Fall and Rise of the Largest Construction Manager-at-Risk Transportation Construction Project Ever
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: All parties agree that the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) construction project got off to a bad start, but why did this project—so anxiously anticipated, so badly needed, and kicked off with such fanfare—seem destined for ...
Forecasting Completed Cost of Highway Construction Projects Using LASSO Regularized Regression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Finishing highway projects within budget is critical for state highway agencies (SHAs) because budget overruns can result in severe damage to their reputation and credibility. Cost overruns in highway projects have plagued ...
Quality-Based Contractor Rating Model for Qualification and Bidding Purposes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A quality contractor on every construction project would make project management simpler for Department of Transportation (DOT) project engineers and strategic planning more accurate for DOT executives. A qualification ...
Validation of Vibration-Based Onboard Asphalt Density Measuring System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The nuclear density gauge served the industry well for almost forty years as project owners performed quality control on the asphalt paving and compaction process. Recently, however, the responsibility for quality control ...
Role of Workforce Management in Bridge Superstructure Labor Productivity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There have been many studies on different aspects of the construction process in regard to how they each impact construction productivity. In reviewing the documentation of this research, very few articles were located ...
Budget and Schedule Success for Small Capital-Facility Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The project management environment of small capital projects is unique in many ways. One unique aspect is the total administrative burden they place on resources for approvals, reviews, and execution relative to the overall ...
