Why Cost and Schedule Overruns on Mega Oil Sands Projects?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Developing and constructing oil sand megaprojects are huge technological, engineering, and construction achievements for Alberta and Canada. Thousands of engineering and project management professionals and workers are ...
Automated Real-Time Monitoring System to Measure Shift Production of Tunnel Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The productivity of a tunnel construction project can deviate from the predicted plan due to many factors, such as equipment failure, weather conditions and unexpected soil characteristics. Early detection of such deviations ...
CTAN for Risk Assessments Using Multilevel Stochastic Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Measuring projects’ cost and schedule risks in an integrated framework using simulation has several modeling challenges that have yet to be addressed by researchers. This paper presents a multilevel network modeling approach ...
Decision Tree Modeling Using Integrated Multilevel Stochastic Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Decision trees (DTs) have proven to be valuable tools for decision making. The common approach for using DTs is calculating the expected value (EV) based on single-number estimates, but the single-number EV method has ...
Streamlining the Construction Productivity Improvement Process with the Proposed Role of a Construction Productivity Improvement Officer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction productivity improvement has become a key area of focus among academia and industry over the last decade attributable to its strong potential in benefitting the construction industry. Despite its high impact ...
Innovation in Construction Engineering Education Using Two Applications of Internet-Based Information Technology to Provide Real-Time Project Observations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
