for construction multi-project scheduling issues, and then presents an optimization-based model to resolve resource allocation problems. This research developed a CP-based (Constraint Programming) model, which is capable of handling different optimization objectives such as minimizing total cost, overall project duration, subject to resource assignment combinations for each activity. Based on research results, the influence of different types of resource quantity on multi-project duration is discussed. Moreover, resource competitive behavior among all projects is recognized. It concludes that the effective increment of critical resources can reduce overall project duration. The major goal of this research is to find the relation among duration-cost-resource in a multi-project environment, and provide systematic information for construction parties when making resource allocation decisions.

In order to guarantee the cooperation between behavior subjects and the highest efficiency in cooperative strategy, collaborative approaches or authority ways can be taken to design the system of behavior right configuration. The key point of cooperation among construction project subjects lies in the reflecting on the individual interest of behavior subject from overall cooperation surplus. The behavior right configuration system can adjust the distribution of overall cooperation surplus to realize the cooperation and the optimal overall benefit of the construction project, and finally achieves the win-win cooperation.

Aimed to the social risk appraise of construction project, the qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the theory and empirical research methodologies are used in this paper, and taking a Demolition and Relocation Project of Guangzhou as the Study Case. Based on questionnaire investigation and depth interview to the samples of reference groups in this project, the potential social risk and the real appeals of the reference groups are described systematically and objectively in this paper. In the mean time, the SPSS software is used to analyses the statistical data. Finally, focused on above analysis, the relevant suggestions to prevent the social risk are proposed. Appraising conclusion shows that most sensitive people, within the scope of demolition, agree on the quasi decision-making matters on the construction project, and at least, they are not opposed to it. However, there are several practical issues to which we need to pay close attentions and to require proper solutions. Before these issues are solved, suspending the demolition is suggested.
