RISAdoption Inequalities and Causal Relationship between Residential Electric Vehicle Chargers and Heat Pumps
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The building sector has implemented code requirements to promote the adoption of all-electric heating systems and electric vehicle (EV)-ready in new construction, aligning with electrification goals. However, existing ...
Deconstructing the Construction Industry: A Spatiotemporal Clustering Approach to Profitability Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Structural Equation Modeling for the Determinants of International Infrastructure Investment: Evidence from Chinese Contractors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: International infrastructure investment can effectively accelerate infrastructure development in developing countries and thus support their social and economic progress. However, little is known of the factors that may ...
ACT<sup>2</sup>: Time–Cost Tradeoffs from Alternative Contracting Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Incentive/disincentive (I/D) and cost-plus-time (A+B) are two of the most widely used alternative contracting methods (ACMs) for accelerating the construction of highway infrastructure improvement projects. However, little ...
Formal Prevention through Design Process and Implementation for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Worker Safety
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There are many studies that focus on Prevention through Design (PtD) for construction workers and developing formalized PtD processes for construction projects. However, few studies have aimed at developing a formalized ...
Alignment between Lean Principles and Practices and Worker Safety Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Alignment and synergy between the areas of lean construction and safety management are expected because all near misses and injury incidents represent waste from the lean perspective. This paper describes a research study ...
Design of an Infrastructure Project Using a Point-Based Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Our experience in engineering education and practice indicates that methodologies for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) design management are characterized only to a limited extent. In domains other than ...
Target-Setting Practice for Loans for Commercial Energy-Retrofit Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Overcoming the financial barriers to energy-efficiency (EE) investments requires efforts to explicitly evaluate energy-related risks during the commercial loan underwriting. To support such efforts, the objective of this ...
Determining Future Maintenance Costs of Low-Volume Highway Rehabilitation Projects for Incorporation into Life-Cycle Cost Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) has grown in importance, yet it is also regarded as a daunting task, because of the lack of reliable analytical models specifically aimed at quantifying future maintenance costs (FMC). The ...
Value Engineering for Roadway Expansion Project over Deep Thick Soft Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A roadway expansion that takes place on soft ground is susceptible to differential settlement because of the high consolidation of soft soils. Therefore, steps must be taken to lessen the risk of such settlement; yet, this ...
