RISAssessing the Relationship between Constraint Management and Schedule Performance in Chilean and Colombian Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction projects are significantly affected by uncertainty and variability. Traditional management uses result-oriented indicators to control project performance, which present limitations to detecting and preventing ...
Achieving Lean Design Process: Improvement Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An improvement methodology is proposed for the design process in construction projects. Based on concepts and principles of lean production, the methodology considers the design process as a set of three different ...
Seismic Analysis Methods for Irregular Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A combined experimental and analytical study is made of the response to strong base motions of reinforced concrete structures having irregular vertical configurations. In the study, two frame‐wall structures are constructed ...
Improving Value Generation in the Design Process of Industrial Projects Using CAVT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents research results that describe how value generation can be improved in the design process of industrial projects when using computer advanced visualization tools (CAVT). The CAVT concept definition, ...
Impact of Using an E-Marketplace in the Construction Supply Process: Lessons from a Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The procurement process is critical for construction companies. To improve it, many are resorting to e-marketplaces although they usually do not know exactly how much they can gain by doing so. This paper describes a study ...
Impact of Machine-Failure Costs on Equipment Replacement Policies: Tunneling Company Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For those construction companies engaged in projects where production is controlled by equipment availability, with tunneling as maybe the most extreme example, equipment replacement policies affect not just the cost of a ...
Modeling Project Performance for Decision Making
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a performance modeling methodology for application to individual projects. The model combines experience captured from experts with assessments from the project team. The methodology consists of a ...
Selecting Long-Term Strategies for Construction Firms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A methodology to analyze construction firms' long-term strategies is described. This methodology provides a systematic approach to study and analyze external and internal scenarios for a construction firm doing strategic ...
UAV Integration in Current Construction Safety Planning and Monitoring Processes: Case Study of a High-Rise Building Construction Project in Chile
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The majority of construction fatalities and accidents in Chile occur in high-rise building construction projects that also suffer from an insufficient number of safety managers on-site. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ...
Structured Approach for Best-Value Evaluation Criteria: US Design–Build Highway Procurement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In best-value procurement, current practice shows that cost is frequently more influential than noncost factors, and consequently, the lowest bidder is chosen in most cases; thus, a best-value selection is not achieved. ...
