Role of National Conditions in Occupational Fatal Accidents in the Construction Industry Using Interpretable Machine Learning Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Current national occupational safety and health (OSH) initiatives follow reactive approaches, i.e., if it breaks, fix it. Existing accounts, however, failed to improve national OSH performances substantially, which ...
Role of Shapley Additive Explanations and Resampling Algorithms for Contract Failure Prediction of Public–Private Partnership Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A public–private partnership (PPP) is a common procurement model implemented worldwide as a catalyst for economic growth and improved public infrastructure. However, due to their inherent characteristics, the risk of failure ...
Assessment of Life Cycle Risks of Deconstruction in Urban Regeneration Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deconstruction is the eco-friendly alternative to demolition. It can help reduce the waste stream from urban regeneration projects (URPs) to landfills. The literature, however, does not provide a sufficient theoretical ...
Assessment of Urban Flood Risk Factors Using Monte Carlo Analytical Hierarchy Process
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Sustainability of the built environment is endangered by urban floods, which the frequency and impact of which have increased incrementally due to rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, and insufficient ...
Assessment of Readability Risks in Contracts Causing Conflicts in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Readability and comprehensibility of contracts are important. A contract would be more practical and functional if the clauses can be interpreted more consistently. Therefore, an analysis of risks influencing readability ...
Stakeholder-Associated Life Cycle Risks in Construction Supply Chain
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Numerous inherent risks impose a systematic risk identification approach to achieve supply chain performance goals in construction projects. This paper investigates supply chain risks in construction projects with respect ...
Developing a Hybrid Fuzzy Decision-Making Model for Sustainable Circular Contractor Selection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The construction sector accounts for a significant proportion of natural resource consumption and waste generation. This reveals the essentiality for gravitating the operations in the industry toward more sustainable ...
Incorporating BIM and Green Building in Engineering Education: Assessment of a School Building for LEED Certification
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As a remedy to excessive amounts of energy consumption, adverse impacts on the environment, and ineffective use of resources in the construction industry, the number of green buildings (GBs) is increasing all over the ...
A Life Cycle Risk Management Framework for Green Building Project Stakeholders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry compromises the sustainability of the built environment because of its adverse impacts on the environment, economy, and society. In response, green building (GB) projects advocate for targeted ...
Predicting Cost Impacts of Nonconformances in Construction Projects Using Interpretable Machine Learning
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nonconformance (NCR) has long been a subject of research interest for its potential to extrapolate information leading to a more productive environment in construction projects. Despite a variety of traditional attempts, ...
