Due to the fierce competition that businesses in this industry are engaging in to win difficult projects and improve their projection capabilities, construction projects are currently expanding significantly and adjusting to ongoing changes. Improvements in the management of construction processes are therefore encouraged to speed up project completion, save costs, and boost quality by the projects' baseline or scope. On the other hand, research reveals that common issues that arise during the execution stage include, among others, a lack of information, a lack of a foundational definition, and communication disruptions between departments. Most often, this results in the development of several Requests for Information, which hinders the beneficial flow of operations. Additionally, according to the standard procedure for these requests, a lengthy waiting period is necessary before receiv...

The steel industry is responsible for producing large volumes of electric arc furnace slag. This by-product has no use or benefit for these companies, so they proceed to discard them. However, there are companies that choose to dispose these by-products improperly due to the high cost of treating the slag to avoid any type of contamination. Similarly, the agricultural industry is responsible for producing and disposing more than 300 000 tons of rice husks annually. These factors are the main reason for the recycling of both by-products in the construction sector. The objective of this research is to evaluate the mechanical behavior of structural concrete with the partial replacement of cement by electric arc furnace slag and rice husk ash. For this purpose, a master mix and four mix designs with replacement proportions of 7.5% and 12.5% of electric arc furnace slag are prepared; and 5% a...
