Study of Cost Overrun in Repair & Rehabilitation Projects in India
Abstract: In broad sense, the word "rehabilitation" suggested putting a building back to how it was before. The specialized area of repair and rehabilitation engineering necessitates knowledge and skills that go beyond those needed for design and construction engineering. Repair and rehabilitation projects are significantly more challenging and more complicated than new construction projects. It is vital to take a methodical approach to structural deterioration, and technology management and economics should …

Structures and sensors of Polymer Optical Fibers for Last Mile Networks
Abstract: Originating from distinct concepts for transferring information, sensing, or lighting efficiency, fiber characteristics vary greatly throughout their range. A substantial bandwidth-length product with acceptable attenuation characteristics is required for effective transfer of information. Since sensor fibers are typically used over short distances having considerably lower attenuation prerequisites. This paper presents polymer optical fiber (POFs) structures that are used as sensors over conventional fiber optics.An even broader spectrum of optical characteristics …

Explaining the Cost Performance and Maturity of Transportation Infrastructure in the Developed and Developing World: One Size Fits All?
Abstract: AbstractScholarly text analysing the financial performance of highway projects are evident in the literature, most of which have opined that highway agencies record higher levels of cost overruns compared to other clients of construction and building works. Similar assertions are made about the relatively higher levels of cost overruns recorded on highway projects executed in the developing world. A scant number of seminal works have emerged in the literature, offering …
