PREFACE
The construction sector is a major part of the construction industry, with projects ranging
in size from the small to the very large, all sharing common factors - workers, machinery
and materials, and the required organization and control. The graduate civil engineer must be
therefore familiar with the range of these common factors, procedures and techniques in
common use, and must be able to plan, and direct construction works.
This course book will be limited to presentation of basic principles and process techniques
in construction execution. It is intended as an aid and a guide to circumvent some
problems encountered in design and execution, outlining present techniques and materials related
to construction technology for their evaluation and improvement.
The content of this book is arranged in 11 chapters that are summarized below.
Chapter 1. Industrialization of Construction Works, provides an introduction in the field of
Construction Engineering and method of industrialization of construction works.
Chapter 2. Formwork, addresses the design and presents basic information and specifies materials,
construction, and removal of formwork, mouldwork and shoring.
Chapter 3. Steel Reinforcement, provides information and specifies the materials and workmanship
required for manufacturing concrete reinforcement.
Chapter 4. Concrete, provides an overview of conventional concrete technology form material
science and engineering systems perspective – specifically its structure and composition,
processing, properties, performance, and the quality control of it.
Chapter 5. Batching and Mixing Concrete, is devoted to discussing the proper equipment and
procedures for batching and mixing concrete by ensuring uniform quality throughout the mix.
Chapter 6. Building Material Transport Machinery and Equipment, presents relevant information
regarding proper equipment and procedures for handling and transport of building materials.
Chapter 7. Handling and Placing Concrete, presents fundamental concepts in regard of handling
and placing techniques required for cast in place conventional concrete and the quality
control of it.
Chapter 8. Compaction, Vibration and Concrete Finishing, provides a background on the
benefits of compaction of concrete and the techniques for undertaking the process on site.
Chapter 9. Curing Concrete, provides basic information in relation to related concepts of
concrete curing. A review is presented of various curing requirements and techniques for undertaking
the process on site and in precast concrete production plants.
Chapter 10. Off-site Prefabrication, provides information concerning precast concrete, advantages
and limitations, application, techniques and manufacture requirements for different
types of elements.
Chapter 11. Erection of Precast Concrete Elements, presents theoretical back ground regarding
erection of precast concrete units.
The primary object of this first volume, and those which follow, is to provide a reference
guide to Construction Engineering within the framework of the Civil Engineering Department
– English Section of the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest.

PREFACE
The Construction Project Engineering handbook is one of the Construction Engineering’s main references, set up to assist students now enrolled within the framework of the Civil Engineering Department – English Section of the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest.
The purpose of this present handbook is to present fundamental and practical information in the field of plain and reinforced concrete, ensuring that works are undertaken in an orderly manner, as sequence, and follow the required principles of execution.
The handbook covers the whole project cycle for workers, equipment, materials, procedures,organization and quality control for concrete, reinforced concrete and precast concrete, serving as a reference guide for general contractors, construction managers, specialty subcontractors, estimators,project engineers, project managers, construction superintendents, scheduling engineers, sales engineers, or inspectors.
The content of this book is arranged in 6 chapters that are summarized below.
Chapter 1. Concrete Mix Design, addresses the design requirements and methodology regarding selection and proportioning of ingredients for concrete to meet its desired properties for concrete works.
Chapter 2. Rate of Concrete Placement Rough Estimate, presents basic information and specifies simplified means of estimating concrete rate of placement in formwork.
Chapter 3. Concrete Formwork Design, specifies the materials, construction and removal of formwork and shoring made for wood and steel, including fundamental concepts and equations that are used to design and execute them.
Chapter 4. Concrete Maturity, provides an overview regarding concrete maturity determination,outlining current experience in relation to using an effective and rational method in evaluating in-situ concrete strength at different ages.
Chapter 5. Estimates, establishes guidance in describing methods, procedures, and formats for the preparation of construction project cost estimates, from planning phases through modification estimates during concrete construction.
Chapter 6. Concrete Warehouse Structural Frame Erection, provides information concerning planning, detailing, sequencing and erection of concrete warehouse structural frames using precast reinforced and prestressed concrete members.

The second edition of this book offers the most comprehensive treatment of structural masonry currently available. The contents include consideration of the basic concepts of stability and safety of masonry structures, the strength of masonry materials in compression, shear and flexure, followed by chapters on composite action, accidental damage, reinforced and prestressed masonry, arches and the testing of materials.
About the Author
ARNOLD W. HENDRY is Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering in the University of Edinburgh and a Past President of the British Masonry Society. For over thirty years his main field of research was structural masonry and he is the author of numerous papers and book on this subject. He served for many years on national and international committees engaged in the preparation of codes of practice and standards for masonry structures.

Fire Safety Design for Tall Buildings provides structural engineers, architects, and students systematic introductions to fire safety design for tall buildings based on current analysis methods, design guidelines, and codes. It covers almost all aspects of fire safety design that an engineer or an architect might encounter―such as performance-based design, the basic principles of fire development and heat transfer
This book also sets out an effective way of preventing the progressive collapse of a building in fire, and it demonstrates 3D modeling techniques to perform structural fire analysis with examples that replicate real fire incidents such as Twin Towers and WTC7. This helps readers to understand the design of structures and analyze their behavior in fire.
