A REVIEW ARTICLE ON RISK MANAGEMENT IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
- Authors: Deepak Tiwari
  Pages: 1 - 4
  Abstract: Risks are very general in construction industry. The construction industry is broadly linked with a high risk and uncertainty due to the nature of its working environment. Thus, the need of risk management is required. Risk management is to identify risk, analysis risk and provided most suitable treatments. Risk analysis is done to identify these risks in the project and manage it accordingly. By using probability and impact method which is a very easy method we can manage risk at construction projects. This paper presents a review of need for risk management in the construction project

Enhancement of Highway Project Performance Using Lean Construction Method:
A Review
- Authors: Prakash kumar sharma
  Pages: 5 - 8
  Abstract: Abstract: The construction business has low profitability as contrast with different industries since numerous years even after the utilization of new advancements and new procedures use in construction. Lean idea is exceptionally famous in assembling businesses to enhance profitability by smooth work process and limit the waste. In this Research paper, an investigation of the lean development ideas and its application to development industries was finished by live study. Contextual investigation was finished by getting ready surveys, perception on location and with the assistance of venture administration group of road project.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING POSITIVE SAFETY CULTURE AT WORKPLACE
- Authors: shourya negi
  Pages: 9 - 12
  Abstract: Safety culture means the beliefs of an individual, attitude of a person, work ethics and values, perceptions towards an incident all the factors together and relation between each factor describes the safety which is the part of organization culture. By implementing or introducing the safety culture in a workplace, incidents can reduced on a positive note can be made zero also, decrease in accidents means decrease in compensation money which leads to profit of industry.Around the world the term safety culture has gained first priority, lot of research is going on to develop better ways to implement and secure the safety culture. So here the study showcase about how culture of safety can be implemented in work place so that the incidents can be avoided of any kind from near miss to fatality. Various steps to be followed while implementing the safety culture.

Innovative Applications of Aerated Concrete– A Review
- Authors: kalyani satish kondekar
  Pages: 13 - 19
  Abstract: This paper deals with the review of literature regarding the Aerated Concrete. The main aim of the research was to study the application and properties used for paving structure, retaining structures, as a mortar, etc. The papers studied for the project mainly consist of the use of air entraining agent with different materials. For finding the mechanical properties, moisture content, freezing thawing effects, corrosion, etc., different experimental procedures, methods, materials and mix design for aerated concrete were adopted.
  Authors also investigated the use of industrial waste materials for developing the properties of aerated concrete. They found out compressive strength, flexure strength, shear strength, durability, moisture content, shrinkage, porosity, freezing and thawing effects, curing conditions etc. They adopted SVM, mathematical equations, inverse analysis, SEM analysis, DEM, X-Ray, LPR methods for finding the properties. Further, the areas where more research work is still needed are discussed.

Mechanical Properties of Aerated Concrete
- Authors: kalyani satish kondekar
  Pages: 20 - 29
  Abstract: Nowadays it is very important to make the concrete economical. Aerated concrete is ordinary concrete that contains controlled amounts of air in the form of microscopic bubbles and having low density as compare to conventional concrete. These intentionally entrained air bubbles are extremely small. By using Air Entraining Agent (AEA), cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water we create aerated concrete. The experiment is perform on aerated concrete which is use Air Entraining Agent (AEA) with river sand and manufacturing (M- sand). Mix design is for M25 grade of concrete for (i) OPC + AEA and (ii) OPC + AEA + Fly Ash. We use dosages of AEA 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% in aerated concrete. For ecofriendly concrete we used industrial waste 30% fly ash replacement of cementations material. By using all this material, cubes and beams are casted for testing of compressive strength and flexural strength. In this study, strength of aerated concrete with river sand compare with strength of manufacturing (M- sand).
