RISEvaluation of Economic Impact of Three-Dimensional Modeling in Precast Concrete Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sophisticated three-dimensional parametric modeling software for design and detailing of precast/prestressed concrete construction is currently under development. The technology holds the potential to reduce costs, shorten ...
Agent-Based Simulation of General Contractor–Subcontractor Interactions in a Multiproject Environment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The behavioral dynamics of general contractors and subcontractors in bidding, construction planning, and production control influence the outcomes of construction projects. To date, researchers have modeled these interactions ...
Clustering Information Types for Semantic Enrichment of Building Information Models to Support Automated Code Compliance Checking
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Missing, incomplete, implicit, and/or incorrect information are major obstacles to automated code compliance checking in the construction industry. All existing platforms for automated code checking require users to ...
Production Control in Earthworks: Concepts and Metrics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The lean construction theoretical lens afforded by the Transformation-Flow-Value (TFV) theory has led to changes in the way production is understood in building construction projects. However, this new perception of ...
Impacts of the Social Subcontract and Last Planner System Interventions on the Trade-Crew Workflows of Multistory Residential Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite empirical evidence of the effects of the Last Planner System. (LPS), the mechanisms by which it works are less well understood. Its strengthening of the social networks within construction projects implies the ...
Practical Multifactor Approach to Evaluating Risk of Investment in Engineering Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk analysis is crucial in enabling management to make informed decisions regarding the economic viability of engineering projects. In most building construction projects, sophisticated risk assessment methods are not ...
Longitudinal Study of BIM Adoption by Public Construction Clients
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) adoption is driven in part by the government and other large public procurement agencies mandating its use. A longitudinal study of BIM adoption in three major public agencies (two in ...
Impacts of the Social Subcontract and Last Planner System Interventions on the Trade-Crew Workflows of Multistory Residential Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite empirical evidence of the effects of the Last Planner System. (LPS), the mechanisms by which it works are less well understood. Its strengthening of the social networks within construction projects implies the ...
Effects of the Last Planner System on Social Networks among Construction Trade Crews
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lean system thinking concerning the mechanics of construction production systems suggests that the Last Planner System (LPS) improves workflow by creating pull flow and by filtering work packages for maturity. However, ...
