Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …

Towards a Geo-Classification of the Niger Delta for Highway Investment Costing Applications
Abstract: The study carries out a quasi-experimentation, as a basis of devising a spatial quantitative concept, delineating distinct geologic settings which would have differing cost implications for highway infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Three broad conceptual geomorphic boundaries, for the categorisation of Niger Delta soils in engineering geologic costing application, were discerned within this conceptual lens. The study further statistically explores the synthesised geo-zonation for differences in …

A Conceptual Framework of Financial Risks Activated by Geo-Environmental Factors in Transportation Infrastructure Projects
Abstract: Geo-environmental factors wield substantial influence in both the design and construction of transportation infrastructure.Managing the financial risk associated with geo-environmental factors is key to the successful implementation of transportation infrastructure projects. Ground Investigations are the primary avenue to minimize financial risk due to geo-environmental factors. Limiting ground investigations to desk studies and preliminary reconnaissance based on superficial site inspection, or carrying out reactive post-contract ground investigations, however, appears to be …
