Selection of Tower Cranes through ANN (Artificial Neural Network) Model
Abstract: In India, the construction sector has been increased due to large spending on the infrastructures in last few years. By such growth in infrastructure, rising trend of precast technology for real estate construction and high rise construction, there is a drive growth of the Indian tower crane industry. With the increasing demand of tower cranes, the selection of the suitable tower crane for a particular site also becomes important; as …

Safety Issues with Tower Crane and Remedial Measures
Abstract: Tower cranes are the focus of execution on today’s typical building construction sites. Tower crane has to hoist and transport a variety of loads near and above people, under crowded conditions, occasionally with overlapping work zones, and often within time, budget, and labor constraints. This leads to the safety risk on sites that are intrinsically hazardous. This paper identifies the major factors affecting safety of tower-crane and evaluates the degree …
