Abstract: The advancements in Information and Communication Technologies have not been fully exploited by industries despite the great potential they offer. A major initiative by the European Commission to establish a single electronic ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical model is developed to determine the torsional-flexural buckling load of a channel column braced by unevenly distributed batten plates. Solutions of the critical-buckling loads were derived for ...

Abstract: Construction method selection, implementation, and improvement (CMSII) is a crucial and difficult task for construction projects, especially for large and complex projects, which often face constraints such as complex ...

Abstract: Negotiation is an important aspect of the construction process. Different negotiation theories and models are available and have been deployed in a variety of situations. In some cases, these have been incorporated into ...
