RISAssessing Building Information Modeling Estimating Techniques Using Data from the Classroom
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the main applications of building information modeling (BIM) in the construction management process is estimating. BIM has proven to offer great advantages over traditional estimating methods. There are, however, ...
Queuing Model for Assessing the Efficiency of Building Corridors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Models of occupant flow in buildings represent powerful tools for improving safety and efficiency of occupant movements in large public buildings. The ability to predict the movement of people is valuable from the view ...
Design of Braced and Unbraced Cantilevered Steel False Work

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Detection and Quantity Determination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures provides the means to recycle the existing roadway and use that material, in a limited amount, in the construction of new pavements. This is an environmentally ...
Solving the Least-Cost Route Cut and Fill Sequencing Problem Using Particle Swarm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several researchers have attempted to formulate and solve different classes of the earthwork allocation problem. Linear programming (LP) and integer programming (IP) techniques have traditionally been applied to minimize ...
Developing a Decision Support Tool for Nighttime Construction in Highway Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a decision support tool that is intended to help highway agencies in evaluating the suitability of nighttime construction for highway projects. This tool was developed as part of a research project ...
Decision Support System for Housing Developers in Developing Countries under Uncertain Buyer Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The financing of housing projects is an essential component for solving the housing problem in developing countries. Traditional cash flow models for housing developments do not consider the stochastic nature of buyer ...
Neural Networks Model for Prediction of Construction Material Prices in Egypt Using Macroeconomic Indicators
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Adequate cost estimation at the planning phase is an integral part of a construction project’s success. Many uncertainties disturb the planners’ initial estimations and lead to cost overruns. Although many researchers ...
Design and Characteristics of a Novel Casuarina Glauca Wooden K-Truss Formwork
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Beam-Truss wooden joists and stringers have been used extensively in the construction of reinforced-concrete floors in recent years due to their strength and ease of assembly and shuttering. However, the high price of such ...
Design and Constructability of Novel Extendable Arched Steel Truss Falsework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Formwork is a very important component in the construction industry and can have major impacts on a project’s budget. The process of selecting a suitable formwork system becomes very important in avoiding budget overruns ...
