Automated Constructibility Analysis of Work-Zone Traffic-Control Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Constructibility, in simple words, is the ability to construct effectively. This study involved the development of a prototype system to perform highway constructibility analysis of traffic-control planning (TCP). The ...
Business Reengineering in a South American Oil Company
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The competitive environment of business today is the most challenging obstacle management must surmount in its quest for corporate success. In the past, corporations have applied several techniques such as automation, ...
Project Information Management System—Another Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, when it comes to project information management systems, any company can buy a developed software available in the market and adjust the needs of the company to the format of the software. Another approach is ...
Neuromodex—Neural Network System for Modular Construction Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an approach for decision making about construction modularization using neural networks. The model helps make a decision whether to use a conventional “stick‐built” method or to use some degree of ...
Constructability for Piping Automation: Field Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on how the productivity of semi‐automated piping construction for process plants may be improved through constructability‐enhancement tactics. This paper answers the question regarding how field operations ...
Constructibility Issues for Highway Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: State transportation agencies recognize the need for contract documents that will ensure rational bids and minimize problems during construction of facilities. A significant aspect of developing high-quality contract ...
Project Management Education and Training Process for Career Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The overall goal of this research project was to improve an organization’s core competency in construction project management in a focused and systematic manner, with the help of a formalized education and training model. ...
Knowledge‐Based Approach to Modular Construction Decision Support
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present paper focuses on the decision‐making methodology involved in deciding whether or not to use modular construction techniques in building a petrochemical or power plant. The paper identifies those factors that ...
DS^2: Drilled Shaft Decision Support System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to many uncontrollable and often unpredictable factors such as ground-water inflow rate, equipment availability and cost, weather, and various geological details, drilled shaft construction can become highly complex. ...
Integrating Constructability Tools into Constructability Review Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes research to develop a constructability review process (CRP) for transportation facilities. This process must incorporate tools to aid in performing constructability reviews. A comprehensive review of ...
