This is the first post-Egan book to look at benchmarking and KPIs (key performance indicators) in the construction industry.
Benchmarking is one of the key management techniques the construction industry now needs to adopt if it is to meet challenging new efficiency and productivity targets as well as clients' demands for best value. Contracts are increasingly being awarded only to contractors who can demonstrate the lean construction practices that come with benchmarking.
This authoritative and accessible book:
* clarifies the thinking behind benchmarking and why firms must now adopt it
*shows how to set up effective benchmarking
*explains the theoretical background and offers clear, practical guidance
*demonstrates best practice though reference to case studies.
There are nine case studies describing the use of KPIs and the application of the EFQM excellence model - including contributions from Morrison and John Mowlem

Hello,
I`m searching for EN standards: EN 13286-40, Unbound and hydraulically bound mixtures: Test method for the determination of the direct tensile strength of hydraulically bound mixtures, and some EN standard for determination of freeze/thaw resistance of hydraulically bound mixtures or concrete.
Hi guys,
I would like to share the direct links related to original publications of the well-known hysteresis rule, so-called Modified-TAKEDA. This hysteresis rule is mostly used to accommodate the Bauschinger's effect of RC member performance due to cyclic load reversals. The following publication could be very useful for those who want to study further or programming the algorithm inside the black-box of Modified-Takeda hysteresis rule. Unfortunately, I could not find the original article of Takeda rule that published in "Journal of the Structural Division, ASCE, Vol. 96, No. ST12, December 1970, pp. 2557-73".
Modified-Takeda hysteresis rule by Otani (1974)
- a bilinear and degrading stiffness model
