Abstract: Although a stochastic simulation study can eliminate the merge event bias in the project evaluation and review technique (PERT), the errors due to calculating the statistical descriptors of beta distributions with the ...

Abstract: The methodology of discrete-event simulation provides a promising alternative solution to designing and analyzing dynamic, complicated, and interactive construction systems. In this paper, an attempt is made to extend the ...

Abstract: Industrial construction employs various trades in large-scale prefabrication operations to produce modules and structural components at an offsite facility that will be shipped to the field for rapid installation. Developing ...

Abstract: The logic of an artificial intelligence (AI) model derived from machine learning algorithms and domain-specific data is analogous to an expert’s perception of a complex problem. Human insight based on know-how and experience ...

Abstract: This research devises a risk indexing method to assess the occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards associated with major sources of energy in the construction field, providing numerical inputs to project plan and ...

Abstract: The present research describes the fundamental working mechanism of photogrammetry and characterizes the errors of the photogrammetry-derived geometric measurements on building products in a systematic, practical, and ...
