Bidding Strategy for Building Projects Based on Game Theory
Abstract: The owners of construction projects typically apply a competitive bid process to award a contract to the qualified bidder who submits the lowest price. For the contractors, it is very difficult to decide an optimal mark-up and bid value to win the contract and at the same time to secure sustaining profitability as high as possible. For that, from the various literatures related to the bidding problems, the factors are …

To Study About Use of Plastic Waste in Flexible Road Construction
Abstract: The plastic wastes can be used in road construction and the field tests endured the stress and proved that the plastic wastes used after proper processing as a preservative would enhance the lifespan of the roads and also solve environmental problems. Plastic use in road construction is not new. It is already in use as PVC or HDPE pipe mat passages built by mending composed of PVC (polyvinylchloride) or HDPE …

To Study Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Using Industrial Waste Material
Abstract: Concrete is a very important material with cement, water, aggregate and admixture as contents. Due to increasing pollution and demand of concrete, its production should be environmental friendly. In this study, we emphasize on environment friendly concrete. The proportion of silica fume was as follows: add 3%–15% in interval of 3% by weight of cement in concrete and fly ash was add 5%–25% in interval of 5% by total weight …

Strain-based Fatigue Test of Woven Glass-Epoxy Fabric Composites
Abstract: Strain based fatigue testing of Glass-Epoxy Composite Material in Tension-Tension loading is carried out by using positive load method to evaluate potential crack propagation, fiber fractures, de-laminations, etc. Through continuous stressing in the material, evaluation of life cycle capabilities of glass fiber composites are found which is essential for Research Development, Structural Design, Quality assurance, Modeling and finally Material Specifications. By using an epoxy resin with glass fiber prepared in …
