National Building Code of India (NBC) 2016
National Building Code of INDIA 2016 (NBC 2016)
Important Amendments For Structural Design
Study Time - May 2017
The National Building Code of India (NBC), a comprehensive building Code, is a national instrument providing guidelines for regulating the building construction activities across the country. It serves as a Model Code for adoption by all agencies involved in building construction works be they Public Works Departments, other government construction departments, local bodies or private construction agencies. The Code mainly contains administrative regulations, development control rules and general building requirements; fire safety requirements; stipulations regarding materials, structural design and construction (including safety); building and plumbing services; approach to sustainability; and asset and facility management.
The Code was first published in 1970 at the instance of Planning Commission and then first revised in 1983. Thereafter three major amendments were issued to the 1983 version, two in 1987 and the third in 1997. The second revision of the Code was in 2005, to which two amendments were issued in 2015.
Due to large scale changes in the building construction activities, such as change in nature of occupancies with prevalence of high rises and mixed occupancies, greater dependence and complicated nature of building services, development of new/innovative construction materials and technologies, greater need for preservation of environment and recognition of need for planned management of existing buildings and built environment, there has been a paradigm shift in building construction scenario. Considering these, a Project for comprehensive revision of the Code was taken up under the aegis of the National Building Code Sectional Committee, CED 46 of BIS and its 22 expert Panels; involving around 1 000 experts. As a culmination of the Project, the revised Code has been brought out in 2016 as National Building Code of India 2016 reflecting the state-of-the-art and contemporary applicable international practices.

It details how scientific evidence for human-caused global warming has grown since the 1800s from early studies on greenhouse gases and climate modeling. It explains the consensus among scientific organizations today that increasing CO2 levels are causing the planet to warm at an alarming rate.
Job layout per
The document discusses job layout, which is a scaled drawing of a construction site showing key features like entry/exit points, storage areas, and temporary facilities. It notes that a job layout is prepared to promote efficient work without obstructions. The document then provides:
- A brief history of static vs. dynamic site models.
- The purposes of preparing a job layout, which include saving time/money, safety, and maximizing output.
- Factors that affect job layout decisions, like the project nature, construction methods, and available resources.
- The principal steps in preparing a job layout, such as locating administrative areas, warehouses, and temporary roads.
Project Management Organizational Structures
The document discusses three common project management organizational structures: functional, matrix, and pure project. The functional structure is best for stable, repetitive work like in hospitals, but can lack communication. The matrix structure combines functional and project advantages, giving project managers control but also challenges from multiple management influences. The pure project structure gives full control to project managers but has increased costs from redundancy. Overall, each structure has strengths and weaknesses, and the best approach depends on an organization's goals, projects, and environment.
Project Organization and Structure
There are three main project management structures: functional organization, dedicated project team, and matrix structure. In a functional organization, the project is managed within the existing functional hierarchy of the parent organization, providing flexibility but potentially slower responses. A dedicated project team operates independently as its own unit, keeping the team focused but being more expensive. A matrix structure combines functional and project management, allowing for resource sharing across projects but potentially causing tensions between managers.

Session 4 gdas pmp study group presentation
The document discusses scope management in project management. It covers key topics like:
1. Scope management means constantly checking that all required work is completed and not allowing unauthorized changes to scope.
2. The main processes of scope management are scope planning, scope definition which includes creating a project scope statement, developing a work breakdown structure (WBS), scope verification, and scope control.
3. Scope management differentiates between product scope which are requirements related to the project deliverables, and project scope which is the work required to deliver the product.
Session 10 gdas pmp study group presentation
The document summarizes key points from a session on risk management:
1. The session discussed tools and techniques for risk response planning, including strategies for negative risks and contingent response planning.
2. It provided examples of different types of risks like secondary risks that can arise from implementing a risk response plan.
3. Residual risks that remain after risk responses have been implemented were also explained.
Session 3 gdas pmp study group presentation
The document summarizes an agenda for a PMP study group session covering professional responsibility and integration management. The session will discuss responsibilities of project managers, key concepts of integration management including the seven processes, and take participant questions. Study group questions will then be presented and answered as a group, covering topics like contract change control systems, addressing inaccurate financial statements, project closure due to lack of funding, documenting risks in the project plan, and using knowledge gained from previous employers.
Session 2 gdas pmp study group presentation
This document provides an agenda and overview for a Project Management Professional (PMP) study group session on the project framework and project management processes. The agenda includes a summary of the focus on the project framework and processes, an open forum for participant questions, study group questions, and a wrap up. The overview discusses key concepts of the project management framework, including the triple constraint of scope, time and cost, areas of PM expertise, the project management office, and differences between projects and programs. It also discusses project management processes, including the five process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing as well as the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the process interactions template.

Node
The document discusses critical path method (CPM) network computation and provides examples of activity-on-arrow and activity-on-node network diagrams. It also explains the different relationship types used to define dependencies between activities, including finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish, and start-to-start/finish-to-finish relationships. Lead and lag times are discussed as constraints that can be applied to relationships.
Contract
The document appears to be a course syllabus or outline for a construction contracts class taught by Dr. Khalid Al-Gahtani at King Saud University in spring 2008. It includes standard syllabus elements like the course title, instructor information, and page numbers but does not include any other contextual information.
Cash flow
- The document discusses factors that impact contractor cash flow, including payment schedules, materials, mobilization, monthly payments, and final payment.
- It also discusses contractor cash disbursements for labor, equipment, materials, subcontractors, insurance, permits, mobilization, and overhead.
- Methods to minimize a contractor's negative cash flow are presented, such as front-end rate loading, reducing delays in receiving revenue, adjusting work schedules, and coinciding materials deliveries with payment estimates.
Bar chart
The document discusses activities, projects, and bar charts for project scheduling. An activity has a defined start and end time and uses resources. A project is a set of activities with defined objectives, completion date, and budget. A bar chart is a common project scheduling tool that displays activities as horizontal bars placed sequentially according to duration and dependencies. It can identify critical paths where delays could impact the overall project schedule.
Arrow computation
This document defines key terms and formulas used in critical path method (CPM) network computation. It discusses the forward and backward pass computations used to calculate the earliest and latest start and finish times of activities. The forward pass uses the earliest start time of predecessor activities to calculate the earliest finish time of each activity. The backward pass uses the latest finish time to calculate the latest start time. Several examples are provided to demonstrate applying CPM calculations to activity networks. Key outputs include identifying the critical path and activities that dictate the minimum project duration.
Arrow
- The document discusses network scheduling techniques for project management, focusing on the Critical Path Method (CPM).
- CPM uses arrow diagrams to graphically display the planned sequence and dependencies of a project's activities in order to determine the critical path for efficient resource use and project completion.
- The Activity-on-Arrow (AOA) drawing scheme is presented as the original CPM network scheduling technique, with nodes representing start and finish points and arrows representing activities.
Administration
The document discusses various topics related to project management functions and motivation. It covers planning, organizing, directing, controlling, and motivation as key project management functions. It also discusses several motivation theories including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and John Hunt's goal-based theory. Additionally, it covers leadership styles, teamwork, creativity, problem solving techniques, and decision making processes.
Time cost-trade-off
1. The document discusses reasons and methods to reduce project durations, including to earn incentive pay, avoid penalties, and fit contractual timelines. It then describes four common methods: using overtime, adding workers, better equipment, and subcontracting labor.
2. The optimal project duration balances minimizing total project costs, including direct costs from activities as well as indirect overhead costs. The network compression algorithm is used to iteratively shorten the critical path by accelerating individual activities until no further reduction is possible without increasing total costs.
3. An example construction project is provided to demonstrate calculating the least cost project duration using crash costs, indirect costs, and shortening cycles to optimize the project schedule.
