Calidad y seguridad en la industria de la construcción en Palestina
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Departamento de Ingeniería y Gestión de la Construcción, 2009)La industria de la Construcción es una de las más grandes e importantes industrias en Palestina. La calidad y seguridad en la industria aún sufre por la ignorancia y la falta de supervisión y el porcentaje de accidentes ... -
Case studies in awarding the lowest bid price in construction projects
(2012)The basic criterion for selecting a tender for construction projects is usually the price. Public construction procurement, the process by which contractors are chosen for public construction projects, has traditionally ... -
Causes of Construction delay in UNRWA projects in the Gaza Strip
(2003)Construction delay causes time and cost overruns for both owners and contractors. Claims and disputes may also be created due to construction delay. This paper investigated the causes and levels of delay on 90 completed ... -
Causes of contractor's business failure in developing countries: the case of Palestine
(Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2006)The construction industry has unique characteristics that sharply distinguish it from other sectors of the economy. It is fragmented, very sensitive to the economic cycles and political environment, and has a significantly ... -
Causes of Non-Prioritization of Infrastructure Projects in the Gaza Strip
(Science Publishing Group, 2018)Infrastructure projects are the backbone of the economy of the developed counties. Gaza Strip is suffering from non-prioritization of infrastructure project implementation. The objective of this paper was to identify the ... -
Causes of Time Waste in Construction Projects in Palestine
(Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States, 2010)Waste has been recognized as a major problem in the construction industry in developed and developing countries. It has a considerable impact on the efficiency of the construction industry and the overall economy of the ... -
Causes of variation orders in construction projects in the Gaza Strip
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2010)The maximum project performance would be achieved if the work invariably flows smoothly within time limits and anticipated budget. Variation orders result in time delay, cost overrun, quality defects, and other negative ... -
Challenges Facing Small-sized Construction Firms in the Gaza Strip
(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2019-05-31)Background: The construction industry is the most active tool for societies development and one of the main pillars in the Palestinian economy. Objective: The aim of this study is to identify the main internal and ... -
Challenges to Community Participation in Gaza Strip Municipalities
(2016)Community participation in municipalities' decisions and long planning processes ensures their full engagement in determining their own developmental needs. Therefore, identifying the challenges for community participation ... -
Challenges to the Utilization of BIM in the Palestinian Construction Industry
(Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Department of Construction Economics & Property, 2017)This Building Information Modelling (BIM) is considered an innovative method to design, construct and manage a building. BIM can reduce time, cost and enhance project quality. The study reported in this paper was aimed at ... -
Channel control and dispersion compensation using active arrayed waveguide grating (AWG)
(International Society for Optics and Photonics, 2017)The role of active Arrayed-Waveguide Grating (AWG) in future dynamic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networking and routing was investigated. Simulations were done using the Beam Propagation Method (BPM). The results ... -
Characteristics of Asymmetric Nonlinear Waveguide with Graphene Layer: Transverse Electric Mode
(American Scientific Publishers, 2017-07-01)The characteristics of a three-layer waveguide is studied. The waveguide structure consists of a thin layer of graphene at the interface between air and a dielectric layer at a distance d from nonlinear media. The dispersion ... -
Characteristics of Si-Solar Cell (PV) Waveguide Structure Using Transfer Matrix Method
(IEEE, 2017)In this work, the characteristics of a Si-solar cell (PV) model is studied. The proposed model is a four layer system with an ultra-thin film of Fe-InGaAsPlaid above Silicon (Si) substrate and covered by AlON layer that ... -
Characterization of the interfacial bond between old concrete substrate and ultra high performance fiber concrete repair composite
(Springer Netherlands, 2013)The interfacial bond characteristics between normal concrete substrate as old concrete and ultra high performance fiber concrete as repair material have been investigated. Normal concrete substrates were first subjected ... -
Chemical attack on concrete containing a high volume of crumb rubber as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in engineered cementitious composite (ECC)
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-01-26)Today, scrap tire is disposed of by open burning which harms the environment. To reduce the wastage of the resource, a sustainable approach is needed to dispose of the waste tire as a partial replacement of the fine aggregate ... -

After the mass destruction of thousands houses in the Gaza Strip, several governmental and non-government efforts dedicated towards planning for reconstruction of the damaged houses. Several modalities were proposed by ... -
Clients satisfaction with local design consultancy practices in Gaza Strip
(Botswana Polytechnic, 2003)The aim of this paper is to investigate the degree of public clients satisfaction with local consultancy practices in the Gaza strip. The paper deals with three types of clients: Local Ministries, Municipalities and other ... -
Cluster Based Geo-Routing Protocol
(2018)This paper addresses the problem of the overhead resulting from flooding the control packets in mobile ad hoc networks in searching for routes between the source and destination. We propose a location enhanced routing ... -
Clustering Algorithms in Echo State Networks
(Science and Engineering Research Support Society, 2016)In this work, we develop a new method of setting the input to reservoir and reservoir to reservoir weights in echo state machines. We use a clustering technique which we have previously developed as a pre-processing stage ...
