2. Why th|s course?

lL comes from my resume and my background so leL me Lell you
abouL LhaL.
Aer graduaung wlLh a 8.Sc.degree ln Clvll Lnglneerlng, l was
accepLed ln 8onyadMaskan(1he lranlan nauonal Pouslng
Crganlzauon) [1], whlch ls responslble for reconsLrucuon and
reLromng damaged bulldlngs. l had been worklng Lhere only ve
monLhs when Lhe earLhquake occurred ln 8am. lL was a nauonal
crlsls. We had Lo supporL Lhem under very sLressful and dlre
clrcumsLances. 1here were over 30,000 vlcums.
Aer Lhe earLhquake, Lhe reconsLrucuon program became Lhe maln
concern of Lhe governmenL and local auLhorlues.
Cne of Lhe pracucal meLhods whlch had been proposed ln mosL, lf
noL all, parLs of lran was uslng prefabrlcaLed screw sLeel sLrucLures
l had been appolnLed as manager for Lhe producuon and LransporL
of prefabrlcaLed sLeel sLrucLures.
1here were pros and cons abouL uslng Lhose sLrucLure .
Lhey had been noL only produclng wlLh hlgh quallLy and
hlgh speed buL also could be assembled easlly ln a few ume
wlLh only Lwo labors .
Conversely, Lhere had been a greaL deal of heaLed
dlssecuon regardlng Lhe lssue of uslng prefabrlcaLed sLeel
sLrucLure because
1- ls Lhe problem abouL Lhe Lypes of sLrucLures wlLhouL
paylng auenuon Lhe archlLecLure
2-ls Lhe locauon of producuon facLory.
producuon facLorles were locaLed far from raw maLerlal
facLory an also crlsls zone so We should pay more Lo
LransporLauon wlLh spendlng more ume.
1- oor managemenL of Lhe manufacLurer
2- uelay of raw maLerlal Lo Lhe facLory due Lo cold weaLher, freezlng cycles, eLc.,
because some of Lhe facLorles were so far from Lhe sLeel producuon facLory.
3- Some of Lhe maLerlals are noL accordlng Lo Lhe sLandard and CCu, so Lhey are noL
approved by supervlsors, and are re[ecLed by Lhem.
4- Some of Lhe sLrucLures whlch had been senL Lo Lhe crlsls zone had been re[ecLed by Lhe
seulemenL lnspecLor because of cheaung by some producers or lmpreclse supervlslon ln
Lhe facLory, Lherefore Lhey wasLe so much ume ull reformed. Long ume and large budgeL
spenL due Lo Lhese problems.
3- uellvery delays due Lo lack of sumclenL supply of vehlcles and weaLher condluons
6- Lack of adequaLe supervlslon due Lo facLory scauerlng
7- Plgh LransporLauon cosLs
So lL had made a blg quesuon on my mlnd? ...
WhaL should l do ?
l recorded by camera Lhe process of sLeel
sLrucLure process and share and Leach for who
auend Lhe class ? ... WhaL ls Lhe besL way Lo
opumlzauon ?
unforLunaLely, desplLe Lhe many dlerenL
crlses LhaL occur regularly ln lran, such as
oods, wars, and earLhquakes, emergency
procedures ln lran are noL well developed or
documenLed
So l am really keen Lo learn abouL
opumlzauon and nd Lhe beuer way Lo gulde
pro[ecLs wlLh mlnlmal ume and cosL .

8uL Lhere are many dlerenL condluon and . llmlLauon and as you know
lL ls lmmedlaLely obvlous LhaL lran ls a large counLry wlLh dlerenL sources of
maLerlal, labour, eLc.
so lL ls compleLely loglcal Lo propose dlerenL meLhods for dlerenL zones.
lor example, proposlng

many Lrees and planLs,
concreLe ln Lhe souLh of lran due Lo Lhe close proxlmlLy Lo sands and
gravels, and sLeel and
masonry ln Lhe wesL and easL as many sLones are Lhere.
ln addluon, Lhere are dlerenL Lypes of soll Lo make dlerenL Lype of blocks
Lo use as a lnLerlor and exLerlor walls ln dlerenL zones.
When l consldered a posslblllLy a slmllar
earLhquake ln 1ehran, l reallzed lL would be
as a world crlsls l shocked when l reallzed
more Lhan 4 mllllon people wlll be kllled by
