Overview of project scheduling principles available in literature
Integration of scheduling, risk and control
Use of software stimulated (student version available)
Topics based on many research projects and reallife projects
The topic of this book is known as dynamic scheduling, and is used to refer to three dimensions of project management and scheduling: the construction of a baseline schedule and the analysis of a project schedule’s risk as preparation of the project control phase during project progress. This dynamic scheduling point of view implicitly assumes that the usability of a project’s baseline schedule is rather limited and only acts as a point of reference in the project life cycle. Consequently, a project schedule should especially be considered as nothing more than a predictive model that can be used for resource efficiency calculations, time and cost risk analyses, project tracking and performance measurement, and so on. In this book, the three dimensions of dynamic scheduling are highlighted in detail and are based on and inspired by a combination of academic research studies at Ghent University

First, the construction of a project baseline schedule is a central theme throughout the various chapters of the book, and is discussed from a complexity point of view with and without the presence of project resources. Second, the creation of an awareness of the weak parts in a baseline schedule is discussed at the end of the two baseline scheduling parts as schedule risk analysis techniques that can be applied on top of the baseline schedule. Third, the baseline schedule and its risk analyses can be used as guidelines during the project control step where actual deviations can be corrected within the margins of the project’s time and cost reserves.

Title: Worked Examples to Eurocode 2: Volume 1
ISBN:1-904818-84-7
Published: 2010
Publisher: MPA - The Concrete Centre
Description: The aim of this publication is to illustrate through worked examples how BS EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2) may be used in practice to design in-situ concrete building structures. It is intended that these worked examples will explain how calculations to Eurocode 2 may be performed. To download the Errata document for this publication visit

Innovative foundation systems for high-rise buildings
Author: Prof. Hubert Quick, Simon Meissner, Dr. Joachim Michael Prof. Dipl.-Ing. H. Quick × Ingenieure und Geologen GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany Prof. Dr. Ulvi Arslan, | Size: 1.47 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Proceedings of the 1st Intelligent Building Middle East Conference 5-7th, December 2005, Bahrain 1 | Year: 2005 | pages: 9 | ISBN: -
The report presents customary foundation systems for high-rise buildings such as raft and pile foundation as well as the innovative foundation system of combined pile-raft-foundation. Where piles are primarily used to reduce settlements (satisfy the serviceability) and where an adequate factor of safety against failure is provided, the innovative combined pile-raft foundation (CPRF) has been put forward in the past. Furthermore, the possibility of using geothermal energy for example by equipping the piles
adequately will be presented.

These course notes present some theoretical problems related to the Mechanics of a Continuum Solid Body, of particular importance to Applied Geomechanics, Geological Engineering and Structural Geology. In most cases, only static aspects are discussed, but some dynamic cases are also presented.
As a rule, the modern tensorial approach is used. Some basic elements are reviewed at the beginning of the notes. More details can be found into the excellent books of George Backus and Brian Kennett, also available at Samizdat Press. The linear elasticity and the homogeneity of the continuum solid body are almost thoroughly assumed to be valid, but some elements of Rheology are also presented.
In most cases, the semi-inverse method is used to solve the problems. According to it, the solution is supposed to be of a particular form, as a consequence of the simplified hypothesis previously assumed. It is verified that solution checks both the corresponding equations and the boundary conditions. Based on the Uniqueness Theorem of the Linear Elasticity, it follows the assumed particular solution is just the general solution of the problem. In all the cases discussed here, the assumed simplified hypotheses allow one to obtain simple, analytical solutions. At a first glance, the importance of such solutions is minor with respect to the real cases, where mainly the non-homogeneity of the medium plays a great role. However, the analytical solutions are the basis for deriving finite element algorithms, allowing one to model satisfactory the complex real cases. Such examples are also presented.
The author will kindly appreciate any critical remarks on these notes, being very grateful to Samizdat Press for the possibility to shear his work.
