The introduction and development of the base isolation systems, especially the friction isolator device, were done recently to improve the capacity of adaptive behavior. The efficiency of multi-phase friction pendulums comes from their complexity, which helps reduce the structural responses and enhance structures' energy dissipation under lateral l...

One of the most important aspects of managing a project is communication. Although this issue has been widely covered in management, a lack of attention has been given in the project management, slight is known as the impact of social media tools on construction project management. The main purpose of the present study is to explore the potential o...

In the last two decades, a considerable amount of work has been done to understand how the organizations can form the affective commitment of employees. The practices of human resources management (HRM) do not gain enough attention which they deserve. Specifically, among the construction industry in Jordan, these practices remained ignored by both...

Subcontractors are the backbone of the procurement strategy for any construction project. One of the biggest risks that face general contractors and construction managers is the risk of a subcontractor's default. A subcontractor's failure to perform can add cost, delay a job and worse that damage the reputation of a contractor and owner. This study...

The present study provides comparative assessment of chemical coagulation, electrocoagulation (EC) and biological treatment for the removal of pollutants expressed in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) from municipal wastewater for further reuse in agriculture. The performance of the electrocoagulation, chemical coagulati...

The Impact of Collaboration among Members on Team’s Performance Jamal M. Assbeihat Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering Technology, Al- Balqa’ Applied University, Jordan In this research the importance team collaboration on its performance is investigated and decided how the administration and group pioneers can enhance the general...

Construction Delays is a major of concern in the private projects construction industry in Jordan. With the fact that construction delays are nothing but loss of time and money such study was conducted to identify the factors that causes the construction delays. Therefore three groups consist of consultants, contractors and owners were questioned,...

Construction Safety in Jordan – Conditions and Obstacles Jamal M. Assbeihat Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering Technology, Al- Balqa’ Applied University, Jordan ABSTRACT The number of accidents still remains unacceptably high in the Jordanian construction industry. The injury and fatality rates were observed to be increased. Cond...

As Construction sector is a vital economic sector in Jordan, this work was carried out to find the factors that form the vision of contractors and engineering offices and prohibit them from adopting TQM criteria in Jordan. A questionnaire has been developed with two approaches for data collection. It arranged into three main groups; each group cont...

The Jordanian contracting construction industry has been ignored, although it is a very important sector that affects the economic status of the country. This paper aims to investigate the contractors' administrative and technical human resource capabilities in Jordan in terms of number, qualification, and experience during the project implementati...

Universities and the industrial sector (IS) are both important contributors to the growth, development and advancement of any country. In Jordan, cooperation between universities and the IS is still at its early stages and no clear mechanism exists for the type of relationship between them. The objective of this paper is to present a model for inte...

Energy efficiency optimization techniques of electrical drive systems improve the overall efficiency and re-duce the hardness of mechanical characteristics of the drive system. It is therefore important to reduce the slip of induction motor to maintain its stable operation at different frequencies and loads. In this paper a slip compensator, based...
