Abstract
|
| |
Geopolymer is an alternative binder to Portland cement which can contribute to the reduction
of air pollution from OPC production. However the current limitation of geopolymer concrete is
only applicable to precast concrete industry therefore this research was conducted for cast in
situ application. Commercial admixture commonly applied in geopolymer concrete researches
was replaced with sugar based retarder to delay the setting time of fresh geopolymer concrete.
Different curing methods, namely ambient, external exposure, and oven curing were adopted... |

Abstract

In recent years, the "sustainability" in infrastructure projects is a mandatory issue to assure long-
term ecosystem functions, as well as enhancing the quality of life in urban / rural communities.
These values will be achieved through the systematic management of multiple projects
developed in rural areas. Selected infrastructure projects are being implemented by Design
and Build (D&B) procurement system in Sabah (East Malaysia). In these development projects,
45 Bridges in bridge replacement projects are being executed simultaneously by the author's
Design and Build firm... |

Abstract

Petrol Filling Stations (PFS) are amongst those that have high potential of fire hazard due
to their dangerous storage, hence their siting should be carried out properly. Their improper
siting could lead to disastrous consequences during fire and causing pollution to surrounding
soil and underground water should leakage occur to their under storage tanks. In Surabaya
metropolitan, the growth of motor cycle is around 12% per year and the total number of car and
motor cycle is up to 1.6 million, hence the need to establish new Petrol Filling Stations is always
there to add to the 90 stations that have already existed... |

This paper explores the potential of building maintenance as one of many ways to advocate
sustainability in the built environment in particular during the building operation. The first
objective is to provide an overview of the sustainability issues and building maintenance
through literature and theory reviews. The second objective is to analyse building defects in
the Malaysian university campuses. And this is achieved through questionnaire survey. The
questionnaires were administered on 50 university maintenance organizations... |

Malaysia and Indonesia contributed in excess of 100 million tons of waste generated from the
Oil Palm Industry in the form of empty fruit bunch (EFB) and other fibrous waste generated
in the extraction of crude palm oil. A technology was developed and patented to recycle the
waste from EFB, fronds, palm kernel shells, and mesocarp fibers into useful sustainable and
renewable products called bio-briquettes. These wastes has moisture content of 60-70% for
EFB and mesocarp fibre, and 34-40% for palm kernel shell, and calorific value of 5... |

This study evaluates the past and present trends of Behaviour Based Safety in Construction
Industry. The application of BBS in construction industry is very common around the world.
Industries are focusing on reducing costs associated with accidents and injuries of workers.
Most behavioural studies conducted showed that reduction in injuries occur if safe behaviour
becomes more prevalent than unsafe behaviour. Track record showed that 88% accidents in
industries occur due to workers unsafe actions... |

In Malaysia, there are several standart forms of general condition of contract used as formal tools for contractual relationships between the parties in the local construction industry. The purpose of this study is to create a better understanding of the explicit clauses in alternative Standard Forms relating to payment in general and how, in their application, construction contract administration effects efficient project realisation. |

Starting a business in a male -dominated industry is a challenging task for woman entrepreneurs. Hence, this paper aims to assess women involvement in the construction industry. Fifty survey questionnaires were sent to women contractors in yhe northern region of Peninsular Malaysia i.e., Penang, Kedah, Perlis, and Perak. The findings revealed that the majority started with small businesses, which for some of the respondents successfully grew. |

This research investigated the behaviour and the strength performance of the proposed A, B, C AND D-series grouted sleeve connectors for joining precast concrete components. The connectors were subjected to increasing tensile loads until failure. The performances of the connectors were also evaluated in terms of stiffness, yield strength, ductility and failure modes. |

This study investigates the use of varying percentages of steel fibre (0-2%) as volumetric fractions on the high strength flowing concrete (HSFC) to determine the density, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile and static modulus of elasticity. The flexural toughness indices were also determined according to ASTM C1018. The results show that the use of 1.0%, whereas, the use of 1.5% of steel fibre increases the flexural strength by about 42%. |

Abstract

Roof panel system constructed from profiled steel sheeting connected to dry board known as as profiled steel sheeting dry board (PSSDB) by self-drilling, self tapping screws is being proposed as an alternative to the traditional forms of roof construction. In the proposed system, the normal position of the PSSDB system has been reversed. The board plays an important role in providing the flat surface for the roofing system and also to enhance the strength of the panel system. |

This paper discusses on the deformation behaviour of 1½ -brick wide x 5 -course high single leaf walls constructed from three types of Malaysia fired brick using OPS : lime : sand 1 : ½ : 4 ½ mortar designation. The strength of the units used to construct the masonry wall ranged from 20 to 70 N/mm2. The tests were conducted in ambient condition as it was intended tosimulate the condition on site. The results show that creep and moisture movement is approximately inversely related to unit strength as theoretically stated that high-strength units tend to exhibits less creep and lowest expansion to lower-strength units. |

Developing countries generally lack long-term data and have limited terms of reference or empirical data on many areas including the field of engineering design and construction. At present, desugn of roof drainage system are addressed subjectively, on ad-hoc basis, by individual designers using guidelines adopted andadapted from different standards of practice or based on experience. Optimisation of design criteria for roof drainage system is the main objective of this study. The paper present the methodology and implementation of hydraulic design and laboratory investigation on roof drainage system, based onparameters such as foof slope, roofing catchment profile, gutter cross section and gutter slope. |

This article reports part of the results collected from ISO9001-certified companies in the Malaysia constraction industry for a PhD reasearch. Construction industry bad public image because of safety, delay and quality issues. This is due to extreme segmentation and fragmentation of the supply chain, which cause difficulties in managing quality in construction industry. Due to low quality and low productivity, there is a need to implement ISO 9001 quality management system. |
