The Structure Of A Building

in order to protect the quality of the project in the event that technical difficulties in the construction

Technological changes also lead to a source of risk among construction projects. Advancements in new technologies may present problems to designers and constructors, therefore increasing the risks. New facilities or technologies may render the former obsolete and thus affect the nature of the construction.

Following the Code of Ethics provided by APEGA is an important responsibility of those privileged to be a Professional Engineer. Though following the code might not be in ones best interest, it is meant to maintain the values and standards of the whole profession. Example below:

The Freedom Tower also known as “One World Trade Center” is the tallest skyscraper in the western hemisphere, and the fifth tallest skyscraper in our planet earth. The building structure consists of 104 stories can also be described as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center. The Building location is 285 Fulton Street, Manhattan New York, United States 10007, as depicted in the map below Figure 1.

The essay will be discussing about the failure of mankind due to inefficient engineering projects. It will also explain , the major cause of each disaster and its effect on the surroundings.

Hold Safety Paramount: Engineers must prioritize the safety, health and welfare of the public and should try to practice sustainability as often as possible. In order to do this, engineers must realize that major engineering decisions do impact the general public's well being and they must review their decisions to ensure that they are safe. Engineers with reasons to believe that a fellow engineer is not following the rules stated in Canon 1 must report this person to the authorities in charge.

This paper analyses one of many hazards existing in Rusaifah Bridge and Intersection Construction Project. The intentions of this paper are to analyze and assist the risk of the hazard using different Risk Assessment Matrices. The paper demonstrates different scenarios of human and environmental factors that could contribute to the risk of the hazard. Construction accidents can be eliminated by recognizing the root causes of accidents, which could be achieved by implementing accident investigation techniques such as Human Factor Theory. The theory provides explanations why accidents happen. This paper provides a reasonable measure to reduce the risk of this hazard to a minimum level.

This chapter starts off with an interlude of a man who discusses the fault of engineers. He list the tragedies engineer have caused through what he believes is poor workmanship and skills. The man lampoons engineers especially about the incident in the Kansas where a huge quantity of people were killed. He shows little to no sympathy for engineers despite the innovation they have introduced in the world. The author then turns this man disproval into an idiosyncratic idea by displaying the wonders and challenges an engineers a face. That while they do create fantastical inventions they are still human and therefore are bound to error. Throughout this chapter the author is on the defense. He surmises potential reasons for an engineer’s design

Engineers should need more help in building safety requirements in their basic designs and provide a check lists for development testing. High risks areas in management system should be focused where weaknesses such as mistakes or failures may be identified. The management are to evaluate safety risk conditions such as locating parachutes or pressure bags for the astronauts. We need to think about both project and technical factors when we conduct the risk assessment. When planning for risk, mentally dividing risk into these two categories may help you identify ways to mitigate or eliminate

First adopted in 1914, the code of ethics for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the model for professional conduct for all ASCE members. The code of ethics is an excellent model as it is broken down into eight canons for further understanding. The purpose of each canon is to serve as a guide and reminder for professional engineers that they are to have the moral and ethical integrity the profession calls for at all times while holding safety paramount. The ASCE code of ethics is very informative and insightful because although each canon does not go into great depth, the canons leave room for interpretation under different situations.

Construction projects can be extremely complex and fraught with uncertainty. Risk and uncertainty can potentially have damaging consequences for the construction projects. Therefore nowadays, the risk analysis and management continue to be a major feature of the project management of construction projects in an attempt to deal effectively with uncertainty and unexpected events and to achieve project success. Risk is inherent on construction projects and disputes frequently arise. One in four construction projects results in a dispute that leads to arbitration or litigation. With large scale, complex projects the likelihood of serious, time-consuming and expensive claims increases.

In order for a home building project to survive its purpose, risk analysis is essential so that occurrences that may affect the projects in the end can be identified, analyzed, assessed, managed and monitored. Because of the risky processes that are involved in the projects of home building construction, risk analysis and mitigation is the most useful tool in achieving good project and planning in home buildings as well as other constructions. If good risks management procedures are well conducted, the team’s level of confidence will be boosted, and this will enable or project to run and smoothly achieve its goals while facing and tackling each risk. Risk management will also come in handy as time will be saved as well as the

Ethics is the moral behavior that guides our actions; it motivates us in our personal behavior and is relevant in a business setting as well. Many organizations have set forth a set of guidelines known as a “Code of Ethics”. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, being one of these organizations, has set forth their code as a requirement for students and engineer members to adhere to. Heading towards a career in electrical engineering I choose this organization to elaborate on for my ethics project.

Safe design is the process of identifying, assessing, and eliminating hazards or potential risks that may occur in the workplace during construction or the life cycle of a designed product (Breslin, 2007). Designers have not traditionally addressed safety in their design and are often unaware of how their design impacts safety, yet research has shown that in construction project management, many safety risks may be eliminated or mitigated and opportunities seized at the design stage if proper analysis and assessment is carried out (Zou et al, 2008). Countries around the world have realized this to be true and numerous countries have passed regulation placing some of the safety burden on designers. This paper reviews the literature on the design and implementation of safe design techniques and programs in the construction industry.

The following pages contain the central elements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ (ASME) code of ethics and several key comparisons between ASME’s code of ethics and the National Society of Professional Engineers’ (NSPE) code of ethics. The last two pages are a copy of the ASME’s code of ethics.
