Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Road to Results: Designing and Conducting Effective Development Evaluations' presents concepts and procedures for evaluation in a development context. It provides procedures and examples on how to set up a monitoring and evaluation system, how to conduct participatory evaluations and do social mapping, and how to construct a "rigorous" quasi-experimental design to answer an impact question. The text begins with the context of development evaluation and how it arrived where it is today. It then discusses current issues driving development evaluation, such as the Millennium Development Goals and the move from simple project evaluations to the broader understandings of complex evaluations. The topics of implementing 'Results-based Measurement and Evaluation' and constructing a 'Theory of Change' are emphasized throughout the text. Next, the authors take the reader down 'the road to results, ' presenting procedures for evaluating projects, programs, and policies by using a 'Design Matrix' to help map the process. This road includes: determining the overall approach, formulating questions, selecting designs, developing data collection instruments, choosing a sampling strategy, and planning data analysis for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method evaluations. The book also includes discussions on conducting complex evaluations, how to manage evaluations, how to present results, and ethical behavior--including principles, standards, and guidelines. The final chapter discusses the future of development evaluation. This comprehensive text is an essential tool for those involved in development evaluation.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "This paper focuses on problems and their causes and cures in policy and planning for large infrastructure projects. First, it identifies as the main problem in major infrastructure development pervasive misinformation about the costs, benefits, and risks involved. A consequence of misinformation is massive cost overruns, benefit shortfalls, and waste. Second, the paper explores the causes of misinformation and finds that political-economic explanations best account for the available evidence: planners and promoters deliberately misrepresent costs, benefits, and risks in order to increase the likelihood that it is their projects, and not the competition's, that gain approval and funding. This results in the "survival of the unfittest," where often it is not the best projects that are built, but the most misrepresented ones. Finally, the paper presents measures for reforming policy and planning for large infrastructure projects, with a focus on better planning methods and changed governance structures, the latter being more important."--World Bank web site.

This book was released on with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2. Density The density of soil and rock materials is essential in understanding their load-bearing capabilities. Bulk density is defined as the mass of the soil or rock per unit volume, which includes both the solid particles and the void spaces between them. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is a measure of density relative to the density of water and reflects the inherent material properties. The relationship between moisture content and density is particularly significant. As water content increases, the density of the material changes, impacting its engineering behavior. Saturated soils will exhibit different properties compared to dry soils, highlighting the importance of considering environmental conditions in classification. 3. Moisture Content Moisture content is the amount of water contained in the soil or rock, expressed as a percentage of the dry mass. It is a critical factor influencing the behavior of both soils and rocks. In soils, moisture affects weight, cohesion, and plasticity. The Atterberg limits, critical for classifying fine-grained soils, define the boundaries of moisture content for various states: liquid, plastic, and shrinkage. In rocks, moisture plays a vital role in weathering processes and can impact the rock’s strength and durability. Saturated conditions may lead to changes in pore pressure, potentially causing instability, especially in cases where excavation or grading is being performed.
