John Wiley and Sons Ltd Project Finance in Construction
Book SynopsisProject finance has spread worldwide and includes numerous industrial projects from power stations and waste-disposal plants to telecommunication facilities, bridges, tunnels, railway networks, and now also the building of hospitals, education facilities, government accommodation and tourist facilities. Despite financial assessment of PF projects being fundamental to the lender's decision, there is little understanding of how the use of finance is perceived by individual stakeholders; why and how a financial assessment is performed; who should be involved; where and when it should be performed; what data should be used; and how financial assessments should be presented. Current uncertainty in financial markets makes many sponsors of construction project financings carefully consider bank liquidity, the higher cost of finance, and general uncertainty for demand. This has resulted in the postponement of a number of projects in certain industry sectors. Governments have seen taTrade Review“Overall, the short book is simple to read and understand.” (Construction Management and Economics, 2012) "This guide is for project managers, students, and academics involved in structuring and assessing project finance."

Springer Nature Switzerland AG From Building Information Modelling to Mixed
Book SynopsisThis book reports on the latest advances in using BIM modelling to achieve the semantic enrichment of objects, allowing them to be used both as multidimensional databases – as comprehensive sources of information for finalizing various types of documentation in the building industry – and as modelling tools for the construction of virtual environments. Having advanced to a new stage of development, BIM modelling is now being applied in a range of increasingly complex contexts, and for various new purposes. This book examines the role that virtual reality and related technologies such as AI and IoT can play in preserving and disseminating our cultural heritage and built environment.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Design of Reinforced Concrete Sections Under
Book SynopsisThis book contains auxiliary calculation tools to facilitate the safety assessment of reinforced concrete sections. Essential parameters in the design to the ultimate limit state of resistance such as the percentage of reinforcement and the position of the neutral axis in concrete cross-sections, as well as the control of the maximum stresses in service limit states are provided by these tools. A set of tables, charts and diagrams used to design cross-sections of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures are supplied. The most current beams and columns cross-sections namely, rectangular, circular and T-sections are considered. These tools have been prepared in line with the provisions of the new European regulations, with particular reference to Eurocode 2 – Design of Concrete Structures. The book stands as an ideal learning resource for students of structural design and analysis courses in civil engineering, building construction and architecture, as well as a valuable reference for concrete structural design professionals in practice.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Calculation Methods and Assumptions.- Implementation of Tables and Design Charts.- Tables.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reinforced Concrete with Worked Examples
Book SynopsisThis textbook describes the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures according to the latest advances both in the field of materials, concrete and steel, and in the field of structural analysis. These advances have been included in current version of Eurocode 2, which is taken as reference. All subjects are presented starting from their theoretical bases and passing to corresponding EC2 formulations. A large part of the book is concerned with the most innovative EC2 parts, like nonlinear structural analyses, second-order effects, punching and strut-and-tie models. The textbook is equipped with numerous worked examples, useful for the reader who is not familiar with the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures by the Limit State Method. Examples have been chosen among the most frequent cases of the professional practice. Thanks to this structure, it can be of interest both to structural designers for their professional training and to students of engineering and architecture schools for their studies. The volume contains twelve chapters, which follow the same structure of EC2, except for chapter 6 (dealing with prestressed concrete structures), which does not match any chapter of EC2, as prestressed concrete is considered in EC2 as a particular case of reinforced concrete, and corresponding formulations are shed over different chapters.Table of ContentsGeneral structural design criteria.- Materials.- Durability and cover to reinforcement.- Structural analysis.- Analysis of second order effects with axial load.- Prestressed concrete.- Ultimate limit state for bending with or without axial force.- Shear and torsion at ultimate limit state.- Punching shear.- Strut and tie models.- Serviceability limit states (SLS).- Detailing of reinforcement and structural members for buildings.- Tables and Diagrams.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Bauablaufplanung und Logistik im Baubetrieb
Book SynopsisEin effektiv geplanter Bauablauf trägt maßgeblich zum Gelingen des Bauvorhabens bei, bringt Einsparungen und Wettbewerbsvorteile. Im Zentrum stehen hier: die Auswahl optimaler Bauverfahren, Planung des Bauablaufs, der Logistik sowie der Baustelleneinrichtung. Wurden Aufträge zu sehr niedrigen Preisen akquiriert, ist akribische Planung für den Projekterfolg ausschlaggebend. Das vorliegende Buch hilft Bauprojekte effektiv zu planen und auszuführen.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen: "… Für eine reibungslose Bauplanung und Bauausführung gibt das Buch … Beispiele, Schemata und Diagramme an. Die Berechnung des Zeitaufwands, des Bedarfs an Arbeitskräften, Baumaterial und -maschinen ist Thema dieses Buches." (in: Der Entwurf (Supplement der Dt. Bauzeitschrift), 2007, Issue November, S. 27)Table of ContentsGrundlagen für Bauablaufplanung und Logistik.- Kennzahlen für Baubetrieb und Logistik.- Richtwerte für Bauablaufplanung und Logistik.- Bauablaufplanung im Baubetrieb — Grobplanung für „Bauwerk-Rohbau“.- Bauablaufplanung im Baubetrieb — Feinplanung für Stahlbetonarbeiten.- Logistik im Baubetrieb — Grobplanung für Bauwerk-Rohbau.- Logistik im Baubetrieb — Feinplanung für die Stahlbetonarbeiten.- Wahrscheinlichkeitsüberlegungen — Berechnung der Dauer.- Regelkreis für die Planung und Steuerung des Bauablaufs.
