Abstract: The context of delays significantly affects delay responsibility. Among other things, recoverable damages for a delay should be related to the timing of the corresponding delay and its effect on indirect costs. This paper ...

Abstract: The construction industry has employed various schedule analysis techniques to support delay claims. Paradoxically, resource-related issues are frequently ignored even though they can affect project completion time, too. ...

Abstract: Proving and quantifying lost productivity due to cumulative impacts of multiple changes are difficult tasks. This paper presents the most acceptable methods from case law and demonstrates their applications for analyzing ...

Abstract: While various factors such as float ownership, logic change, and resource allocation (FLORA) affect results of delay analysis, existing delay analysis techniques tend to ignore most if not all of them. To address this ...

Abstract: Changes almost always occur on construction projects. Among other things, they can hurt labor productivity. The relationship between change and labor productivity, though commonly acknowledged, is not well understood. In ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the subject of concurrent delay from a general contractor (GC)-subcontractor perspective. When there is a concurrent delay by multiple subcontractors, or between the GC and other subcontractor(s), ...

Abstract: Fuzzy set theory (FST), especially its concepts of linguistic variables and fuzzy membership functions (FMFs), has been frequently used in construction risk assessment due to a lack of historical data and reliance on expert ...

Abstract: Although the construction industry has shown significant improvements in safety performance over the past 30 years, falls are still a leading cause of fatalities and serious injuries. Previous studies have focused on ...

Abstract: Construction schedules are uncertain in nature; therefore, predicting construction duration is a difficult task. Extensive research has proposed mathematical models to predict construction duration based on regression ...
