Abstract: Addressing ergonomic risk factors in modular construction is critical to enhancing the productivity of production lines and reducing the societal cost burden for worker recovery. Ergonomics-driven workplace design is thus ...

Abstract: Modular-based heavy industrial projects, which involve a large number of lifts on congested and/or dynamic site layouts, require not only the design and selection of efficient mobile crane operations but also rapid and ...

Abstract: In heavy industrial construction, the on-site approach to construction is being gradually replaced by the off-site (modular-based) construction method, which is faster, results in better-quality products, and is more ...

Abstract: The construction manufacturing industry in North America has a disproportionately high number of lost-time injuries because of the high physical demand of the labor-intensive tasks it involves. It is thus essential to ...

Abstract: The successful completion of modular-based heavy industrial construction projects relies heavily on safe and efficient crane operations, which have a direct impact on project productivity. Corresponding to the design of ...

Abstract: A construction contract is a mutually agreed upon and signed document by the contracting parties and plays a significant role in controlling and preventing disputes in a project. This paper’s main objective is to develop ...

Abstract: On-site construction of industrial projects relies heavily on large mobile cranes for the lifting of prefabricated modules, which over the years have become heavier and more voluminous. Industrial construction sites are ...

Abstract: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are reported to be the most common category of nonfatal occupational injuries that result in days away from work and are also a leading cause of temporary and permanent ...

Abstract: Extreme wind speeds pose a serious threat to tower crane stability and can lead to excessive deflections or overturning of the mast. However, wind effects might not be considered directly in either the tower crane stability ...

Abstract: In the construction industry, customer satisfaction is of paramount importance, as it significantly impacts company success and reputation. In Korea’s competitive apartment market, customer satisfaction—particularly feedback ...
