Life Cycle Costing for Construction
Author: J.W. Bull
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113569785X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
The construction industry is becoming increasingly aware of the need to adopt a holistic approach to the design, building, and disposal of structures. With 60 per cent of the total construction budget in most developed countries being spent on repair and maintenance, there is an obvious need to design for reliability and durability, with more carefully planned maintenance and repair schedules. One important facet is to look at how costs are distributed and spent during the lifetime of a structure: an approach known as life cycle costing, which has the ultimate aim of minimising total lifetime expenditure. As an example, choosing an inexpensive coating for steelwork may require maintenance every three years, whereas a coating which is more expensive may require repairing only once per decade. It is a question of balance - taking the lifetime costs of the structure into consideration. This new book provides an insight into how whole life costing is affecting our approach to designing, building, maintaining and disposing of structures. The book is written for consulting engineers in the fields of civil and structural engineering, building designers, architects, quantity surveyors, refurbishing specialists, as well as practising civil and structural engineers engaged in planning, design, construction, repair and refurbishment of structures.

Road Building in the Tropics
Author: R. S. Millard
Publisher: Bernan Press(PA)
ISBN:
Category : Civil engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Devising methods of design and construction to provide an effective road system suitable for the needs of tropical countries has proved difficult, and considerable research has been necessary to understand the nature of the materials available and the behaviour of the road structures themselves. This book has been written on behalf of the Overseas Centre of TRL to provide a comprehensive source of information for engineering students and highway engineers practising in hot, tropical countries. The first part deals with tropical soils and roadbuilding materials, describing their formation, characteristics and methods of testing. The second part describes the methods used to design and build roads, and includes chapters on all types of pavements, including both concrete and unpaved roads.
