Evaluation of Construction Health and Safety Practice in Construction Projects in Mogadishu
Authors(1) :-
Mogadishu is undergoing booming and rapid construction growth. The city is hosting construction of middle rise to high-rise buildings which are obviously may happen health and safety problems to both employees and surrounding community. There is urgent need of implementing construction health and safety practices in these construction projects. The main aim of this study is to evaluate construction health and safety practices in construction projects in Mogadishu. The study also examines state of construction safety Practice and factors affecting safety implementation and Constraints in safety implementation in construction projects in Mogadishu. In order to achieve the objectives of this piece of study, a questionnaire was designed to study more about the construction safety practices in the construction projects. Eighty questionnaires were distributed mainly targeting the construction projects that are in progress. A descriptive method was used for data analysis. In conclusion, the study highlighted that the state of the construction safety practices in construction project in Mogadishu is very low. Poor legislation, codes, standards, and ineffectiveness of current safety policies were the main constraints in safety implementation in construction projects in Mogadishu Somalia. In order to improve the implementation of health and safety practices in building projects, the study proposed recommendations as follows: each construction projects must have their own safety and health policy also making safety as a pay item in contract document. Awareness on safety importance should be considered by all construction professionals. All companies should allocate enough budget and time for health and safety in their projects.

Experimental Investigation of a Self-Healing Concrete Considering Bacillus Megaterium Bacteri and Fibers : A Review
Authors(3) :-Vandana Bhargava, Akhilesh Sharma, Sandeep Gupta
It is strong enough to resist compressive load but prone to cracking due to weak in tension which ultimately reduce the life of structure. Hence, any effort to improve the life span of structure will indirectly improve the sustainability of the environment. Cracks in concrete lead to ingress of chemicals in to concrete structure resulting in lower strength and durability In this paper we are presenting review of literatures related to utilization of bacterial effect on concrete.
