Quality Construction

Specific critical success factor (CSF) assessment element for tree planting should be produced to monitor construction work in Malaysia. This paper prepared to develop critical success factor for tree planting works in Malaysia. In this study, there were 225 Landscape Architect respondents successfully responded to the survey conducted. The outcome of this paper began with the assessment elements that had to be rated by respondents according to their general assumption on the critical level of each element. Finally, this research establishes a set of critical success factor of tree planting. Keywords: Critical Success Factor; tree planting; quality, construction eISSN 2398-4279 © 2018. The Authors.

Quality Construction

Philosophical concepts, biased toward structural design in seismic regions, are offered. Certain misconceptions in the aims, planning and execution of structural design are sketched. Apparent diverging professional interests, motivating on the one hand young academics dedicated to pursuing challenges in research, and on the other hand those of experienced practitioners, are contrasted. A plea is made to use in seismic design rationality and simplicity in application. The primary aim in the art of structural design should be to impart to the system specific properties that will make the seismic response of our buildings extremely tolerant with respect to earthquake-induced demands, which presently we can predict only with considerable crudeness. A postulated rational and deterministic, yet simple, design strategy should be implemented with equal dedication to high-quality construction. This part of the creative effort is likely to result in properties of the finished product, our buildings, which earthquakes will also recognize and respect. An appeal is made to all those committed to earthquake engineering to engage in active and generous support of technology transfer in an attempt to alleviate the overwhelming and immediate needs of societies in developing countries.

Quality Construction

The purpose of this research was to study the quality and standards of work that influence the operational efficiency of Small and Medium Enterprises in the construction business in Thailand. The data was gathered from 400 construction business entrepreneurs, 342 of which were respondents of an online questionnaire and the other 58 were out of 80 respondents to a questionnaire sent by post. The result revealed that quality and standards of work had effects towards the efficiency of the business. Having been granted permission to do construction from a provincial office of public works was found to affect their benefits and customers’ satisfaction with statistical significance. It was also found that the use of good-quality construction materials and having construction completed on the requested schedule had an effect towards the business’s revenue at the statistical significance level of 0.05.

This paper presents the lime binding forced carbonate-hardening materials properties formation study and determins the stability of these properties during long-term storage and use under normal conditions. The tests showed these materials stability properties over time, confirming the strength and density growth of the test samples after long storage due to the calcium hydroxide recrystallization completion into calcium carbonate processes. Also, the results of the samples carbonate hardening study under natural conditions during 18 months are presented. An efficiency assessment of forced carbonate hardening as one of the methods of recycling technogenic CO2 in order to reduce its emissions in the atmosphere, and, in the result, to obtain high-quality construction materials has been made.
