In the traditional view of project management, if a project manager completed a project and had adhered to the triple constraints of time, cost, and performance, the project was considered a success. Today, in the eyes of the customer and the parent or sponsoring company, if a completed project did not deliver its anticipated value, it would be seen as a failure.
Today's changing economic climate, marked by an increasingly competitive global environment, is driving project managers to become more business oriented. Projects must now be viewed from a strategic perspective within the context of a business or enterprise that needs to provide value to both the customer and the organization itself. As a result, project managers are now required to possess the skills to complete a project within certain specifications, and also know how to create and deliver value.
Responding to the needs of today's project managers, Value-Driven Project Management begins by changing the paradigm of project management. Rather than judge the success of a project from the perspectives of time, budget, and quality, the authors demonstrate why success is only achieved when planned business values are met, including:
# Internal value
# Financial value
# Future value
# Customer-related value
The authors also offer best practices that allow you and your organization to create additional value in efficiency, customer satisfaction, and enhanced products and services. Finally, the book helps you incorporate value into clearly defined business objectives and "sell" the value-driven process to executives.
Throughout the book, helpful illustrations clarify complex concepts and processes.
Assigning valuable resources to projects that don't provide some tangible form of value to the organization and to the client is poor management and poor decision-making. On the other hand, selecting and implementing projects that will deliver value and an acceptable return on investment is effective management and decision-making, but is very challenging, especially when a project may not provide its target value for years to come. With Value-Driven Project Management in hand, you'll discover the tools you need to ensure that projects deliver true value upon their completion.

BS 8110-1997, ACI 318-2000 and IS 456-2000 Codes provide methods for calculating the
short-term deflection, deflection due to Creep effects and Shrinkage effects for beams and oneway
slabs. Though the codes are giving the provision for two-way slabs, as span to depth ratio
for deflection control, much variation exists among them. Deflection calculation with creep
and shrinkage effects is not included for two way slabs

With a view to realization of the full potential of the development of harbour facility in Hambantota and recognition of integrating port development with regional development, a comprehensive consultancy study utilizing consultant having experience in greenfield port construction whose work has been acceptable to international lending agencies is in the final stage.
Port of Hambantota is planned as a Service and Industrial Port and subsequently it could be developed as a transshipment port depending on the increasing cargo volumes.
In view of urgency, short term plan has been prepared for a service port as phase 1 of the project in order to cater for the immediate demands in accordance with the master plan. The Main components are two nos. of berth with 500m length, and the Breakwater of about 1.8 km and the proposed port will have depth of 15m. presently negotiations are being held with Government of China for funding arrangements.
Project Staff
Client -
Project Director - Priyath Bandu Wickrama – Chairman
Dy. Project Director - Agil Hewageegana – Deputy Chief Engineer
Contractor –
China Harbour Engineering Co & Sinohydro Corporation ltd JV
Project Features
Phase 1 of the project will cater for initial requirements as identified in Feasibility Study. The proposed port is planned to have the two breakwater arms on the seaside to ensure the safe navigation and the basin and quay walls within the lagoon called “Karagam Lewaya”, having an access channel across the Hambantota - Colombo main road. The main important feature of this project is the construction of the quay wall and basin in dry condition after constructing a cofferdam along the perimeter. The main parameters of the phase 1 are as follows:
·Design Vessel 100,000 DWT
·Approach Channel Width 210m
·Approach Channel Depth 16m
·Turning Circle 600m
·Quay Length( General cargo) 600m
·Service Quay 105 m
·Oil Quay 310 m
·Depth of Basin 16m
·Cost of the Construction Works US $ 361 million
·Date of Commencement 15th January 2008
·Project Duration 39 months
Brickwork allows the reader to develop their understanding of key subjects by completing the numerous exercises and tests, including multiple choice questions. In addition, each topic begins with a summary of key facts and figures, making this an ideal course text based round core information and assessments rather than reading an extended text. The coverage includes health and safety and basic calculations as well as the technical and practical aspects of brickwork. All students of bricklaying will find this a stimulating and useful revision aid.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING A BREAKTHROUGH OF SIMPLIFIED NON-LINEAR METHODS
info:
Structural response to strong earthquake ground motion cannot be accurately predicted due to
large uncertainties and the randomness of structural properties and ground motion parameters.
Consequently, excessive sophistication in structural analysis is not warranted. For the time
being, the most rational analysis and performance evaluation methods for practical
applications seem to be simplified non-linear procedures, which combine the non-linear static
(pushover) analysis of a relatively simple mathematical model and the response spectrum
approach. In recent years, a breakthrough of these procedures has been observed. They have
been implemented into the modern guidelines and codes. The paper discusses such
procedures. After a brief overview of the methods, the major attention is focused on the N2
method, which has been implemented into the recent draft of the Eurocode 8 standard. The
theoretical background of the extended version of the method, which can be applied for
asymmetric structures, is presented. The similarities and differences between different
methods, the determination of target displacement in the capacity spectrum method, the
problems related to the application of simplified methods to analysis of 3D models, the
approximations and limitations of the simplified inelastic methods, and the direct
displacement-based design are discussed. Although different methods may yield in many
cases similar results, they differ in respect to simplicity, transparency and clarity of theoretical
background. The most important difference is related to the determination of displacement
demand. The use is inelastic spectra is considered to be more appropriate than the use of
highly damped equivalent elastic spectra.
