Identification and Reduction of Synchronous Replacements in Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Equipment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a methodology used to calculate the total cost of a project from initial planning to final disposal. In conventional approaches, LCCA assumes that regular and preventive maintenance will ...
CBR Revision Model for Improving Cost Prediction Accuracy in Multifamily Housing Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For any construction project to succeed, it is very important to accurately estimate the construction cost during the project’s initial stage. This is why there has been much interest lately in cost prediction models that ...
Application of Case-Based Reasoning for Estimating Preliminary Duration of Building Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The applicability and effectiveness of case-based reasoning (CBR) have been demonstrated in various construction management areas, including bidding, international market selection, safety hazard identification, construction ...

Abstract: The applicability and effectiveness of case-based reasoning (CBR) have been demonstrated in various construction management areas, including bidding, international market selection, safety hazard identification, construction ...
Selection Model for Delivery Methods for Multifamily-Housing Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Selecting an appropriate delivery method that will achieve a project’s objectives and characteristics is one of the most critical factors for the project’s success. A selection model for this study was developed by using ...
Partnering Process Model for Public-Sector Fast-Track Design-Build Projects in Korea
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of design-build project delivery in the public sector has increased rapidly since the early 1990s due to its advantages over traditional delivery methods, particularly in terms of shortening the overall project ...
Characteristics of Contractor’s Liabilities for Defects and Defective Work in Korean Public Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modern buildings and civil structures are complex undertakings and involve the use of a great variety of engineering methods and processes. Therefore most projects face the possibility of defects and defective work, which ...
Effect of Delivery Methods on Design Performance in Multifamily Housing Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing studies on the performance evaluation by the delivery method generally indicate that the design build (DB) method is superior to the design-bid-build (DBB) method in terms of construction duration, cost, and ...
Improving Accuracy of Early Stage Cost Estimation by Revising Categorical Variables in a Case-Based Reasoning Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the overall success of a construction project, it is very important to accurately estimate the construction cost from the early stage. However, the limited information available in the early stage makes the cost ...
