Abstract: Current construction hazard identification mostly relies on safety managers’ ability to identify hazards using their prior knowledge about them. Consequently, numerous latent hazards remain unidentified, which poses ...

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 ...

Abstract: Learning-curve theory has been applied to construction activities due to their labor-intensive and repetitive features. However, previous research argued that the effect of the learning curve does not exist in construction ...

Abstract: Severe weather can adversely affect the scheduling of construction projects. It is very important to be able to estimate the delay that would result from such severe weather because construction contracts generally ...

Abstract: Many work-related risk factors can cause accidents on construction sites. Considering the varied characteristics of these sites, risks within the same type of work can differ. Furthermore, the established safety management ...

Abstract: The repetitive occurrence of similar accidents in construction is one of the most prevalent characteristics of construction accidents. Similar accident cases provide direct information for determining the risks of scheduled ...

Abstract: Establishing housing supply strategies in a stagnant housing market is a significant issue because of two contradictory and concurrent problems. The first is the long-cherished desire to supply low-cost housing for low- ...

Abstract: Each participant in a building construction project requires a dedicated work space in which to execute their activities. In this environment, inappropriate work-space planning in a construction site causes work-space ...

Abstract: Adding new laborers during construction is usually considered the easiest option to execute when a schedule delay occurs in a construction project. However, determining the proper number of new laborers to add is quite ...

Abstract: Because diverse functional losses of the overall built environment (e.g., buildings, industrial facilities, and civil infrastructure) from a disaster event cause tremendous inconveniences to refugees, it is essential to ...
