Accidents Preventive Practice for High-Rise Construction

Scheduling for High-rise Building Construction Using Simulation Techniques

High-rise buildings are commonly built in densely populated countries or urban areas. A balanced floor construction cycle is critical for construction of the frame structures. The objectives in scheduling the floor cycle are to ensure smooth flows of resources and to optimise the use of formwork and other materials. The floor area is usually divided into zones to allow the labour force and form...

Contributing factors in construction accidents.

This overview paper draws together findings from previous focus group research and studies of 100 individual construction accidents. Pursuing issues raised by the focus groups, the accident studies collected qualitative information on the circumstances of each incident and the causal influences involved. Site based data collection entailed interviews with accident-involved personnel and their s...

The resistible rise of preventive medicine.

The politics of preventive health care have changed dramatically in the last fifteen years. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, prevention was the motherhood issue of health care reform. With only the slightest glimmer of controversy, vaccination, promotion of lifestyle changes, mass screening, and safety regulation all became widely accepted strategies for improving health and reducing medical ...

Prediction Model for Hoisting Time Using Luffing-type Crane for High-rise Building Construction

Hoisting planning for systematic and efficient vertical transportation is one of the key factors for successful completion in high-rise building construction. However, despite this importance, minimal research has been carried out for predicting hoist time, which is a key player in hoisting planning. Therefore, this study proposed a prediction model for vertical hoisting time using a luffing-ty...
