Constructability Assessment Model for Commercial Building Designs in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the early design stage of construction projects, designers often rely on rules of thumb to make critical decisions about the geometry, construction systems, and materials of their designs without evaluating construction ...
Integrated Framework of Modified Accident Energy Release Model and Network Theory to Explore the Full Complexity of the Hangzhou Subway Construction Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Hangzhou subway construction collapse (HZSCC) is a serious accident that caused the most casualties in China’s subway construction history. This disaster took place on November 15, 2008, causing 21 fatalities and 24 ...
Framework for UAS-Integrated Airport Runway Design Code Compliance Using Incremental Mosaic Imagery
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Airport inspections are essential to ensuring the safety of aircraft operation for the general public. The current, manual, approach to inspection consumes a significant amount of time. Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are ...
Exploratory Study of Potential Applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems for Construction Management Tasks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite studies exploring potential applications of unmanned aerial systems (UASs), the particular use and value of visual assets (photographs or video) collected with UASs for construction management tasks is not well ...
BIM and GIS Integration and Interoperability Based on Semantic Web Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When making design and construction decisions, planners must consider information from different scales and domains. Currently, building and geospatial data are shared and exchanged through a common data format, such as ...

Multilevel Goal Model for Decision-Making in UAS Visual Inspections in Construction and Infrastructure Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many studies have discussed unmanned aircraft system (UAS) applications for infrastructure conditions and construction project inspections. However, the industry currently faces significant challenges that hinder the use ...
BIM2MAR: An Efficient BIM Translation to Mobile Augmented Reality Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mobile augmented reality (MAR) provides an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use method of accessing information in an intuitive way by visually parsing the environment and relating information in the form of augmentations to ...
Using Grounded Theory Methodology to Explore the Information of Precursors Based on Subway Construction Incidents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precursor management has been studied and applied across a wide range of industries. The findings demonstrate that knowledge of precursors can provide an opportunity to avoid incidents and further safety performance. A ...
Effect of Safety and Environmental Variables on Task Durations in Steel Erection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In spite of the efforts by government agencies, labor organizations, and researchers in the field of health and safety, injuries and fatalities continue to affect the construction industry. In 2002 the construction industry ...
