Abstract: Accurate prediction of construction costs in the market is essential to effectively estimate costs for construction projects. In the construction industry, cost indexes that are reported in series are often used to explain ...

Abstract: Construction often involves considerable time gaps between cost estimation and on-site operations. In addition, many operations are performed over a considerable period of time. Accordingly, estimating construction costs ...

Abstract: Frequent and regular prediction of productivity is needed to effectively manage construction operations in progress. This need is proven by significant deviations in productivity between estimated values and actual values, ...

Abstract: Productivity has a profound impact on projects that depend on time and cost of construction operations. In addition, time and cost estimates are derived from productivity. Thus, accurate prediction of productivity is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic procedure for assessing the structural responses of a statically indeterminate frame caused by soil spatial variability. Neglecting the soil spatial variability can underestimate the ...
