RISRisk-Based Prioritization Approach to Construction Inspections for Transportation Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Throughout the execution of highway construction projects, inspections are essential for maintaining project quality and ensuring greater traffic safety. Transportation agencies, however, have decreased the frequency of ...
Risk-Based Inspection Model for Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a critical component in highway construction projects. There is a lack of studies that have investigated the causal relationship between inspection activities and quality of HMA pavement. This study ...
Impact of Risk on Design-Build Selection for Highway Design and Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design-build (DB) project delivery method continues to grow as a viable alternative delivery method for highway projects. The primary reason for selecting DB delivery is to take advantage of the time savings inherent ...
Risk-Based Project Delivery Selection Model for Highway Design and Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Project-delivery methods allocate risk for design and construction between contractual parties. State departments of transportation (DOTs) using federal funds employ three primary project-delivery methods: (1) design-bid-build ...
Measurement of Fuzzy Membership Functions in Construction Risk Assessment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fuzzy set theory (FST), especially its concepts of linguistic variables and fuzzy membership functions (FMFs), has been frequently used in construction risk assessment due to a lack of historical data and reliance on expert ...
A Hybrid Prioritization Model for Funding School Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects Using Data Envelopment Analysis and Linear Programming Algorithms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public school buildings often require regular inspections and effective maintenance strategies to ensure their proper functional performance and safety. Because of budget constraints, school buildings always did not receive ...
Predicting Safety Risk of Working at Heights Using Bayesian Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although the construction industry has shown significant improvements in safety performance over the past 30 years, falls are still a leading cause of fatalities and serious injuries. Previous studies have focused on ...
A Hybrid Cross-Impact Approach to Predicting Cost Variance of Project Delivery Decisions for Highways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Construction Management Challenges and Best Practices for Rural Transit Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rural transit projects are often small in scope but numerous and geographically dispersed. Management of these projects can be challenging because of very limited resources, unique risk factors, and a lack of construction ...
