RISAnalysis of United Kingdom Off-Highway Construction Machinery Market and Its Consumers Using New-Sales Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The off-highway construction machinery market and its consumers have attracted minimal previous research. This study addresses that void by analyzing annual United Kingdom (UK) (
Antecedents of Health and Safety Issues Relating to Plant Trailer Wheels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wheel detachment from plant trailers used on public highways represents a significant health and safety hazard and major financial risk, especially for construction and utility companies that rely on these type of trailers ...
Work Stress, Support, and Mental Health in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction professionals are subjected to a plethora of occupational demands that can have a negative effect on their psychological wellbeing. Such demands can have an adverse influence on individual and organizational ...
Rework Causation: Emergent Theoretical Insights and Implications for Research
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rework is a chronic problem in construction and engineering projects. A wide variety of studies examining the nature of rework have been undertaken since the seminal research of Burati in the early 1990s, which examined ...
A Fuzzy-Based Evaluation of Financial Risks in Build–Own–Operate–Transfer Water Supply Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The build–own–operate–transfer (BOOT) scheme is widely used for the provision of new bulk water supply. However, this scheme is complex and carries significant financial risks because of the characteristics of the water ...
Divergence or Congruence? A Path Model of Rework for Building and Civil Engineering Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rework has been identified as a major contributor to cost and schedule overrun in construction projects. Previous studies that have examined rework are based on a limited data sets and thus eschew generalizations being ...
Design Error Classification, Causation, and Prevention in Construction Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction and engineering practitioners have found it increasingly difficult to learn from their mistakes, particularly with regard to the prevention, identification and/or containment of design errors. Yet, design ...
Time–Cost Relationships in Australian Building Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Project time–cost relationships were examined by using project scope factors as predictors for 161 construction projects that were completed in various Australian States using the multiple regression technique of weighted ...
Rework in Civil Infrastructure Projects: Determination of Cost Predictors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Within Australia, civil engineering works continue to meet the insatiable demand for new infrastructure despite project complexity and cost and schedule overruns. A significant factor that can contribute to such overruns ...
