Abstract This article compares consumer protection in the framework of discounts with the constituent elements of such sales and the relevant methods of protecting consumer rights, according to French, Emirati, Jordanian, and Tunisian legislation and judicial practice. The findings shed light on the operation of consumer rights and market protection, and argues that each legal system has developed divergent means to attain the same goal. While some legal systems have organised sales with detailed rules, others have engaged in very limited market intervention; in the latter case, consumers are prevented from enjoying an important set of rights, as consumer rights and market protection are determined by the merchants.

Few studies have been conducted on the constructability or economic feasibility of the coupling of Pre-tensioned Spun High Strength Concrete (hereinafter PHC pile). For this reason, before applying it to actual construction sites, an analysis of constructability and economic feasibility is necessary. Therefore, this study aims to compare the welding method with the high-tension vertical bolt method. It is found that the use of the high-tension vertical bolt method can reduce expenses by 25 percent on average compared with the welding method.
