The seismic analysis of statically designed tall reinforced concrete buildings using the finite element method (2003)
Thesis
El-Khawanky, T. The seismic analysis of statically designed tall reinforced concrete buildings using the finite element method. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Earthquakes present one of the most devastating hazards on the planet. They threaten the safety of civilians in seismically active regions, and are of extreme concern in applications that demand a high level of safety, i. e. the nuclear industry. Ho...

The introduction of information and communications technology into physical communities : an action case study (2003)
Thesis
Byrne, B. The introduction of information and communications technology into physical communities : an action case study. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The role of information and communications technology, which has been mostly limited to use within business and government organisations, is now moving through society and touching all sections, groups and individuals therein. Information and comm... Read More about The introduction of information and communications technology into physical communities : an action case study.

A framework for process-driven risk management in construction projects (2003)
Thesis
Ceric, A. A framework for process-driven risk management in construction projects. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

This thesis describes the development of a framework for a systematic approach to risk management in construction projects, whose application in construction practice would lead to changes and improvements in the construction industry. To verify an... Read More about A framework for process-driven risk management in construction projects.

Haptic communication for remote mobile and manipulator robot operations in hazardous environments (2003)
Thesis
Counsell, M. Haptic communication for remote mobile and manipulator robot operations in hazardous environments. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Nuclear decommissioning involves the use of remotely deployed mobile vehicles and manipulators controlled via teleoperation systems. Manipulators are used for tooling and sorting tasks, and mobile vehicles are used to locate a manipulator near to...

Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management (2003)
Thesis
Thompson, K. Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

Whilst transport has repeatedly been identified as an integral component in the tourism system, the relationship between urban public transport networks and visitor behaviour at urban destinations remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, tourist tran... Read More about Urban transport networks and overseas visitors : analysis of the factors affecting usage and the implications for destination management.
