Numerical Simulation and Structural Optimization of Composite Rigid Frame Bridge
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A composite rigid frame bridge replaces a certain portion of the concrete middle span of a bridge with a section of the steel girder. While the steel span improves the bending moment distribution of the rigid frame structure, ...
Role of Mixing of Two Bacteria on Compressive Strength, Water Absorption and Microstructure of Mortar Cubes
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Major/minor cracks is inevitable in concrete because of its lower tensile strength and different load and non-load factors. Addition of bacteria in mortar is an emerging concept. Despite the fact that the live cells has ...
Effects of Nano Silica and Basalt Fibers on Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Emission of carbon dioxide gas has been a source of major concern for the construction industry. To curb this emission, geopolymer concrete has been deemed as a potential alternative in the recent studies. Previous research ...
Identification of the Root Causes of Construction Accidents: Method-Related Causes
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Safety in construction is a problem that has been gaining increased attention in recent years. Although lots of research is being done to address different aspects of improving safety, the challenge remains in narrowing ...
Workers' Compensation Modeling Using Multiple Regression
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Workers’ compensation insurance (WCI) is the highest cost to an employer following accidents. It is needed to predict the benefits value without taking into account the past records of an employee, which is not readily ...
Contractor Prequalification Practices in Bangladesh
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Like many developing economies, the construction industry in Bangladesh is vital to its economic development and growth. However, the Bangladeshi construction industry is plagued by unethical practices, sub-standard ...
Feasibility Study for Building Information Modeling (BIM) Education at the Community College
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
With limited time and minimal skill sets of students at the community college, it is challenging to integrate new course material into a two-year degree or technical certificate in Building Construction Management while ...
Organizational Dynamics Leading to the Implementation of Sustainable Design in Building Construction
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
This study focused on construction project organizational dynamics, leading to implementation of sustainable construction. Data were derived from a questionnaire responded by construction industry practitioners. Results ...
Implementing Building Information Modeling (Bim) at AEC Firms in India
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The Indian Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is still at the very infancy stage with the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to improve the design, construction, and facility management ...
Integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Prefarbication: A Boost to Lean Principle Envrionment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Lean construction, adapted from manufacturing, is focused on reducing waste, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. However, its Last Planner System (LPS) lacks the automation needed to manage complex projects. ...
