Abstract: This research is a numerical approach to the integration of the time and cost data sets for construction projects, which addresses the conflicts between them. Mathematical matrices are introduced to show the interrelationships ...

Abstract: Since the effects of external conditions, such as limited resource supplies and poor working environments in damaged regions, are critical to facility restoration projects after a catastrophic disaster, a lack of understanding ...

Abstract: During the construction process, there occur many unexpected events that hinder timely completion of a project. One plausible solution in formulating a robust plan against such uncertainties is to provide the proper ...

Abstract: Network scheduling is typically performed in three phases—network creation, analysis, and development. Although the critical path method (CPM) constitutes a well-established logic in network analysis, human intuition and ...

Abstract: The importance of information systems (IS) implementation in construction management has grown rapidly, and therefore, a more practical method for IS planning is required. Prioritizing the construction management processes ...

Abstract: Although the Korean government reported a housing supply ratio of more than 100% in the early 2000s, regional and class disparities in the Korean housing sector have not been correspondingly alleviated. Unfortunately, many ...

Abstract: Increasingly adopted by both public and private organizations, design-build (DB) has become a favored construction project delivery system, outperforming other systems in terms of cost, schedule, and quality. However, DB ...

Abstract: For construction to progress smoothly, effective cost estimation is vital, particularly in the conceptual and schematic design stages. In these early phases, despite the fact that initial estimates are highly sensitive to ...

Abstract: Case-based reasoning (CBR) utilizes old solutions to solve a present problem. However, as no past situation is ever exactly the same as a new one, old solutions should be fitted for new circumstances, which is called case ...

Abstract: As large-scale building projects increase in frequency, their construction costs become a matter of great concern, especially because of their lengthy construction periods. In particular, recent volatile fluctuations of ...
