IN CIVIL PROJECTS OF SU AND SUMS503511180310.22099/ijstc.2013.1803ENJournal Article20111101The purpose of this study is to identify the way of dealing with the components of<br />project implementation in civil projects of Shiraz University (SU) and Shiraz University of<br />Medical Sciences (SUMS), to compare the executive indicators in civil projects of both<br />universities. Indeed, results of studies on executive indicators of civil projects at SU and SUMS<br />have been presented as articles at the Second International Conference on Construction and Project<br />Management ICCPM 2011 in Singapore; and the International Conference on Civil Engineering<br />and Transportation ICCET 2011 in Ji Nan, China, respectively. This study, however, focuses on<br />the comparison between the executive indicators of the civil projects at both universities; based on<br />the ideas of the decision-makers and authorities of the projects. In this study it has been found that<br />the difference between some indicators is small. It means that the ideas of both groups in both<br />universities are similar or close to each other; which may show the accuracy in completing the<br />questionnaire and the methodology used. In this paper, the results of this comparative study are<br />presented and discussed.https://ijstc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1803_8e88e652a352521052d69483c76aa186.pdfShiraz UniversityIranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Civil Engineering2228-616037C+20131218EFFECT OF HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCERS (HRWR) ON THE PROPERTIES
AND STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF
FRESH AND HARDENED CONCRETE513517180410.22099/ijstc.2013.1804ENJournal Article20110921Research is underway to increase the strength of concrete with the addition of chemical<br />and mineral admixtures. The use of High Range Water Reducers (HRWR) has been increased<br />many times in the last two decades. In this research the effect of two types of commercially<br />available HRWR (Superplasticizers) are studied on the properties of concrete in fresh and<br />hardened state. The strength development characteristics of concrete have been studied with the<br />addition of the HRWR. The research has shown the selection of appropriate HRWR for the desired<br />results of concrete in fresh and hardened state is a critical decision for the performance of the<br />WRWR.https://ijstc.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1804_76d4661c73662b13db0d2d4181edfe5d.pdf
