Construction Project Management Book Pdf
Chris Hendrickson is a Hamerschlag University professor emeritus, the director of the Traffic 21 Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and the editor-in-chief to the ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering. Hendrickson's research, teaching, and consulting are in the general area of engineering planning and management, including design for the environment, system performance, construction project management, finance and computer applications. Hendrickson has co-authored five books: 'Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Goods and Services: An Input-Output Approach' (Resources for the Future, 2006), 'Project Management for Construction' (Prentice-Hall, 1989, updated on the web at 'Transportation Investment and Pricing Principles' (John Wiley & Sons, 1984, now updated and on the web at 'Knowledge Based Process Planning for Construction and Manufacturing' (Academic Press, 1989), and 'Concurrent Computer Integrated Building Design' (Prentice-Hall, 1994). In addition, Hendrickson has published numerous articles in the professional literature. Hendrickson's education includes: a bachelor's and M.S. From Stanford University, a M.Phil. In economics from Oxford University, and a Ph.D.
From the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Hendrickson has received the 2009 Faculty Award from the CMU Association (2009), the Turner Lecture Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (2002), the Fenves Systems Research Award from the Institute of Complex Engineering Systems (2002), AT&T Industrial Ecology Fellowships (2000-2002), a Lucent/NSF Industrial Ecology Fellowship (1998), the ASCE Frank M.
Masters Transportation Engineering Award (1994), the Outstanding Professor of the Year Award of the ASCE Pittsburgh Section (1990), the ASCE Walter L. Bertolt brecht majka courage i njezina djeca pdf to word. Huber Civil Engineering Research Award (1989), the Benjamin Richard Teare Teaching Award from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (1987), and a Rhodes Scholarship (1973). Hendrickson is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2007), a distinguished member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (2007), and an emeritus member of the Transportation Research Board (2004).Hendrickson's professional career includes research contributions in computer-aided engineering, transportation systems, construction project management, and environmental systems. Central themes in Hendrickson's work are creating systems-wide perspective and balancing engineering and management considerations. His doctoral work included the development of a travel distance formula for random stops that is still in use for home service planning (1978). He pioneered models of dynamic traffic equilibrium, including time-of-day departure demand models. He was an early contributor to the development of probabilistic network analysis for lifeline planning after seismic events.
His work in construction project management emphasized the importance of the owner's viewpoint throughout the project lifecycle, summarized in his text (with T. Au), 'Project Management for Construction,' now available on the internet. With others at CMU's Engineering Design Research Center, he developed a pioneering, experimental building design system in the early 1990s that spanned concept initialization through construction scheduling and animation. Since 1994, he has concentrated on green design, exploring the environmental life cycle consequences of alternative product, and process designs.
He has contributed software tools and methods for sustainable construction, pollution prevention, and environmental management, including life cycle analysis software (and a widely-cited analysis of the life cycle consequences of lead acid battery powered vehicles. “Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.” Andrew Carnegie“As engineers, we were going to be in a position to change the world — not just study it.” Henry Petroski“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein“Enlightenments, like accidents, happen only to prepared minds.” Herbert A. Simon“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Ben Franklin“There is very little success where there is little laughter.” Andrew Carnegie“I think great artists and great engineers are similar, in that they both have a desire to express themselves. ” Steve Jobs“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
” Will Durant“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand” Chinese Proverb“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.
