An introduction to the metric system and its applications in quantity measurements in building construction projects, this reference is tailored to meet the needs of students or busy professionals adapting to metrication in the U.S. as a result of direct involvement in international and government projects.
Features
# Delineates the principles, practices, and techniques involved in estimating building costs
# Examines jobsite overhead costs, often estimated too generally, leading to significant loss for contractors
# Discusses the calculation of general overhead costs to be allocated to the project under consideration
# Includes techniques for estimating job overhead costs, tips for bid preparation, and more
# Supplies a wealth of ready-to-use information and useful tools in the appendices
# Covers contractor costs encountered during construction, especially bonds, taxes, and various types of insurance
Summary
Companies live or die on the basis of estimating their costs. Preparing estimates and bidding for new jobs is a complex and often costly process. There is no substitute for on the job training -- until now. Drawing on the authors' combined experience of more than 70 years, Estimating Building Costs presents state-of-the-art principles, practices, and techniques for assessing these expenditures that can be applied regardless of changes in the costs of materials, equipment, and labor. The book is an efficient and practical tool for developing contracts or controlling project costs.
The authors cover the major components of the direct cost: estimating procedures and cost trends related to materials, construction equipment, and skilled and unskilled labor. They describe various types of building estimates encountered during the lifecycle of a project, as well as the role and accuracy of each. The book provides an overview of the industry, cost indexes in use, approaches to preparing a detailed estimate, and an in-depth description of the organization and function of the estimating group. Including CSI Master Format and UniFormat codes, estimating forms, a list of available estimating software packages, a detailed construction site and investigation report, the book provides a cost estimating methodology that readers can tailor to their own organizational needs.

Author: John D. McDonald | Size: 4.4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: May 30 2007 | pages: 424 | ISBN: 0849373832, 9780849373831
Combining select chapters from Grigsby's standard-setting The Electric Power Engineering Handbook with several chapters not found in the original work, Electric Power Substations Engineering became widely popular for its comprehensive, tutorial-style treatment of the theory, design, analysis, operation, and protection of power substations. For its second edition, this popular progeny rejoins the handbook as one in a set of five carefully focused volumes.
In addition to substantial updates in most areas, this bestselling reference brings to the Handbook its five original contributions, covering such diverse topics as communications, physical and cyber security, and gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL). This edition also includes two entirely new chapters on substation asset management and substation commissioning. Major updates appear in the highly active areas of integration, automation, substation grounding, high-voltage switching equipment, and air- and gas-insulated substations. With contributions by active leaders from around the world, the coverage reflects international standards, practices, and technologies, not limited to those found in North America. In fact, many of the contributors are involved in developing the standards in their area of expertise.
Updated to include the latest developments, trends, and technologies, Electric Power Substations Engineering, Second Edition provides a thorough and up-to-date guide for power engineers at all levels of expertise.

FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
CES-5325 Design of Highway Bridges
Course Parameters
Learning Objectives: This course will provide the student with an overview of the design procedures of highway bridges. The central focus will be the structural behavior of the most common type of bridge in Florida, to wit, FDOT’s slab-on-stringers (AASHTO type girders). Other types of bridges will also be discussed, albeit within the constraints of time. Both computer-based and approximate methods of analyses will be discussed and tested with examples and homework assignments. Modeling of real structures will be shown through US and European bridges.
Instruction will be attempted via the Cambridge University (Trinity College) preceptor method, wherein the student prepares a topic with the help of the instructor, and then presents the material to the critical evaluation of the other students. This method produces a more intense learning experience than traditional lecturing and is a mature test of the student=s growing comprehension of the subject. This will only be attempted with graduate students, and provided the class size is not too large.
Luis A. PRIETO-PORTAR PhD, PE, SE.
Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Qatar National Construction Standards (QCS 2007) is to provide technical guidance in connection with the execution of constructions in the State of Qatar. Such guidance includes the establishment of acceptable material quality and workmanship for those kinds of work which commonly occur in engineered projects in the State of Qatar.
The Qatar National Construction Standards (QCS 2007 ) is approved by standard No. QS 27/2007 replaces the Qatar Construction Specification (QCS 2002) and it supersedes in all respects. While working earnestly to benefit from new engineering developments, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Agriculture requests that all those undertaking capital works projects in the State of Qatar implement the specifications contained herein.
We will welcome any observations, suggestions or additions for future issues.
DOCUMENT HISTORY
The purpose of the Document History is to record changes to the Qatar National Construction Standards. In the event of a revision to the manual, Qatar General Organization for Standard and Metrology issue the amended pages and re-issue the Document History.
The Document History pages should contain a description of the change, the issue reference and the date of issue as noted below. The updated Document History should replace the superseded history and the revised pages of the manual should be placed in the appropriate position in the manual.
