Abstract: Each year the timber industry develops to obtain more sustainable products, not degrading nature and increasingly renewable, this prominent position, makes growth continuous and necessary for renewal. However, this follow-up still lacks a lot of effective management, so the PDP is an interesting approach to achieving important results in the business of this sector. With the execution of the current state map to analyze the current moment of the company and subsequently use the PDP with aid in Lean You can measure financial results, identify business opportunities and also show other actions of Improvements in other company processes. Thus, the application of the PDP with Lean aid in the timber industry will bring returns as improvements in waste reduction and adding value to this type of activity

Abstract: Presence of expansive soil creates difficulties in construction activities because of swelling and shrinkage properties. This soil is widely found in India, hence stabilization of this soil is essential. Hexagonal mesh is used in Ferro cement concrete technique to reinforce R.C.C. Structures, hence an attempt is made to use hexagonal mesh to reinforce the expansive soil for stabilization. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of inclusion of hexagonal mesh on expansive soil. In this work unconfined compressive strength test, California Bearing Ratio test were conducted on expansive soil.Hexagonal mesh isused for reinforcing the soil by varying the number of layers of hexagonal mesh from 1 to 5.Maximum strength of unreinforced soil is found 4.86 kPa, whereas after inclusion of 5 layers of hexagonal mesh as a reinforcement it is increased to 20.41 kPa.

Abstract: Construction supervision consultants share the responsibility of project success with construction contractors. The support, directions, and timely inspections of completed works helps projects progress as planned. Supervision consultants help their clients address problems and improve upon project performance; Their role is to complement the effort of contractors to ensure a successful completion of a project as planned. To clients, when projects slip over their planned schedule, the supervision consultant may be blamed for not providing expected care to the project. The aim of this research is to identify the relationship between the size of the supervision team and the project progress in large governmental housing projects in Egypt. The Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities of Egypt is currently implementing a mega national program of social housing since 2012. This.......

Abstract: In this study the experimental attempt was carried out to investigate the performance, combustion and emissions by changing the various nozzle holes size of the injector such as (3 hole x Ø0.28 mm), (3 hole x Ø 0.30 mm), (4 hole x Ø 0.28 mm), (4 hole x Ø 0.30 mm), (5 hole x Ø 0.28 mm), (5 hole x Ø 03.0 mm).The experi-ments are performed on Kirloskar 4-stroke single cylinder direct injection diesel engine fueled with diesel and rubber seed oil methyl ester (RSOME) at 1500 rpm, and coupled with electrical dynamometer with the standard injection timing of 23.4° bTDC ( before top dead centre) with an injection pressure of 240 bar kept up invariant throughout the experimental diesel and RSOME work. It is found that Ø 0.28 mm nozzle hole diameter 4 hole gives higher brake thermal efficiency, lower specific fuel consumption, Carbon monooxide, HC, for Diesel and RSOME compared with other nozzle geometry conditions.

Abstract: The performance of the Makassar Paotere port is still low and has an impact on ship service. This study aims to find clarity about the performance of wharf in Paotere Port and solution alternatives for improve performance. The performance of Berth Occupancy Ratio for wharf of Paotere Port is 55% per month. Average value, utilization value for wharf VI as, VII, VIII and IX (GT 100 to 300) = 71.429%. This value is greater than the standard value issued by UNCTAD which is 70%, which means that currently wharf VI, VII, VIII and IX have been unable to serve the flow of ship visits. It was concluded that because the Paotere Port every year experienced a decrease in the flow of ship visits, it was not required to increase the length of the wharf and to improve the performance of the port wharf..

Abstract: The seismic design and evaluation of structures built in petrochemical facilities present a challenging task for the design engineers. The structures found in these facilities can be broadly classified into building structures and nonbuilding structures. The"combination structures" wherein non-building structures such as vessels, exchangers etc. are supported by a steel or reinforced concrete primary structure represents a unique category in the perspective of seismic design. In reality, the seismic behavior of combination structures is mainly governed by the complex interaction between the primary structure and nonbuilding structures. A good understanding of equipment structure interaction is essential in the design of both the nonbuilding structure as well as the primary.........

Abstract: The present paper reviews the literature related to the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Workability and fundamental rheological properties, reversible and non-reversible evolution, thixotropy, slump loss, setting time, bleeding, segregation and practical issues related to formwork filling and pressure, are addressed among the properties of fresh concrete. Among hardened concrete properties compressive strength and other mechanical and physical properties of hardened concrete, such as tensile strength, elastic properties, shrinkage, creep, cracking resistance, electrical, thermal, transport and other properties are covered. Testing, interpretation, modeling and prediction of properties are addressed, as well as correlation with properties of fresh concrete and durability, effects of special binders, recycled and natural aggregates, fiber reinforcement, mineral and chemical admixtures. Special attention is given to the properties of hardened lightweight and self-compacting concrete.
