Book Description
"Adequate construction staffing is critical for performance of highway construction projects. The variable nature of these projects, however, can make it difficult to estimate construction staff requirements for both the short and long term. This study gathered information on the methods being used at highway transportation agencies to forecast staffing requirements. These methods are diverse and range from simple heuristics based on generic project types to multi-variate regression models developed from historical project data. Information for this study was acquired through a literature review, surveys of state transportation agencies, and site visits to non-state agencies. Timothy R.B. Taylor and William F. Maloney, University of Kentucky Department of Civil Engineering, Lexington, Kentucky, collected and synthesized the information and wrote the report. The members of the topic panel are acknowledged on the preceding page. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable with the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand"--Preface.

Advances in Informatics and Computing in Civil and Construction Engineering
Author: Ivan Mutis
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030002209
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 886
Book Description
This proceedings volume chronicles the papers presented at the 35th CIB W78 2018 Conference: IT in Design, Construction, and Management, held in Chicago, IL, USA, in October 2018. The theme of the conference focused on fostering, encouraging, and promoting research and development in the application of integrated information technology (IT) throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction – was established in 1953 as an association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research. The conference brought together more than 200 scholars from 40 countries, who presented the innovative concepts and methods featured in this collection of papers.

State DOT Management Techniques for Materials and Construction Acceptance
Author: Gary Roderick Smith
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309068178
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to state Department of Transportation (DOT) materials and construction engineers; contract, procedure, and specification specialists; construction personnel managers; researchers; and private consultants. The synthesis describes the current state of the practice of state DOT management techniques for materials and construction acceptance, including approaches to inspection and testing. The associated requirements for maintaining adequate qualified personnel to operate the acceptance and testing programs are considered in the information reported. The information was collected by surveying state DOTs and by conducting a literature search. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents background information on the changing role of specifications, quality assurance processes, warranties, material certifications, and personnel management regarding the state of the practice for state DOT management techniques for materials and construction acceptance. In addition, detailed information is presented on personnel issues. The details of materials test methods and statistical quality control procedures are not included in the report. However, discussion of these technical aspects of materials and construction acceptance are included on the basis of their influence on personnel training requirements, and changes in administrative requirements.
