Overview
Mounting emphasis on construction supply chain management (CSCM) is due to both global sourcing of materials and a shortage of labor. These factors force increasing amounts of value-added work to be conducted off-site deep in the supply chain. Construction Supply Chain Management Handbook compiles in one comprehensive source an overview of the diverse research and examples of construction supply chain practice around the world.
Reflecting the emergence of CSCM as an important area of multi-national research and practice, this volume takes an interdisciplinary perspective with contributions from leading international authors in three major areas: production and operations analysis, organizational perspectives, and information technology. The book begins with a survey of the current literature on modeling construction supply chain production and describes a set of approaches and methods for designing and operating project supply chains with references to design and materials production. It provides the basic framework for understanding the challenges and approaches to representing and improving supply chain performance.
The next section recognizes the importance of considering arrangements between the different firms involved in designing, procuring, and assembling construction, and reviews various perspectives to understanding and improving organizational issues in the supply chain. The final section provides an overview of a range of information technologies that can contribute to supply chain performance, as well as examples of effective use.
The organization and sourcing of materials is increasingly complex across the global construction industry. Construction clients are demanding faster, more responsive construction processes and higher quality facilities. This volume provides an invaluable resource to understanding the implications of supply chain management, which is sure to result in more effective construction project execution.

The construction industry is subject to more risk and uncertainty than perhaps any other industry. Yet, surprisingly, managerial techniques used to identify, analyse and respond to risk were not applied in the industry until the 80's. Existing texts deal with the theoretical concepts of risk and the techniques that identify and manage it. This book provides a set of tools that enable these management techniques to be put into practice in the construction industry.

This book has been developed through the author's teaching of a course in Reinforced Concrete Design at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. The examples are graded, leading from an appreciation of reinforced concrete behaviour, through the design of structural elements, to the analysis of a reinforced concrete structure. The student's understanding of the calculations is deepened by the "Notes on Calculations" while the Introductory" and "Concluding" notes set each example in a wider context. Hence, in this book, design principles are reinforced through practice, with guidance from notes.

Modulus of rupture:
fcr=0.7 √fck --IS-456 fck in N/mm2.
Fcr=0.623√f’c—ACI Code .
Use of lower value of fcr will result in more conservative (lower) estimate of cracking moment.
For rough estimation of reinf. Steel in construction projects following thumb rules may be adopted:
SLAB 50 TO 80Kg/m^3 of concrete.
Sunshade 50 Kg/m^3 of concrete.
Lintels 80Kg/m^3 of concrete.
Beams 100TO 150 Kg/m^3 of concrete.
Columns 150 to 225 Kg/m^3 of concrete.
Footing slab 80Kg/m^3 of concrete.

Foster Associates was established by Norman and Wendy Foster in 1967 after several years of working with Richard Rogers. Perhaps best known internationally for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the firm has worked recently in the UK, Japan, France, Germany and Spain. Having received over 50 awards and commendations for outstanding architectural design, there has continued to exist a passionate belief in modern architecture and the adaptation of technology to meet human needs. The work presented in this volume covers an enormous range of recent, diverse projects and also illustrates a number of unrealised projects.
