RISSafety4Site Commitment to Enhance Jobsite Safety Management and Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety management is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. Effective safety management not only reduces contractors’ incident rates and compensation costs, it also enhances productivity and efficiency ...
Multilevel Safety Culture and Climate Survey for Assessing New Safety Program
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction safety culture is becoming a typical proactive safety performance measurement and strategy for safety improvement. However, there is no accepted industry wide definition for safety culture. There is also no ...
Overview of Concrete Recycling Legislation and Practice in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recycling concrete waste helps reduce the negative environmental impacts of construction activities. Worldwide, concrete recycling rates and available applications for recycled concrete vary widely. A deep understanding ...
Comparison of Data Mining Techniques for Predicting Compressive Strength of Environmentally Friendly Concrete

Analysis of Reset Control Systems Consisting of a FORE and Second-Order Loop1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reset controllers consist of two parts—a linear compensator and a reset element. The linear compensator is designed, in the usual ways, to meet all closed-loop performance specifications while ...
Automatic Loop-Shaping of QFT Controllers Via Linear Programming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we focus on the following loop-shaping problem: Given a nominal plant and QFT bounds, synthesize a controller that achieves closed-loop stability, satisfies the QFT bounds and has ...
Multiperspective Approach to Exploring Comprehensive Cause Factors for Interface Issues
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The severity of interface issues and the necessity of interface management (IM) have not received adequate recognition from both industry and academia. The understanding of interface issues is still insufficient and the ...
Object Model Framework for Interface Modeling and IT-Oriented Interface Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The intense complexity of interfaces in a construction project makes information technology (IT) applications a must for effective interface management (IM). This largely requires a unified, accurate, and efficient way of ...
Understanding a Contractor’s Regional Variations in Safety Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Contractors’ safety performance can vary widely in the construction industry. However, it has not been well recognized that variations in safety performance could exist in the same contractor’s regional offices. There is ...
Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram-Based Integral Sliding Mode Perimeter Control for Oversaturated Regions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD)-based perimeter control has a potential to improve traffic throughput and relieve the overall congestion. In practice, not only the MFD but also the traffic demand suffers from a variety ...
