Well, the need for a laptop is actually essential for engineers in general, but the fact lies on choosing a suitable one concerning your needs and work.
We all know the intense software we must download, from CAD to Revit that all require specific requirements.
What I have in hand is the following specifications that was made by my friend.
- Core i7 ( 2.0 Ghz )
- 17" inch screen ( I think 15.4" will do the job, but he said working on a 17 inch screen is much better while drawing and drafting)
- 4 GB of Ram ( I do prefere 6 GB )
- 1 GB VGA - ATI
- 640 GB Hard Disk
In this section the design of slab for beam slab portion of part -4 is presented. This portion consist of one-way slabs supported by main beams and secondary beams.
Slab thickness considered are 200
and 300mm.
Analysis and design carried out as per BS 8110.

This book provides the background information necessary to understand delays. This understanding is not geared solely to the context of disputes but rather provides a framework to help prevent disputes from occurring and to resolve questions of time as they arise during the Project.
Delays in construction projects are frequently expensive, since there is usually a construction loan involved which charges interest, management staff dedicated to the project whose costs are time dependent, and ongoing inflation in wage and material prices. Many techniques are used to analyze delays. Some of these methods have inherent weaknesses and should be avoided. This book points out the shortcomings of these faulty methods and explains how a delay analysis should be performed. It then describes specifically how the analysis is done with CPM schedules. A explanation of delays and delay damages, presented in a straightforward, accessible manner, should be useful to public and private owners, construction managers, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, suppliers, and attorneys whose work involves them in the construction industry. The discussion will include subtleties of the process, such as shifts in the critical path, and non-critical delays. The subject of damages is covered in detail, including the major categories of extended field overhead and unabsorbed home office overhead. Likewise, the damages suffered by the owner, either actual or liquidated, are also explained. Finally, a chapter is devoted to managing the risk of delays and time extensions from the viewpoints of the various parties to a construction project. A discussion of early completion schedules and constructive acceleration is also included.
Contents:
Chapter 1, “Project Scheduling,” provides an overview and definitions of basic scheduling concepts and terms that will be referred to throughout the book. It is not intended as a CPM scheduling primer. Rather, it addresses important basic concepts required for using Project schedules. Key elements include float, reviewing and approving schedules, the critical path, and early completion schedules.
Chapter 2, “Types of Construction Delays,” explains the basic categories of excusable and nonexcusable delays and the subcategories of compensable and noncompensable delays. It addresses the concept of concurrency and also non-critical delays. This primer in delays prepares the reader for the specific issues covered in succeeding chapters.
Chapter 3, “Measuring Delays—the Basics,” explains how to approach the analysis, including the starting points of as-planned schedules and as-built diagrams and how one must compare the two in order to quantify the delays that have occurred. The question of liability is addressed separately, since this determination is made most expeditiously after the specific delays have been identified.
Chapter 4, 5 and 6 travel through the actual process of analyzing delays with bar charts, CPMs, and no schedule.
Chapter 7 comments on some of the more common approaches used and the strengths and weaknesses associated with the numerous approaches used in analyzing delays
Chapters 8 through 13, “Damages to the Owner and Contractor”. Since inefficiency and acceleration costs are often time-related issues associated with delay, they have been addressed separately in the hopes that some of the myth and magic that surrounds them may be cleared away. Similarly, the topic of costs associated with noncritical delays has been given special attention, since many projects experience these with little or no recognition of the problem.
Chapter 14, “Determining Responsibility for Delay,” explains the process used to assess the party who caused the delay. The responsibility for delays is addressed separately from the delay analysis because we believe that this is the proper approach to use: first determine the activities that are delayed and the magnitude of the delay and then address responsibility or liability.
Chapter 15, “Risk Management,” could also be called “Prevention of Time-Related Problems,” since it focuses on the delay-related risks of the various parties in a construction Project. By maintaining this focus, each of the parties has a tendency to better control time and resolve delay problems as they occur.
In this new ediion, all chapters are updated to reflect the changes in the construction field since the first edition published over l6 years ago. The 2nd edition includs over 40% more information such as new methods for analyzing delays with examples of the proper approach. The author also includes a new chapter on risk managment which focuses on the delay-related risks of the various parties in a construction project.

Author: Juan de Dios Ortuzar, Luis G. Willumsen | Size: 3.64 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2011 | pages: 606 | ISBN: 0470760397
Providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage, each topic is approached as a modelling exercise with discussion of the roles of theory, data, model specification, estimation, validation and application. The authors present the state of the art and its practical application in a pedagogic manner, easily understandable to both students and practitioners.
This book try to present the most important (in authors views) transport modelling techniques in a form accessible to students and practitioners alike, and attempt this giving particular emphasis to key topics in contemporary modelling and planning:
• the practical importance of theoretical consistency in transport modelling;
• the issues of data and specification errors inmodelling, their relative importance andmethods to handle them;
• the key role played by the decision-making context in the choice of the most appropriate modelling tool;
• how uncertainty and risk influence the choice of the most appropriate modelling tool;
• the advantages of variable resolution modelling; a simplified background model coupled with a much more detailed one addressing the decision questions in hand;
• the need for a monitoring function relying on regular data collection and updating of forecasts and models so that courses of action can be adapted to a changing environment.
Enhancements include two entirely new chapters on modelling for private sector projects and on activity-based modelling; a new section on dynamic assignment and micro-simulation; and sizeable updates to sections on disaggregate modelling and stated preference design and analysis. It also tackles topical issues such as valuation of externalities and the role of GPS in travel time surveys.

Three years ago on "24-Dec-2008" forum.civilea.com was born. Before this date, originally we start our works from "4downloader.blogspot.com" weblog on "12-April-2007" then we immigrate to "4Downloader.veb.ir" then "4Downloader.ir" domain, Finally, during a poll of members, we sellect "CivilEA.com" as our main domain and it was our brand.
With your help we are now here and we are the best civil engineering site at the world. Major contribution to this success is thanks to the their moderators and users.

All our Donors thet help us by his/her donation that help us to buy strong/stable server . I`m thankful from their responsibilities.
Here you can see summary of statics of forum, from beginning up to now: Users:
* I note that registration on CivilEA.com has been closed from Nov-2010 to Jun-2011 and we had not accept any new user also recently registration was closed again.
Threads:
Quantity is not important for us, as you see in this graph, sometimes our thread (and also posts) number was decreased, because we`ll delete any useless posts. we are the best because here is clean.
Posts:
Users of CivilEA where are from?:
******************
this is some statics from forum during these there years, now we are on stable condition, we host on expensive and strong servers that guarantee us uptime and speed.
we have special programs for this year, we want to extend site and give more ability to users that never been seen before.
Can anyone please provide me with the following standard:
BS EN 12311-2:2010 Flexible sheets for waterproofing. Determination of tensile properties. Plastic and rubber sheets for roof waterproofing.
