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. A comparison between the baseline duration and cost to actual duration and cost of manpower of project is also determined using project management software tool Microsoft Project 2013.

    I found your post on manpower planning, scheduling, and control in engineering projects both comprehensive and insightful. Your detailed discussion on the strategies and methodologies involved in effective resource management was highly informative and beneficial for professionals in the field. The way you explained the balancing act between manpower allocation and project deadlines truly highlighted the challenges and complexities of engineering management. It’s clear that attention to detail and precise planning are key to successful project execution. On a related note, for those considering renovations or improvements in their workspaces, I highly recommend checking out R for Remodelers. Their innovative approach to remodeling offers top-notch solutions that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.

The Role of Cultural Heritages on the Physical Transformation of Rural Housing

Masud Ur Rashid  Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture, Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, 141-142, Tejgaon I/A, Dhaka, Bangladesh Email: masud.arch@aust.edu 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. DOI: 10....

M Sh saleh* , A A El-Betar, A M El-Assal  Mechanical Engineering Department, Benha Faculty of Engineering, Benha University AL Qalyubiya, Egypt *Email: Mohamed.saleh@bhit.bu.edu.eg Abstract: In this paper, a review of past and recent developments in the wind turbine drive train is being studied. 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...
