 Abstract: It is found almost everywhere in the world that there are some taboos and beliefs related with rural settlement. There are taboos and beliefs regarding the homesteads in rural areas. Religion is one of the major factors, which guided the formations of rural houses in Bangladesh. People’s religious belief and culture is reflected over the rural settlements and homestead through the transformation process of rural housing. By the transformation of rural housing certain characteristics like building materials, utilities of space and construction technologies are changed but some elements are conserved as a part of the heritage and beliefs. As transformation is a continuous process, these conservations are carried out by some vernacular way which this paper has discussed about.

    Your post on the role of cultural heritage in modern engineering is both thought-provoking and insightful. I truly appreciated how you explored the impact of historical influences on contemporary design, emphasizing the importance of preserving cultural narratives while embracing innovative techniques. Your discussion on how traditional elements can be harmoniously integrated into modern projects offers a refreshing perspective that enriches our understanding of sustainable development and design. It’s clear that honoring cultural heritage can lead to creative and meaningful architectural solutions. For those considering remodeling projects that celebrate history while incorporating modern comforts, I highly recommend checking out R for Remodelers. Their commitment to blending timeless craftsmanship with modern design makes them a standout choice.

ABHISHEK SHARMA AND K.K. PATHAK  National Institute of Technical Teachers’ Training and Research, Bhopal (M.P.), India Email: abhishek08887@gmail.com Abstract: Many project suffers time and cost overruns due to improper planning, scheduling and execution works that results in several issues like delay in providing facilities, development, reduction in quality of construction and making the project more expensive. A little consideration shows that the time required to complete the project is inversely proportional to the supply of manpower. As the manpower is increased, the completion time of the project is decreased and on the other hand if the manpower is decreased, the completion time of the project is increased. The present study deals with the manpower planning, scheduling and tracking of “Construction of a Residential Block at Mahadev Parisar, Bhopal”, a six storied (G+6) building project whose construction is in progress at Shivaji Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

The objective is to review some of the basic approaches of drive train configuration in wind turbines and to identify drive train models including the modeling and simulation results of these models. In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to modeling, design, and control of wind turbine including drive train .The number of publications on computational strategies (multibody dynamics) are widely used for design and simulation of wind turbines components has been steadily increasing. Lists and reviews many contributes of design and simulation method are given in survey papers [1], [2]. DOI: 10.15415/jotitt.2014.22009 LINK:   http://dspace.chitkara.edu.in/jspui/b...
