A total of 108 specimens were fabricated using Portland cement (Type I) and wood-wool from Kelampayan (Neolamarckia cadamba). The cement to wood ratio of the specimens was 2 to 1 by weight. The aim of the study was to determine the densityflexural, compressive and tensile strength of wood-wool cement composite boards (WWCCB) by studying boards with wood-wool sized 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm and board thickness 25 mm, 50 mm and 75mm. The physical and mechanical properties of the boards were evaluated according to ASTM D 1037-96a (Standard testing method for evaluating properties of wood-based fibre and particle panel materials) and MS934:1986. Results showed that mechanical properties of WWCCB were greatly influenced by the densityas the density decreased, the mechanical strengths also decreased. However, the strength properties of the composite boards did not display a similar trend when subjected to different types of loading conditions. The compressive strength increased with thicker boards (50 mm and 75 mm) but the modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture declined as the thickness of the board was increased

This research study was performed to document and evaluate engineering properties of controlled low-strength material (CLSM) containing byproduct foundry sand. Mixtures containing clay-bonded and chemically bonded sand were compared in the plastic and hardened states to CLSM mixtures containing uniformly graded crushed limestone sand. The data show that byproduct foundry sand can be successfully used in CLSM, and it provides similar or better properties to that of CLSM containing crushed limestone sand. The foundry sand assisted in keeping the strength from exceeding the desired upper limit of 700 kPa. Clay-bonded sand retarded the setting time, and chemically bonded sands required a reduction in water to control bleeding. CLSM containing a combination of fly ash and chemically bonded sands was shown to have excellent characteristics for flowable backfill and excavatable base material.

With the adoption of the SC comes the opportunity primarily related to the management of procurement of logistics materials across corporate borders, such as between firms and their suppliers. This paper presents the issues and the lifting process for supply chain management in construction projects. Discussions on issues faced by contractors relating to material procurement process have also been captured and enhancement strategies related to management, human relations, and information and communication technology have been brought forward to improve the performance of SCM materials. This study suggests that the management of material supply chains can be enhanced through management integration, human relations, and information and communication technology. This paper also considers the potential of implementing SCM to integrate the construction process in Malaysia, and therefore addressing important issues including the vague definition of what is needed from the client, lack of communication between parties involved in the material supply chain, ambiguity between plans and quantity bills, and low cost associated with the traditional process of material procurement.

However, problems occur when number of courses and lecturers increased and yet the process of collecting and analysing all the data were done manually. Therefore, systematic and effective tools are required to tackle these problems. Furthermore, all engineering programme offered under the faculty must implement the Outcome Based Education (OBE) system as a curriculum approach for the purpose of accreditation from Boards of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) through Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) for bachelor degree and Engineering Technician Accreditation Council (ETAC) for diploma. Therefore, an effective system called i-RAS (Revolution on Assessment for Student Monitoring System) has been developed to overcome the improper analysis of COPO. This system has been implemented for bachelor degree at Faculty of Civil Engineering UiTM Penang Branch. The advantages of this sy...
