Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction Equipment and Methods: Planning, Innovation, Safety fosters engineers who are information literate and able to approach complex engineering and managerial problems with confidence and skill. Students of this text will fully appreciate the practical aspects of being a construction engineer and manager, the dual nature—both technical and managerial—of the responsibilities. The text helps build these skills through: a cohesive view of construction technology, its safe use to maximize productivity, and how the principles of science are being applied; linking the material in this course to their previous courses (such as statics or geotechnical engineering); and pedagogy designed to promote knowledge, and skill acquisition, such as case studies and open-ended problems. Students will be engaged by relevant subject matter, informed by the author’s hands-on research in advanced technologies, mechatronics, robotics, ergonomics/safety, etc.The wide variety of pedagogical devices in the text will appeal to all different learning styles, and provide teachers with more opportunities and resources to get students to reflect about what they are learning, to connect the new to their past experiences, and to understand its relevance to their future.

Download or read book Can Measurement Error Explain the Weakness of Productivity Growth in the Canadian Construction Industry? written by Peter Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract According to Statistics Canada productivity estimates, the rate of growth of real output per hour in the construction industry in Canada over the 1981-2006 period was 0.53 per cent per year, one-third of the of the business sector average. [...] Objective The objective of this study is to assess the reliability of the official Statistics Canada productivity estimates for the construction industry in light of the industry perspective that there have been significant labour productivity gains in the industry. [...] The evidence suggests that Statistics Canada is overestimating the increase in the prices of goods produced by the construction industry, because it is using deflators based on the cost of inputs instead of the price of outputs. [...] A number of studies have found significant productivity gains for many tasks in the construction industry, a result that appears inconsistent with the weak aggregate productivity gains in the sector recorded by Statistics Canada The objective of this study is to assess the reliability of the official Statistics Canada productivity estimates for the construction industry in light of the industry pe [...] Then specific issues that could potentially impact the measurement of productivity in the construction industry are examined including the underground economy, the deflation of nominal output, and the use of prework (prefabrication, modularization, and preassembly) in the industry.

Download or read book Analysis of Building Sector Construction Productivity Trends in North America Between1995 and 2009 written by Hani Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 2001 study, Paul M. Goodrum examined the impact of equipment technology on productivity in the U.S construction industry between 1976 and 1998. This research and its results have been included in a larger discussion about productivity trends in the U.S, since then. The objective of this research is to extend the Goodrum study to the period between 1995 and 2009, so that further insight into long term trends and effects can be obtained. The study begins with a brief review of the research that has been completed in the last ten years with respect to the analysis of construction productivity trends in the U.S., Canada, and other developed countries. Then the study examines the characteristics common to all construction projects and factors affecting construction productivity, because an accurate understanding of the correlation between these factors will lead to improved productivity. A statistical significance test (t-test) is used as a method of measuring the validity of the observed changes in productivity between 1995 and 2009. The main finding of this research is that there is a slight improvement in partial factor productivity in the United States between 1995 and 2009 as measured using the Means estimating manuals while the labor productivity remains almost the same between 1995 and 2009. Through statistical significant test (t-test), it is found that the construction partial factor productivity have changed significantly between 1995 and 2009. Finally, samples of construction typical projects were taking as an example to show how the mentioned productivity improvements will affect the construction industry in the United States. The result of this study can be used as a guideline for planners, decision makers, owners, engineers, and contractors to develop insight with respect to the challenge of improving productivity in the North American construction industry. The implementation of the findings of this study will also be helpful for any specific project, because the duration of the project can be decreased and the productivity of the construction increased. The research provides some recommendations which may assist others who are interested in working in this area.

This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of the relationship between labour and the built environment, and synergises these critical focus areas in innovative ways. This unrivalled edited collection of chapters analyses problems and presents possible solutions related to the employment and conditions of workers in the construction industry. It provides comprehensive coverage of the relationship between the global workforce and the built environment and is divided into four topical areas: how labour and the built environment relate to development; employment generation in the built environment; quality of employment in the built environment; and the impact of the built environment on labour in other sectors. Underpinning the entire book is the premise that the way the built environment is produced, and its main products – buildings, cities and towns – have an impact on large numbers of workers. At the same time, the quality of the built environment requires construction workers who are well trained and with good working conditions. While cities and towns are the engines of economic growth, they will not be able to fulfil their economic potential if poverty in the workforce is not addressed. Those who are unemployed, underemployed or work in unfavourable conditions cannot fully contribute to production, and at the same time are limited in their ability to purchase goods and services – therefore limiting economic growth and restricting improvements in their living standards. In addition, investments in infrastructure, housing and inner-city redevelopment cannot be sustainable if labour issues – i.e., poverty – are not addressed. This book aims at analysing this complex set of issues comprehensively and will be essential reading to a wide range of researchers across the interdisciplinary intersections of construction, business and management, economic development, urban studies, sociology, political science and project management.

Download or read book China’s Productivity Convergence and Growth Potential—A Stocktaking and Sectoral Approach written by Min Zhu and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s growth potential has become a hotly debated topic as the economy has reached an income level susceptible to the “middle-income trap” and financial vulnerabilities are mounting after years of rapid credit expansion. However, the existing literature has largely focused on macro level aggregates, which are ill suited to understanding China’s significant structural transformation and its impact on economic growth. To fill the gap, this paper takes a deep dive into China’s convergence progress in 38 industrial sectors and 11 services sectors, examines past sectoral transitions, and predicts future shifts. We find that China’s productivity convergence remains at an early stage, with the industrial sector more advanced than services. Large variations exist among subsectors, with high-tech industrial sectors, in particular the ICT sector, lagging low-tech sectors. Going forward, ample room remains for further convergence, but the shrinking distance to the frontier, the structural shift from industry to services, and demographic changes will put sustained downward pressure on growth, which could slow to 5 percent by 2025 and 4 percent by 2030. Digitalization, SOE reform, and services sector opening up could be three major forces boosting future growth, while the risks of a financial crisis and a reversal in global integration in trade and technology could slow the pace of convergence.

Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

We reached that conclusion after reviewing recent research on the role of technology as a source of economic fluctuations. The bulk of the evidence suggests a limited role for aggregate technology shocks, pointing instead to demand factors as the main force behind the strong positive comovement between output and labor input measures.
