Construction projects in all regions continues to be developed for the creation of facilities that can be utilized by the community. One of them is the construction of apartments which are now being intensively carried out to meet residential needs for the community. Making a construction project plan always refers to estimates that exist at the time development plan is made, therefore problems can arise if there is a discrepancy between the plans that have been made and the actual reality. So the impact that often occurs is the delay in the time of project implementation which can also be accompanied by an increase in the cost of implementing the project. In the construction project of Cinere Terrace Suites Apartemen & Citywalk, Jakarta there was a delay resulting in a late payment of monthly bill progress by the owner. Based on the above reasons, this research was conducted to find out how the project performance was seen from the cost and time period of the review period. how is the estimated cost and time to complete the overall project work. The method used in the analysis of this study is the Earned Value Method. Based on the results of the analysis carried out for 29 weeks the project performance on schedule has been delayed and cost shows a positive value. For the estimated completion time of the project there is an increase in time whose duration increases from the planned 98 weeks or 685 days to 109,624 weeks or 768 days. While the estimated cost of completing the project from the results of the analysis obtained a value of Rp. 270,147,448,569.16 smaller than the planned cost of Rp. 315,272,727,272.73. With the difference VAC of Rp. 45,125,278,703.57 this shows that there are benefits obtained by the contractor.

The purpose of this research is to compare both British standard BS 7910 (2013) and American standard API 579/ASME FFS-1 (2016) stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions by considering a series of semielliptical surface cracks located in the external surface of a pressurized hollow cylinder in the axial direction. Finite element analysis was used as a comparison basis for both standards’ SIF results. The solution from the British standard provided consistent results compared to Finite Element (FE) results for crack depth not much higher than half the thickness in the deepest and surface-breaking points. Above those limits, the British standard’s solutions diverged quite a lot from the American standard, whose results followed FE values for every crack depth/thickness ratio tested with a maximum percentage difference of 1.83%.

The research paper focuses on internal forces determination in the elements of modular buildings under wind load. It provides a methodology for determining dynamic characteristics of a building and for calculating wind loads. This method is based on the following assumptions: coupling of the modules elements is rigid; coupling of block-modules with foundations is hinged-fixed; connection of blocks to each other is hinged in angular points; the floor disk in its plane is not deformed. On the basis of these assumptions the authors derived approximate and refined equations for determining forces in modules elements under static and pulsation components of wind load. The equation of bending moments determination in the pillar bearing cross-section is obtained by approximation of the graph of moments variation, calculated for the spectrum of the ratio of the pillar stiffness and the floor beam in the range from 1/64 to 64. The paper further introduces the calculation results of forces based on the proposed methodology and on the finite element method. The calculations were done while taking different values of wind load and different number of storeys in a building (from 1 to 4 floors). The obtained results are similar, the error does not exceed 5%.

This paper contains a wind load and resistance analysis for a type of structure that has frequently failed: partially built houses. The critical component of such structures is identified to be the first-storey shearwalls running across the house. The calculated racking strength of that storey is compared to the wind loading the structure would be expected to resist if it were engineered. Various methods are proposed for builders to provide these structures with more wind resistance during the early stages of construction. Differences between Canadian codes and codes in other jurisdictions with respect to this are pointed out. Key words: wind loads, houses, failure, wind bracing, temporary bracing, shearwalls, fibreboard, sheathing, permanent bracing, racking strength, construction procedures, nailing, building code.

The correlations among wind pressures on roof and walls are examined for the cylindrical roof buildings with different rise-span ratios based on wind tunnel data. Wind-induced dynamic response is also analyzed with a parametric study concerning span length, rise-span ratio, stiffness of supporting frames and connection type between roof and supporting frames, where the roof system is a single-layer cylindrical reticular shell. For both roof and supporting frames, the responses induced by vertical wind loads on the roof and by horizontal wind loads on the walls are investigated. The correlation coefficients of these response components are examined. The results showed that the fluctuating wind pressure on the roof is strongly correlated with the wind pressure on the side wall and the leeward wall, but weakly correlated with the wind pressure on the windward wall. The response of roof and supporting frames caused by the wind loads on the roof is much larger than that of wind loads on the walls. On the bases of a comprehensive parameter study and complete quadratic combination (CQC) rule, a practical simplified combination rule is suggested for estimating response of roof and supporting frames. It is given as sum of response component caused by wind load on roof and that of wind load on walls multiplied with a combination factor of [Formula: see text].

Dynamic wind loads on tall buildings can be decomposed into three components, i.e. two translational components and one torsional component. When one component reaches its maximum, the other two components have low probability to take their maximum values. It is common to use combination coefficients for estimating the mean extremes of linearly combined wind loads. The traditional design practice for determining wind load combinations relies partly on some approximate combination rules and lacks a systematic and reliable method. Based on the high frequency force balance (HFFB) testing results, wind loads can be acquired in terms of time history data, which provides necessary information for the more rigorous determination of combination coefficients by probabilistic methods. In this paper, a 3D copula-based approach is proposed for determining the combination coefficients for three stochastic wind loads associated with a specific exceedance probability and a set of 3D realizable equivalent static wind loads (ESWLs) on tall buildings. Using the measured base moment and torque data by the HFFB wind tunnel test, a case study is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework to determine the dynamic wind load combinations and associated 3D realizable ESWLs on a full-scale 60-story building.

Introduction of developers obligation to raise funds of citizens for construction of residential facilities only with the use of escrow accounts has caused a lot of controversies in the expert community both about the cost of housing for the end user and the viability of the developers, as well as about the future state of the construction industry as a whole. Currently, it is possible to provide both the project financing for the developers in implementing investment and construction projects of the residential real estate and lending with the use of escrow accounts, with the difference that in the second option there is a possibility of selling the construction products from the moment of entry into the investment stage of lending, at any stage of readiness of the object. The article draws conclusions about dependence of the developers viability in the new terms of financing on the escrow accounts filling (paces of sales),on the degree of the facility readiness, on the size of the discount at different stages of the facility readiness.
