Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Selecting Appropriate Project Delivery System: Fuzzy Approach with Risk Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The selection of an appropriate project delivery system that suits all project and owner needs is one of the key decisions to a successful project. Therefore, this decision should be made based on thorough analysis. In ...
Equitable Resilience in Infrastructure Systems: Empirical Assessment of Disparities in Hardship Experiences of Vulnerable Populations during Service Disruptions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine social inequality in exposure and hardship experienced by various groups due to infrastructure service disruptions in disasters. After more than two decades, the existing literature ...
Preventing Low-Frequency High-Impact Incidents with a Zero-Injury Safety Culture
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
Ex-Ante Policy Analysis in Civil Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: According to the National Academy of Engineering, innovations such as intelligent transportation systems, alternative fuels, and smart grids are critical to enhancing the resilience and sustainability of infrastructure ...
Social Sensing in Disaster City Digital Twin: Integrated Textual–Visual–Geo Framework for Situational Awareness during Built Environment Disruptions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposed and tested an integrated textual–visual–geo framework to enhance social sensing techniques in smart city digital twins in the context of disasters. Effective and efficient disaster response and recovery ...
Metanetwork Framework for Analysis of Actor-Plan-Task-Infrastructure Networks in Resilience Planning and Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes a metanetwork framework for modeling dependent Actor-Plan-Task-Infrastructure networks. The proposed framework is able to quantitatively evaluate the extent to which coordination among actors and ...
Assessment of the Productivity of Nighttime Asphalt Paving Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Performing highway construction operations during nighttime hours has emerged as a response to traffic congestions caused by daytime lane closures. Work zone conditions at night may be different from those during the day, ...
Institutional Connectedness in Resilience Planning and Management of Interdependent Infrastructure Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to propose a framework for characterizing and analyzing institutional connectedness as an emerging property in the human system affecting resilience planning and management in interdependent ...
Establishing a Future-Proofing Framework for Infrastructure Projects to Proactively Adapt to Complex Regulatory Landscapes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Infrastructure projects experience different regulatory impacts during permitting, operations, and decommissioning. However, no framework is in place to provide a foundation for infrastructure operators and administrators ...
