The Impact

Risk is a condition caused by uncertainty. Risks will occur on any construction project, including bridge construction projects. Efforts that can be taken to minimize the impact of these risks are to engage in risk management activities. This research was conducted on bridge construction work on toll road procurement project in Pejagan-Pemalang, Pemalang-Batang and Salatiga-Kertasura. The purpose of this research is to analyze the risk of bridge development project in toll road project using Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) method and then the result as database in discussing risk response strategy. The bridge construction project has 36 risks that are divided into six groups: materials and equipment, design, human resources, finance, management, nature and environmental conditions. Bad weather risks are the higest risk and seasonal risk causing temporary work stoppages. This risk-response strategy is avoidance. Short-term avoidance response strategy is to add shift workers, install tents and add additives in the acceleration of the process of maturation of concrete. The long-term avoidance response strategy is to evaluate and rearrange the work schedule by considering the weather forecast report.

Rigid Frame Bridge

Aiming to Ronggui Bridge (RGB) on Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Rapid Rail Transit (GZIRRT), long term deformation control of long-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge with ballastless track was studied. Comparing with the non-controlled deformation, extend track laying six months later after bridge construction, reserve 48 post-tensioned cables in middle spans and tension 12 external tendons after tracking laying were all effective in decreasing the long term deformation of RGB with individual application. Taking bridge construction and railway service in consideration, applying the foregoing three measures in combination, deformation of RGB 20 years later after track laying was effectively controlled within 12.8mm in the side spans and 21.9mm in the middle spans, which is less than the deformation limitation of bridges with ballastless track. The combined measure has been adopted in the actual construction of RGB.

This article examines whether women’s representation among senior-level construction jobs increased over time during a long-term, large-scale construction project in Boston, Massachusetts, and whether enactment of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has fostered support and connection to construction career opportunities for women in this metropolitan area. Results show that the proportion of hours worked by women in senior-level positions on the project was relatively high for a few years, followed by a general decline across all job types, and the WIA did not significantly enhance opportunities for women in construction.

Little is known about the behavior of offshore dolphin populations. Our purpose was to distinguish and describe stable social groups of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) between inshore and offshore West End, Grand Bahama Island (26°42'N, 79°00'W). Photoidentification was conducted from May to September, 1994 to 1996. A simple ratio index described association patterns between dolphins. Multidimensional scaling of association indices (n = 1711 dolphin pairs) distinguished two dolphin communities consisting of 28 dolphins (19 of known sex) found inshore and 15 dolphins (12 of known sex) found greater than or equal to 27 km offshore. Eight of the 15 offshore dolphins were opportunistically photographed in the same region between 1986 and 1990. The two communities were found at different water depths (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.01), over distinct bottom types (Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.01), and used different bottom-foraging strategies. Long-term site fidelity of up to 10 years and repeated dolphin associations of up to 8 years occurred greater than or equal to 27 km from shore. Dolphins sighted greater than or equal to 15 times averaged 48 associates (SD = 11, n = 28). A dolphin's closest associate was of the same gender 74% of the time. This study is the first to report long-term site fidelity and association patterns of bottlenose dolphins found far from shore.

These days delay in development are the most significant issue in construction industry in India. It is second biggest industry after agriculture in India for the improvement of an economy. Delay in development projects is considered one of the most common issues causing a large number of negative impacts on the development projects. Construction delays can be minimized just when their cause are distinguished. The goal of this investigation was to identify the major reasons for construction delays. It is consistently helpful that a Project complete on time effectively. Unfortunately because of different reasons, enormous number of development projects fails to follow the arranged schedule and hence delayed in project. This paper presents the reasons for delay occurring on a progressing bridge construction project a case study.
