Selected papers from the International Conference on Construction and Real Estate Management 2018, held in Charleston, South Carolina, August 9–10, 2018. Sponsored by the Modernization of Management Committee of the China Construction Industry Association and the Construction Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 34 peer-reviewed papers on sustainable construction and prefabrication. Topics include: decision making in green building development; life cycle cost of prefabrication; energy efficiency in green buildings; carbon emissions of buildings; and construction waste disposal. These papers will be of interest to construction professionals, researchers, planners, contractors, and banking and government officials.

Standard Practice for Direct Design of Precast Concrete Box Sections for Jacking in Trenchless Construction provides the latest in design and recommended installation procedures for precast concrete box sections for jacking in trenchless construction intended for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water and drainage, as well as for utilities and access ways. The Direct Design method accounts for the interaction between the box section and soil or grout envelope in determining loads and distribution of earth pressure on buried box sections, in addition to longitudinal loads due to jacking. The loads and pressure distributions are used to calculate circumferential moment, thrust, and shear in the wall/slab to determine required reinforcement. The design criteria include: structural aspects, such as circumferential flexure, thrust, and shear strengths; crack width control; longitudinal thrust produced by jacking; and handling and installation.

The use of marine outfalls to carry treated wastewater from land to sea is important for coastal municipalities and industries. Outfall projects present complex environmental, engineering, and construction challenges. Until now, however, very little practical information has been available to guide engineers, government officials, contractors, industries, and communities. Marine Outfall Construction contains practical guidance, detailed case studies, and more than 700 references. Grace explains why an outfall is the disposal method of choice. He uses his extensive offshore experience to describe the particular challenges that accompany a construction project at sea. He examines techniques for installing a pipeline underwater, including trestles, bottom-pull, horizontal directional drilling, crane barges, and robotics. He outlines specific obstacles to successful outfall construction, such as difficult sites and deep water locations, and he examines unique outfalls, along with those that turned out to be difficult or impossible to install. Appendixes include an annotated list of the major features of 400 global outfall projects, a technical summary of applicable wave-related concepts, and a discussion of immersed tubes.
