The use of waste as an additional material on the building work was increasingly actively developed, such as straw, styrofoam, bagasse, cow manure. The key drivers of the use of waste is the potential for waste is increasing, due to the depletion of non-renewable resources. Papyrus rod diameter 60 cm, length 30 meters, has a volume of 5,652m3 as well as the edges of the Rods that can be used for construction with a thickness of 3 cm has a volume 0,942m3, Pith and fiber volume content of the stem 4,71m3/rod, then in one rod, there are 2 to 3 bunches each fruit bunches yield as much as 20 to 30 items for one harvest, by weight of fruit fiber 101.2 gram / fruit, Fiber characteristics are round and smooth is expected to reduce cracks in solid concrete brick and also can reduce the use of sand. This study aims to determine the compressive strength of the composition of the additional material of Rods fiber content and Fiber of palmyra fruit with a percentage 3%, 6% and 9%, mixing ratio; 1 cement and 5 sand in the manufacture of solid concrete brick. Rods fiber content used the average Ø1,031mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 39,305N / cm and fruit fiber to an average value Ø0,40mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 33,691N / cm. Making test specimen with a length of 20cm, width 10cm and thick 8cm.

Abstract

The total cost of infrastructure in normal circumstances is expected to be the sum of the cost of materials, labor, siteoverheads, equipment/plant, head office cost and profit but in many parts of the world particularly in Nigeria, there are othercosts to be allowed for. This study seeks to investigate and report the other costs to be allowed for, which are the reasons whythe cost of infrastructure is so high. A sample of 70 respondents comprising of construction clients, consultants and contractorswere randomly selected and data were gathered using a set of questionnaire to identify the reasons for high cost ofinfrastructure. Spear man rank order correlation was used to analyze the study hypothesis. The findings revealed cost ofmaterials, incorrect planning, wrong method of estimation, contract management and fluctuation of material prices as the fivemost important factors affecting cost of infrastructure. It was also found that construction clients, consultants and contractors donot generally agree on the severity rank of the factors affecting cost of infrastructure in Nigeria. While it is recommended that thegovernment should develop adequate frameworks for monitoring and controlling cost of infrastructure, consultants especiallycost experts should ensure that they make use of accurate estimating methods and that contractors should employ adequateplanning and scheduling techniques because proper planning and scheduling is the key to utilizing project resources andminimizing wastes.

Abstract

Quantitative restrictions on “Textile and Clothing” (T&amp;C) trade were completely removed in January 2005.Consequently, Egyptian T&amp;C exporters have lost the quasi-guaranteed market access to the “European Union” (EU) and “UnitedStates” (US) markets and they became subject to fierce competition in global market. This research aims to empiricallyinvestigate the effect of quota abolishment on the Egyptian T&amp;C sector during the period 1995-2008. Quota phase-out had anegative effect on exports especially to the EU market. However, liberalizing T&amp;C trade was not the only factor causing thedeclining trend of exports, as several domestic and international challenges facing the sector led to reduced competitiveness.Those results were proved by a number of case studies using some of the T&amp;C companies in Alexandria as a sample. Theresults of this research provide guidelines for a development strategy to flourish the sector.

Abstract

The poor performance of many less developed and developing countries including African economies have beenattributed to low growth of exports in general and manufactured exports in particular. In trying to remedy the situation, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) economies including Nigeria have adopted different strategies to woo foreign investors in the form offoreign direct investment (FDI) due to insufficient domestic investment that can propel the economic growth process.This studyattempts to investigate constraints to manufactured export using firm level evidence from seven SSA economies (Kenya,Nigeria, Tanzania, Cameroon, Mauritius, and South Africa). Employing probit regression and ordinary least squares (OLS), thestudy found that output per labour, raw materials per labour and indirect cost were the major constraints to manufacturedexports. Also, high production and transaction costs (indirect costs) were found to constitute the constraints for exporting both inSSA at large. Based on findings, there is need for provision of export incentives, which may come in two parts: measuresdesigned to increase firm-level efficiency as this would help firms to attain certain level of international competitivenessnecessary for sustainable exporting; and measures designed to reduce the transaction and production costs associated withexporting.
