RISModeling Blockage Failures in Sewer Systems to Support Maintenance Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this research is to develop and implement a stochastic method that can be applied to characterize random failures in critical infrastructure systems. We particularly focus on blockage failures in sewer ...
Calculation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Highway Construction Operations by Using a Hybrid Life-Cycle Assessment Approach: Case Study for Pavement Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large quantities of greenhouse gases (GHG) are emitted in producing and acquiring materials for the construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of highway infrastructure. The objective of this paper is to develop and ...
Modeling the Construction Management Process to Support Situational Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction managers are decision makers who administer nontrivial processes. The replacement of highly experienced construction managers and other construction professionals is a laborious process for the industry. This ...
Multi-Agent Framework for General-Purpose Situational Simulations in the Construction Management Domain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need for contextually rich education environments in construction management suggests the development of a general-purpose situational simulation framework that can be used by independent developers to build effective ...
Interval Temporal Logic in General-Purpose Situational Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The need for contextually rich educational environments in construction engineering and management calls for the development of situational simulations. Situational simulations emulate real processes and provide temporally ...
General-Purpose Situational Simulation Environment for Construction Education
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The traditional construction education model based on precise well-defined problems and formal definitions is not satisfactorily fulfilling its mission of educating the decision makers of tomorrow. This realization has ...
Life Cycle Thinking-Informed Approach to Support Pavement Design Decision Making
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sustainable design of pavements requires the satisfaction of performance criteria, cost, and environmental impacts. Improvements in each of these aspects cannot always be achieved at the same time, necessitating the explicit ...
Life Cycle Information Models: Parameterized Linked Data Structures to Facilitate the Consistent Use of Life-Cycle Assessment in Decision Making
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The recent enactment of the Buy Clean Act (2017) in California requires highway construction contractors to produce an environmental product declaration (EPD) at the point of installation for a list of all eligible ...
Using Agent-Based Modeling to Study Construction Labor Productivity as an Emergent Property of Individual and Crew Interactions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lean construction research has shown that managing work flow effectively and maintaining labor flow on site can improve construction labor performance. Related research also shows that congestion on construction sites often ...
