Material waste generated by the activities of the construction industry poses serious danger to both the construction projects concerned and the environment at large. Previous researches both at local and international level have neglected construction operatives and craft men who are the majority stakeholder. The study was aim to assess the perception of construction operatives, Tradesmen and Artisans on materials waste generation in the construction industry, with a view to encouraging better performance of construction projects in Nigeria. The study employed questionnaire survey. Tables and figures where used to present the collected data and Mean item score (MIS) and percentage were used to analyze the data collected. Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U-Test were used to test the hypotheses. It was discovered that formwork from wood/timber, Mortar from Rendering/plastering and Blockwork/ Brickwork are the most wasteful material generated on sites; Design (Frequent design changes and poor design), Poor materials storage system and Theft and vandalism are the most important factors that influence material waste generation during construction; Proper site supervision and management techniques, Adequate storage of material, and Staff training and awareness on waste management are the measures of minimizing construction material waste; and saving cost of disposal and transport, increased profit and save construction time loss are the most important benefits of material waste minimization. It was recommended that site operatives and craft men should be carried along in every management decision regarding waste management plan development as they constitute the major stakeholders on sites.
“Prediction of industrial solid waste with anfis model and its comparison wit...Manoj Kumar Tiwari
This paper is an attempt to estimate the quantity of Industrial solid waste (ISW) that can be generated in the Durg-Bhilai Twin city (DBTC), C.G, India from 2010 to 2026. The prediction of Industrial solid waste generation plays an important role in solid waste management. Yet achieving the anticipated prediction accuracy with regard to the generation trends facing many fast growing regions is quite challenging. In addition to the population growth and migration, underlying economic development, household size, employment changes, and the impact of waste recycling would influences the solid waste generation interactively. The development of a reliable model for predicting the aggregate impact of economic trends, population changes, and recycling impact on solid waste generation would be a useful advance in the practice of solid waste management [7]. The four input variables considered in the ANFIS model to predict ISW in the study area are Population of Durg-Bhilai Twin City (DBTC), ISW generated at DBTC, Percentage of urban population of the nation and GDP per capita of the nation. ANFIS is used in function approximation, time series prediction, and control [1] [2] [4]. In the absence of the adequate past data on waste generation rates, it is extremely difficult to decide upon the methodology to make any kind of prediction for the future. Hardly any primary survey studies have been made in the study area, which indicates the actual waste quantum generated. As a result, except for data points from 1961 to 2001 population based on census , Industrial solid waste generated at DBTC from 1961 to 2001 and 2009 based on the data collected from the DBTC. The estimates of waste quantum for period from 2010 to 2026,shows that if the growth of industrialization and growth of percentage increase in per capita waste generation, are considered as per the nation projections, the ISW in the study area can be expected by ANFIS model using MAT Lab Version 7.8.0.347 as around 88,980 MT per year in DBTC by 2026. Due to the important role of Waste Generation (WG) prediction in ISWMS, a proper model was developed using ANN and ANFIS models [24][26] [30]. In this study, first WG in DBTC was predicted using ANN and ANFIS models; also uncertainty analysis was used to determine the uncertainty of two hybrid models.
This document discusses the use of recycled aggregates in concrete.

Some advantages of green buildings are environmental benefits, reduced emissions and costs, while disadvantages include higher initial costs and lack of skilled workers.
Construction is a vital connection to the infrastructure and growth of industry in India.
Building roads, bridges and other constructed facilities play an important role in shaping society’s
future. Consequently, the construction Industry produces a vast quantity of waste which is
environmentally unfriendly, and costly to project budgets. This study aimed to find out how much
construction waste is costing construction project budgets, and attempted to make recommendations
to the industry on how profits can be maximized and how the waste can be minimized. For the
empirical investigation, a mixed methodology was used which combined questionnaire and interview
data from stakeholders in the road construction sector, together with documentary and observational
data, to examine the issue of construction waste and cost management. The research revealed that a
number of construction companies in India, do not adhere to international best practices and
standards. Practices such as site waste management plan, waste minimization strategies were found
to be non- existent in these companies. A number of recommendations were made to improve the
practices of the construction firms as per the need to train every construction employee on waste
management and also recommended for government agencies to monitor and enforce rule of waste
management in the construction industry.

It concludes that poor planning, coordination, and management were the overarching
This document discusses the development of new construction cost indices that account for different construction methods and technologies used across countries. It analyzes data on construction material and labor costs from 16 countries to derive cost indices for various materials relative to labor wages and concrete prices. The findings show large variations in relative material costs between high-income, upper-middle-income, and lower-middle-income countries. These differences influence the choice of construction technologies and whether countries adopt more labor-intensive or material-intensive construction practices. The new cost indices can inform research and policies on developing local construction industries.
This document discusses construction waste minimization. It begins by providing background on the construction industry in India and issues caused by construction waste like environmental damage. The top three activities that generate the most waste according to a survey of 20 construction sites are reinforced concrete work, plastering, and brickwork. The document then provides suggestions for minimizing waste from these activities like using recycled concrete as aggregate, carefully mixing only as much mortar as needed, and improving material handling and storage. In conclusion, systematically analyzing waste-causing activities and types of frequent waste can help construction firms avoid and minimize waste to achieve financial benefits.
Severity Index of Environmental Factors Associated with Building Construction...IJERD Editor
Environmental impact assessment of construction projects is demanded by government of developed nations where the construction industry is regulated. This is however not the case in developing nations where the industry is not regulated. In this research, types and the degree of severity of environmental factors associated with building construction projects in Lagos state of Nigeria was examined. Twenty –eight on-going building projects scattered between Lagos Island and the mainland were randomly selected from each cluster using proportional allocation. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey administered on 3 senior management staff and 7 artisans at each site. The study established raw material consumption and transportation as the most always occurring, most severe construction activity constituting environmental hazard and having the highest impact level on the environment. It was concluded that on-site construction activities have significant impact on the environment across the broad spectrum of, natural resource, ecosystem and public health.
This document discusses the sustainability of concrete in construction. It notes that while concrete is durable, the production of Portland cement, its key ingredient, releases significant amounts of CO2 and greenhouse gases. To improve sustainability, the document advocates using less Portland cement and more supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash. It also recommends producing concrete through engineered and mechanized processes to reduce waste. Overall sustainability requires considering a material's entire lifecycle from extraction to disposal or recycling.

IRJET- Replacement of Aggregate by C&D Waste ConcreteIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study that evaluated the strength and economic characteristics of concrete with natural aggregates replaced by demolished concrete waste aggregates. Concrete cubes were made with natural aggregate replaced at 10%, 20%, and 30% levels. The cubes were tested at 7 and 28 days for compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths. The results were compared to a control concrete made with only natural aggregates. The demolished concrete waste was obtained from a construction site, crushed, washed, and dried before use as recycled coarse aggregate. The study found that concrete with up to 30% replacement of natural coarse aggregate with recycled concrete aggregate achieved strengths close to the control concrete.

This document discusses the development of new construction cost indices that account for different construction methods and technologies used across countries. It analyzes data on construction material and labor costs from 16 countries to derive cost indices for various materials relative to labor wages and concrete prices. The findings show large variations in relative material costs between high-income, upper-middle-income, and lower-middle-income countries. These differences influence the choice of construction technologies and whether countries adopt more labor-intensive or material-intensive construction practices. The new cost indices can inform research and policies on developing local construction industries.
This document discusses construction waste minimization. It begins by providing background on the construction industry in India and issues caused by construction waste like environmental damage. The top three activities that generate the most waste according to a survey of 20 construction sites are reinforced concrete work, plastering, and brickwork. The document then provides suggestions for minimizing waste from these activities like using recycled concrete as aggregate, carefully mixing only as much mortar as needed, and improving material handling and storage. In conclusion, systematically analyzing waste-causing activities and types of frequent waste can help construction firms avoid and minimize waste to achieve financial benefits.
Severity Index of Environmental Factors Associated with Building Construction...IJERD Editor
Environmental impact assessment of construction projects is demanded by government of developed nations where the construction industry is regulated. This is however not the case in developing nations where the industry is not regulated. In this research, types and the degree of severity of environmental factors associated with building construction projects in Lagos state of Nigeria was examined. Twenty –eight on-going building projects scattered between Lagos Island and the mainland were randomly selected from each cluster using proportional allocation. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey administered on 3 senior management staff and 7 artisans at each site. The study established raw material consumption and transportation as the most always occurring, most severe construction activity constituting environmental hazard and having the highest impact level on the environment. It was concluded that on-site construction activities have significant impact on the environment across the broad spectrum of, natural resource, ecosystem and public health.
This document discusses the sustainability of concrete in construction. It notes that while concrete is durable, the production of Portland cement, its key ingredient, releases significant amounts of CO2 and greenhouse gases. To improve sustainability, the document advocates using less Portland cement and more supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash. It also recommends producing concrete through engineered and mechanized processes to reduce waste. Overall sustainability requires considering a material's entire lifecycle from extraction to disposal or recycling.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
