Abstract: Partnership procurement approach is increasingly been adopted as an innovative approach for infrastructural procurement in developing countries. This paper assessed critical constructs for the adoption of partnership procurement approach for sustainable development of water supply projects in Nigeria. In most Nigerian urban cities majority of the citizens have no access to safe drinking water, the existing public water source manage and operated by states water boards is challenge with unsteady power supply, dilapidated treatment plants and pipes and lack of basic maintenance procedures. Quantitative research method was adopted, questionnaire was used in collecting data from randomly selected construction procurement parties. 71 retrieved usable questionnaires out of the 100 copies distributed were analyzed with descriptive statistics and relative important index (RII), items were ranked in order of importance towards adopting partnership procurement approach for water supply projects.

Abstract: The collapse of building structures during recent earthquakes, particularly in the countries around the Kurdistan region (KR), such as Turkey (2011 Van earthquake) and Iran (2003 Bam earthquake), has raised many questions about the safety of existing buildings in the region and those structures that are going to be constructed in the future. The KR, which is located in the north and northeastern parts of Iraq, is also considered to be the most hazardous part of Iraq. However, many buildings in the region, especially the unreinforced masonry buildings, were not engineered to withstand seismic loads. This paper investigates the seismic fragility of existing unreinforced masonry buildings in KR in terms of their fragility curve and surface using an analytical approach. This study considers many factors, including the variability of the mechanical properties of materials, ground motion intensity measures (IMs), a number of ground motion records and their effect on the selection of IMs and
