A Strategy for Safer and More Resilient Industrial Construction
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers into high-performance concrete (HPC) to enhance its mechanical behavior and ensure greater safety in industrial structures. The research focuses on HPC mixtures of M30, M35, and M40 grades reinforced with a combination of steel fibers (SF) and polypropylene fibers (PPF). Steel fibers contribute to improved compressive and tensile strengths, while polypropylene fibers help control crack formation and dissipate energy …

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