Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods

Eliezer Shapira, a civil engineer, general contractor, and father of Aviad Shapira. As a father and most loving teacher it was he who sparked Aviad's passion for construction. Over the years, Eliezer and Cliff have also shared adventures at equipment shows In Europe and enjoyed many an interesting construction story. This book is therefore dedicated to Eliezer Shapira-a constructor who has taught both of us an appreciation for meeting the challenges of construction.

R. L. Peurifoy (1902-1995), after serving as principal specialist in engineering education for the U.S. Office of Education during World War n, began teaching construction engineering at Texas A&M University in 1946. In the years that followed, Peurifoy led the transformation of the study of construction engineering into an academic discipline. In 1984 the Peurifoy Construction Research Award was instituted by the American Society of Civil Engineers upon recommendation of the Construction Research Council. This award was instituted to honor R. 1. Peurifoy' s exceptional leadership in construction education and research. The award recipients since the last edition of the book are: 2001 M. Dan Morris 2003 Jimmie W. Hinze, University of Florida 2004 David B. Ashley, University of California Merced 2005 Abraham Warszawski, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology

Dr. Schexnayder is a registered professional engineer in six states, as well as a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He served as chairman of the ASCE's Construction Division and on the task committee, which fonned the ASCE Construction Institute. From 1997 to 2003 he served as chairman of the Transportation Research Board's Construction Section.

Aviad Shapira is an Associate Professor of Construction Engineering and Management in the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and D.Sc. degrees in Civil Engineering from the Technion. After completing his degrees, he spent one year as a post-doctoral fellow at the University ofTIlinois at Urbana-Champaign under a grant from the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineering Support. Agency. In the 1990s he spent a year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque as the AGC Visiting Professor. . Dr.· Shapira accrued his practical experience as a project Clifford J. Schexnayder is an Eminent Scholar Emeritus at the Del E. Webb School of Construction, Arizona State Uni" engineer, project manager, and Chief Engineer in a general versity.
