Abstract: There have been substantial changes in both material technology and construction productivity over the past several decades. By analyzing the changes in both material technology and productivity among 100 construction ...

Abstract: The purpose of this research effort is to identify the effectiveness of a particular set of important management programs in improving construction labor productivity. These programs were previously defined through industry ...

Abstract: A flocculator-imaging system was developed to characterize the dynamics of particle size distribution (PSD) during flocculation. The system consisted of a flocculator coupled with an external flow-through cell for observation ...

Abstract: Information technology (IT) has been used to increase automation and integration of information systems on construction projects for over two decades. However, evidence that overall costs have been reduced or project ...

Abstract: Although some new technologies promise to improve construction productivity, their ability to deliver is not always realized. Building on a great deal of prior research, a four-stage predictive model was developed and ...
