Conceptual Framework Of Bidding Strategy In Order To Improve Construction Project Performance
Globalization makes the competition of construction is increasingly tight. The competitors faced not only in the regional district/city, province, but increasingly widespread, even cross the country worldwide. Bidding strategy is an important factor that improves competitiveness. It defines as a management skills of using all available resources both physical and financial, in
order to offer a comprehensive and competitive bidding. The bidders usually consider various aspects, including internal, external and environment, with aim to win the bidding competition, and provide maximum project performance.The literature review method is used to create ideas, and synthesize the related researches which have been done previously. This paper aims to develop a framework that can be used for evaluation in the early stages of project selection, based on theriview of various literature related to bidding strategies and project performance. The result from the literature review concerning are presented, and a conceptual framework of bidding strategy model is developed
Protect, Adapt or Relocate? Responding to Climate Change in Coastal Indonesia
On the coast of Java, Semarang City faces a multitude of climate-related problems including sea-level rise, flash and tidal floods, subsidence and coastal erosion. Using four case-study villages, this working paper explores how households are coping with the impacts of climate change. How do they decide whether to protect, adapt or relocate their property to areas less affected, and what are the costs? Understanding household risk assessments and decision-making processes should effectively tailor government policies to reduce vulnerability and support local adaptation strategies. By bringing together all stakeholders, an urban climate governance approach should ensure a more resilient city
Calculation of dynamic load factor for reinforced concrete slabs subjected to above ground explosion
The Development of Penetration Charges for Increasing the Efficiency of the Interventions of Fire Rescue Service Units
During building fires is often necessary to deliver nozzles with water to the desired
point of intervention and the wall or ceiling must be penetrated for energy supply and
the entrance of persons. Access openings for extinguishing are created with hand tools or
explosives, but it is a very time-consuming activity and fragmented material may endanger
persons. Another possibility is the use of charges with a water layer, which absorbs
the shock wave of the explosion at the back and at the same time significantly suppresses
the fragmentation of the building element on which the charge acts. The penetration
charge developed in two versions allows a sufficient penetration of the partitio
