RISSmart Garage Development Problem: Model Formulation and Solution Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming increasingly popular. In the next several years, all major vehicle manufacturers will introduce PEVs, either as battery electric vehicles (BEVs), such as the Nissan Leaf, or ...
Determination of Required Falling Weight Deflectometer Testing Frequency for Pavement Structural Evaluation at the Network Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently, a structural condition index (SCI) was developed for the Texas Department of Transportation as a screening tool to discriminate between pavements that need structural reinforcement from those that do not. For the ...
Applying Method of Moments to Model Reliability of Pavements Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Even though the concepts of pavement reliability and risk-based design have been recognized for a long time, probabilistic pavement design methods are often limited to the application of Monte Carlo simulation or Taylor ...
The Resource-Based View on Project Risk Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The benefits of conducting risk analyses in the planning of construction projects are widely acknowledged. However, the actual implementation of procedures notably differs significantly across industry segments. Even within ...
Risk-Based Model for Valuation of Performance-Specified Pavement Maintenance Contracts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many transportation agencies have started outsourcing maintenance activities to contractors by means of performance-based contracts. These outsourcing contracts are intended to transfer performance-based risk from ...
Structural Network Measures for Risk Assessment of Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Risk assessment is an integral part of project management; however, its implementation is often challenging. One of the key challenges is how to collect reliable data for modeling risks. The objective of this paper is to ...
Effects of Pavement Spatial Variability on Contractor’s Management Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Performance-based maintenance contracts are becoming an increasingly popular method of outsourcing pavement maintenance work. These contracts transfer performance-related risks to contractors with the objective of reducing ...
Optimal Pipeline Maintenance Strategies in the United States: Stochastic Reliability Analysis of Gas Pipeline Network Failures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The increasing number of corrosion-based incidents in pipeline systems within recent decades has encouraged decision makers to focus on predicting when pipelines will fail, and to improve maintenance strategies. Policymakers ...
Network Theory–Driven Construction Logic Knowledge Network: Process Modeling and Application in Highway Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Determining a reasonable project duration is one of the most critical activities required by project owner agencies for successful project letting and delivery. Most owner agencies, specifically in the highway sector, ...
Sequential Machine Learning for Activity Sequence Prediction from Daily Work Report Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: It is critical for project owners to have a reasonable estimation of project duration before the letting date for contract time determination and project management purposes. To determine the project duration, highway ...
