Construction Equipment Management
Author: John E. SchaufelbergerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351117459
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
This revised and updated edition of Construction Equipment Management fills a gap on this subject by integrating both conceptual and hands-on quantitative knowledge on construction equipment into a process that facilitates student learning. The first six chapters summarize interdisciplinary concepts that are necessary to ground students' learning on construction equipment management, including both engineering and economics. Each of the next 16 chapters covers a different type of construction equipment and associated methods of use. The final chapter introduces the more advanced concept of operation analysis. This allows the book to be used on numerous courses at different levels to prepare graduates to apply skills on construction equipment when planning for a new project, estimating its costs, and monitoring field operations. Organized around the major categories of construction equipment, including both commercial and heavy civil examples, case studies, and exercises, this textbook will help students develop independence in applying concepts to hands-on scenarios. A companion website provides an instructor manual, solutions, additional examples, lecture slides, figures, and diagrams.

Book Description
This book guides readers in planning, estimating, and directing construction equipment operations toward achieving the best possible result. Every effort is made to present such advanced management techniques as quantitative management methods, queuing theory, and system simulation in a way that can be easily understood and used by those with little background in higher mathematics or operations research. Coverage features new chapters on compressed air and water systems, lifting equipment, and the production of aggregate, concrete, and asphalt mixes as well as expanded discussions of more traditional topics, including compaction equipment and techniques, construction safety and environmental health, loaders, pavement repair and rehabilitation, quantitative management methods, the rent-lease-buy decision, rock excavation production and cost, roller compacted concrete, the simulation of construction equipment operations, soil stabilization, and trenchers and trenchless technology. For construction and construction equipment managers and engineers.
Construction Equipment and Methods
Author: Leonhard E. BernoldPublisher: Wiley Global Education
ISBN: 1118476719
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 616
Book Description
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.
