RISAnalysis of Causes of Construction Defects Using Fault Trees and Risk Importance Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Defects can have a significant impact on construction performance. A defect is not usually an outcome of a single cause, but rather occurs when multiple interrelated causes combine, forming a defect’s pathway. Because ...
Minimizing Fluctuation of the Maintenance, Repair, and Rehabilitation Cost Profile of a Building
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Preventive and regular maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation (MR&R) is necessary for a building to function satisfactorily throughout its lifecycle. A relatively constant MR&R budget is generally allocated to a building ...
Analysis of the Complex Mechanisms of Defect Generation in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There have been numerous research efforts to minimize construction defects and a variety of suggestions have been provided. However, while all of these suggestions are valuable and have the potential to prevent defects, a ...

Relationship between Unsafe Working Conditions and Workers’ Behavior and Impact of Working Conditions on Injury Severity in U.S. Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unsafe acts of workers (e.g., misjudgment or inappropriate operation) become the major root causes of construction accidents when they are combined with unsafe working conditions (e.g., work surface conditions or weather) ...
Project Pathogens Network: New Approach to Analyzing Construction-Defects-Generation Mechanisms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction defects can exert significant impacts on project performance. These defects are typically traced back to their initiating root causes, formulated as infectious decisions, practices, or circumstances. The root ...
Identification and Reduction of Synchronous Replacements in Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Equipment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a methodology used to calculate the total cost of a project from initial planning to final disposal. In conventional approaches, LCCA assumes that regular and preventive maintenance will ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There have been numerous research efforts to minimize construction defects and a variety of suggestions have been provided. However, while all of these suggestions are valuable and have the potential to prevent defects, a ...
Application of Case-Based Reasoning for Estimating Preliminary Duration of Building Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The applicability and effectiveness of case-based reasoning (CBR) have been demonstrated in various construction management areas, including bidding, international market selection, safety hazard identification, construction ...
Integrating Construction Operation and Context in Large-Scale Construction Using Hybrid Computer Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research proposes a hybrid simulation approach based upon the principles of system dynamics (SD) and discrete event simulation (DES), which facilitates a better understanding of complex interactions among various ...
