Effect of geometric imperfections on the ultimate moment capacity of cold-formed sigma-shape sections
Abstract In recent years, cold formed steel sections are used more and more as primary framing components and as a secondary structural system. They are used as purlins and side rails or floor joist, and after that in the building envelops. Beams...

The Relationship between Project Success and Project Efficiency
Abstract Many papers have rightly stated that meeting time, scope and budget goals, often called project efficiency, is not the ideal measure of project success. Broader measures of success have often been recommended. However, no paper has...
