Some say Project can’t be used outside of a waterfall schedule approach, but it’s not true. In fact, most of the best methods use iterative activities, such as Scrum or agile planning.
In this seminar, we’ll show you key steps for building an agile schedule, as well as pros and cons of Scrum features and approaches.
You’ll also see how to blend a schedule to address tactical agile needs, while still providing rollup and time-boxed reporting to stakeholders.
This lively, example-driven webinar will reveal how you too can build agile, iterative schedules and address the need for a good time table that also helps map, track and report activities, features, story points and backlogs–all within Microsoft Project.
Have you ever wondered how to see tasks that are scheduled to take place next week across multiple projects? Would you like to know how to group task data using specific resource fields? What is the most effective way to plan projects with drop dead deadlines?
This session is designed to show you suggestions that you can apply to your schedules to enhance MS Project 2013/2016.
Primavera P6 Professional Project Management, the recognized standard for high-performance project management software, is designed to handle large-scale, highly sophisticated and multifaceted projects. It provides unlimited resources and an unlimited number of target plans.
The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings.
Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETABS offers unmatched :
3D object based modeling and visualization tools,
Blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power,
Sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide-range of materials, and insightful graphic displays,
Reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results.
From the start of design conception through the production of schematic drawings, ETABS integrates every aspect of the engineering design process.
Creation of models has never been easier – intuitive drawing commands allow for the rapid generation of floor and elevation framing.
CAD drawings can be converted directly into ETABS models or used as templates onto which ETABS objects may be overlaid.
The state-of-the-art SAPFire 64-bit solver allows extremely large and complex models to be rapidly analyzed,and supports nonlinear modeling techniques such as construction sequencing and time effects (e.g., creep and shrinkage).
Work on a new €1.7 billion coastal road is underway around France’s Reunion Island
This new 12.3km highway (Route du Littoral) will have three lanes in each direction when it is complete in 2018.
The new offshore highway connects Saint Denis, the administrative capital of La Réunion, with La Possession.
This is a significant project and involves the use of a large fleet of heavy machinery.
Manitowoc, Grove and Potain cranes are working together to help build the new coastal road around Reunion Island.
In all large 16 cranes of various types are being used on the island, which is located to the east of Madagascar.
Meanwhile equipment from Enerpac is playing a key role in constructing a viaduct.
One of the most complex aspects of the work is the construction of the 5.4km viaduct on columns rising out from the Indian Ocean.
This is being built so that it will be able to withstand 144km/h hurricane winds as well as waves of up to 10m in height.
The project is being carried out by French consortium Bouygues Travaux Publics, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, Dodin Campenon Bernard and Demathieu Bard Construction.
Once complete, this will be the most expensive road/km funded by France.
The crane fleet in use on the project comprises two Potain MD 485B M20s, two MDT 368 As, one MD 560 B, a Potain k5-50C, a Manitowoc 12000E-1 crawler crane, seven
Grove all-terrain cranes and two Grove rough-terrain cranes. Installation of the Potain cranes was completed in September of 2015, including setting up and erecting the jibs.
The 16 cranes were supplied by contractors Vinci Construction Grands Projets and Bouygues TP which own some of the units and Grues Levages Investissements (GLI) which also provided cranes for this high-profile project on rental contracts.
GLI is Manitowoc’s official French dealer for Reunion Island, Mayotte and Mauritius and has invested heavily in supplying the cranes for this project.
Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods, in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the majority of codes of practice are based.
However in recent years the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone substantial development in the light of new research and the mechanisms for the interactions between piles, soil and rafts or caps have been largely clarified.
Paradoxically, with relatively large piled rafts it has been found that a design based on the criterion of serviceability, with the limitation of absolute and/or differential settlement, not only allows a more rational and economical design, but is also simpler and more reliable than one based on the traditional approach.
This book provides an overview of present design practice of piled foundations, under both vertical and horizontal loads, and then a presentation of recent advances in the analysis and design of piled rafts. Altogether it forms a thorough guide to the design and analysis of efficient and effective piled rafts, and it also serves as a useful design handbook for traditional pile foundations.

All objects and structures transfer their load either directly or indirectly to the earth. The capacity of the earth to support such loads depends on the strength and stability of the supporting soil or rock materials. Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to carry and transfer the load of the structure to the bearing ground located at some depth below ground surface. There are many texts on pile foundations.
Generally, these books are complicated and difficult to understand. Easy to use and understand, this book covers virtually every subject concerning pile design, featuring techniques that do not appear in other books on the subject. It contains design methods with real life examples on pin piles, bater piles, concrete piles, steel piles, timber piles, auger cast piles, underpinning design, seismic pile design, negative skin friction and design of Bitumen coated piles for negative skin friction and many other subjects.
This book is packed with design examples, case studies and after construction scenarios are presented for the reader’s benefits. This book enables the reader to come away with a complete and comprehensive understanding of the issues related to the design, installation and construction of piles.
* Handy guide for engineers perparing for professional engineer (PE) exam.
* Numerous design examples for sandy soils, clay soils, and seismic loadings
* Methodologies and case studies for different pile types
