Abstract
Case study of contractors' errors in scheduling concrete repairs, exemplar for overcoming slippage. In this case study the authors demonstrate the importance of recording and studying the details of concrete repair work to enable future projects to be carried out more efficiently with less slippage in the time schedule and therefore less financial damage over the time plants, such as kilns, are shutdown. In this case study, the distress in the concrete pier was apparently due to the twisting of the platform as a result of tortional stress, as well as to diagonal shear cracks in the walls.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
