  An Exploratory Study on the Application of Locust Bean Pod Extract as a Natural Binder in the Manufacture of Laterite Blocks for Affordable Housing Construction

  By Musa H.L, Saleh Y.M., Tukur M.B., Buhari, G., Kauthar A.M.

  Abstract: This study investigates the potential application of locust bean pod extract as an alternative binding material in the production of laterite blocks for local building construction. It also examines the availability and distribution of locust bean pod resources across Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Locust bean pods are typically treated as agricultural waste and discarded after the seeds are removed, creating an opportunity to convert this underutilized by-product into …

  Intersection Safety in Urban Environments: A Review of Risk Factors and Crash Patterns

  By Rohit Prajapati, Parveen Kumar

  Abstract: Urban intersections are critical points of interaction between multiple road users, including cars, buses, two-wheelers, cyclists, and pedestrians. As cities continue to expand rapidly, the density and complexity of traffic at intersections increase, making them among the most dangerous segments of the roadway network. Numerous studies show that intersections account for nearly half of all urban road crashes, making them central to safety research and planning. This review paper synthesizes …

  Enhancing Construction Safety Performance Through Artificial Intelligence: A Systematic Review

  By Nadigatla Naveen Kumar, Nadigatla Prasanth Kumar

  Abstract: The construction industry is still one of the most dangerous sectors globally because of its dynamic working environment, the employment of heavy machinery, and the complexity of operational processes. Traditional safety management methods are largely dependent on manual monitoring and reactive measures, which are not always effective for accident prevention. In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been recognized as a revolutionary technology in construction safety, with capabilities such as …

  Development of a Model on Pavement Condition Index

  By Ramireddy Sushmitha, Raj Kumar Naik, Mounika, Shashank, Madhav

  Abstract: India has one of the most extensive road networks globally, comprising various categories such as National Highways, State Highways, District Roads, and Village Roads. Each category of road plays an impressive role in economic development and connectivity among different important roads. But, the condition of these roads varies effectively due to difference in traffic intensity, construction quality, maintenance practices and climatic condition. The present research work conducted pavement condition surveys …

  Fire Safety in Healthcare Facilities: An Indian Perspective

  By Gurmeet Singh Sarla

  Abstract: Fire protection and safety measures in hospitals are of utmost importance to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. Due to the patients' limited mobility, hospitals are more susceptible to fire disasters. Short-circuits, basements being used as storehouse, inappropriate storage of flammable liquids, improper power supply load, false ceiling panel lined with thermocol, faulty electric wirings, and overheating leading to burning of wires are some of the common causes …

  Pulmonary Effects of Cement Exposure in Construction Workers Correlating Lung Function Parameters with Workplace Hygiene

  By Sourabh Jain, Pravin Tathod

  Abstract: Construction workers are routinely exposed to cement dust, a recognized occupational hazard known to adversely affect respiratory health. This study investigates the pulmonary effects of cement exposure in construction workers by evaluating lung function parameters and examining the role of workplace hygiene practices. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a sample of construction workers with varying durations of exposure to cement dust. Spirometric assessments, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced …

  Identification and Evaluation of Safety Factors in Construction Industry Using Fuzzy Reasoning Technique

  By S.D. Phad, M.C. Aher

  Abstract: Modern construction projects, characterized by their complexity and uniqueness, are inherently susceptible to various risks. These risks represent uncertain events that may arise during the project's life cycle, potentially influencing its objectives either positively or negatively. Positive risks are referred to as opportunities, while negative risks are identified as threats. To effectively harness these opportunities and mitigate threats, the implementation of Risk Management is essential. A novel theoretical framework known …

  Incorporating Industrial Safety Management into Civil Engineering Works for Health and Environment

  By Oluwadare Joshua Oyebode

  Abstract: Industrial safety management is an important tool for protecting workers, assets, and environment because it involves risk assessment, hazard control, emergency preparedness and other important practices that can enhance civil engineering construction. Civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges, dams, and water supply systems present complex occupational and environmental risks, from physical accidents on-site to ecological degradation. This paper critically examines the integration of industrial safety and management strategies into …
