RISUrban Transportation Impacts of Tall Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large cities in all parts of the United States are experiencing large development and redevelopment projects in their downtown areas. Regardless of the land‐use activities involved, the maintenance of basic levels of ...
Hazard-Based Duration Models for Predicting Actual Duration of Highway Projects Using Nonparametric and Parametric Survival Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the preconstruction phases of project development, facility stakeholders typically seek reliable estimates of project duration. This paper shows how hazard-based duration models could be used to forecast the actual ...
Quantifying the Similarity between Different Project Types Based on Their Pay Item Compositions: Application to Bundling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Similarity between project types is an important consideration in several contexts of construction management, including contract development, contractor selection, and project bundling. Projects that require similar types ...
Influence of Project Bundling on Maintenance of Traffic Costs across Highway Project Types
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Maintenance of traffic (MOT) is the process of providing transportation management and traffic control at highway work zones. MOT work is an essential part of any construction project and can constitute a significant ...
Public Acceptance of and Confidence in Navigating Intersections with Alternative Designs: A Bivariate Ordered Probit Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public opposition to alternative intersection/interchange designs can be a large barrier to their implementation, even when they have safety and efficiency benefits. This study evaluated the factors influencing perceptions ...
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis using Deterministic and Stochastic Methods: Conflicting Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Life-cycle cost analysis is an essential approach to differentiating alternative rehabilitation strategies for steel bridge paint systems. An economic analysis (EA), which is a deterministic method, and the Markov decision ...
Life-Cycle Cost Based Maintenance Plan for Steel Bridge Protection Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Life-cycle cost analysis was used to compare different alternative strategies for steel bridge paint systems. It was also used as a tool for steel bridge paint rehabilitation planning. The existing paint systems are ...
Statewide Performance Function for Steel Bridge Protection Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A performance function is the relationship between the bridge paint condition rating and time. This function reflects the level of service of the bridge paint. The performance functions of steel bridge paint for state ...
Determining Viable Sizes for Indiana Communities Based on Essential Establishments and Services
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The percentage of Americans living in urban areas increases every year. This movement of people away from rural areas can reduce economic activity and lower quality of life in small communities. Because of the subjectivity ...
Addressing the Local-Road VMT Estimation Problem Using Spatial Interpolation Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) data have a wide range of applications in highway agency business processes. However, at all administrative levels, highway agencies continue to be stymied by the poor reliability of local-road ...
