Surrounding environment has immense effect in construction plan, site management, costs and implementation. On the contrary, it affects the workmanship's availability as well as material availability. Moreover, duration of a certain projects also depend on the impact of environment. Effect of climate, rainfall, humidity and temperature are the noticeable fact in the paper. This article represents the environmental effect of a particular place in Rajshahi city of Bangladesh which is known as RUET campus. Outcome of the investigation shows that the significant effect can be observed in the various ingredients of environment as well as construction project.

Many of the buried cast-iron pipes are over fifty years old and require rehabilitation. Municipalities decide on a rehabilitation solution between the replacement and re-use of the existing pipes based on the remaining strengths of the pipes. Fracture mechanics has appeared as the most viable tool for remaining strength assessment of the deteriorating pipes. However, a method of assessing the stress intensity factor (SIF) is often not available to municipal engineers to apply fracture mechanics. This paper presents a method for calculating the SIFs of buried cast iron pipes subjected to corrosion and crack on the exterior surface. Different semi-elliptical-shaped defects were characterized using various aspect ratios (crack-depth to crack-length ratio) and relative depths (crack-depth to pipe thickness ratio). The SIFs were assessed for invert/crown and springline position cracks under internal pressure and vertical surface loads. A simplified method is proposed for evaluating the SIFs of buried pipes subjected to the exterior surface defects.
