Author(s)/Editor(s): OCTAVIAN G. ILINOIU | Size: 9 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest | Year: 2003 | pages: 138 PREFACE The construction sector is a major part of the construction industry, with projects ranging in size from the small to the very large, all sharing common factors - workers, machinery and materials, and the required organization and control. The graduate civil engineer must be therefore familiar with the range of these common factors, procedures and techniques in common use, and must be able to plan, and direct construction works. This course book will be limited to presentation of basic principles and process techniques in construction execution. It is intended as an aid and a guide to circumvent some problems encountered in design and execution, outlining present techniques and materials related to construction technology for their evaluation and improvement. The content of this book is arranged in 11 chapters that are summarized below. Chapter 1. Industrialization of Construction Works, provides an introduction in the field of Construction Engineering and method of industrialization of construction works. Chapter 2. Formwork, addresses the design and presents basic information and specifies materials, construction, and removal of formwork, mouldwork and shoring. Chapter 3. Steel Reinforcement, provides information and specifies the materials and workmanship required for manufacturing concrete reinforcement. Chapter 4. Concrete, provides an overview of conventional concrete technology form material science and engineering systems perspective – specifically its structure and composition, processing, properties, performance, and the quality control of it. Chapter 5. Batching and Mixing Concrete, is devoted to discussing the proper equipment and procedures for batching and mixing concrete by ensuring uniform quality throughout the mix. Chapter 6. Building Material Transport Machinery and Equipment, presents relevant information regarding proper equipment and procedures for handling and transport of building materials. Chapter 7. Handling and Placing Concrete, presents fundamental concepts in regard of handling and placing techniques required for cast in place conventional concrete and the quality control of it. Chapter 8. Compaction, Vibration and Concrete Finishing, provides a background on the benefits of compaction of concrete and the techniques for undertaking the process on site. Chapter 9. Curing Concrete, provides basic information in relation to related concepts of concrete curing. A review is presented of various curing requirements and techniques for undertaking the process on site and in precast concrete production plants. Chapter 10. Off-site Prefabrication, provides information concerning precast concrete, advantages and limitations, application, techniques and manufacture requirements for different types of elements. Chapter 11. Erection of Precast Concrete Elements, presents theoretical back ground regarding erection of precast concrete units. The primary object of this first volume, and those which follow, is to provide a reference guide to Construction Engineering within the framework of the Civil Engineering Department – English Section of the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest.
