Analysis of construction sub-processes for the evaluation of the real performance of tower cranes

The productivity of work performed at construction sites is primarily dependent on the effective deployment and use of construction machinery. Nevertheless, manufacturers do not state the actual performance of their machinery because it is difficult to determine due to its dependence on the specific conditions present at each construction site. One of the most important machines used in the construction of buildings is the tower crane, which provides secondary transport of material onsite. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of such machines using a deterministic or stochastic approach, a relatively extensive and exact set of data describing the activities of a given tower crane needs to be prepared. These data describe the real requirements of ongoing construction sub-processes with regard to the utilisation of tower cranes. This contribution concerns the analysis of key construction sub-processes during the building of monolithic reinforced concrete structures in connection with secondary transport at the construction site; in particular, it describes the preparation and processing of this data for the evaluation of real time requirements placed on tower cranes

Technological phase of supporting frame's realization of the transfer station at waste dump Uhy

This bachelor thesis deals with construction-technological phase of supporting skeleton structural system's realization of the transfer station at waste dump Uhy. It contains operating procedure, equipment of the construction site, time schedule, machinery, control and testing plan, work safety, calculation and alternative proposal for prefabricated part from reinforced concrete. The alternative proposal solves sizing of the reinforced concrete element, calculation and machinery

Constructional technologic project of objects at dump Úholičky

In this diploma thesis two steel frame objects of a waste dump in Úholičky are solved. The aim is to resolve the chosen parts of a construction-technological project. The main topics for selected technological phases are transportation, bill of quantities, technological regulations, construction organization’s principles, time schedule, machinery, control and testing plan, work safety and worker’s health protection. These topics are prepared for the technological phases of ground works, fundamental contruction, upper load-bearing structure, construction of the floor and sheathing of the object. The thesis has also other parts which include static solution of a prestressed unit, budget by items, calculation of the object’s maintenance cost, handbook for bulding’s occupancy and proposal of construction contract

Agenda of Standard Specific Research Faculty of Civil Engineering Brno University of Technology

The aim of this paper is to acquaint readers with the course of the standard specific research agenda of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology, from the application, through the course of their own research to the factual and administrative fulfillment of research requirements. The solution of the research project includes not only the idea and the research part, but also the related administrative requirements, which can be in some respects even more demanding than the research itself. The procedure described below should make it easier for the beginning scientific work assistance to orientate themselves in the issues of administrative steps and research phases, and thus link standardized administrative tasks with scientific potential
