RISIdentifying Early Indicators of Manageable Rework Causes and Selecting Mitigating Best Practices for Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many large-scale construction projects suffer from the issuance of rework that ultimately leads to substantial cost overruns and major scheduling delays. Scholars and practitioners worldwide have assessed the impact of ...
Gap Analysis in Cost Estimation, Risk Analysis, and Contingency Computation of Transportation Infrastructure Projects: A Guide to Resource and Policy–Based Strategy Establishment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Practitioners and researchers involved in DOT projects frequently face challenges associated with cost overruns that lead to disagreements between stakeholders and decrease the accuracy of construction cost estimates. To ...
Investigation of the Causal Relationships among Different Barrier Categories to Timely Posthurricane Recovery
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The incidence of hurricanes has increased in the United States during recent years, affecting many aspects of the lives of those who have fallen victim to them. Delays that may be due to unexpected barriers to the recovery ...
Analysis of the Health and Safety Challenges Faced by Construction Workers in Extreme Hot Weather Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increasing number of extremely hot days globally has made outdoor workers more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses such as heat syncope, heat exhaustion, heat edema, and heat stress. The objective of this article is ...
Robustness Analysis of Total Project Cost and Schedule Delay and Overrun Indicators of Heavy Industrial Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Barriers such as cost overruns and schedule delays make it challenging to achieve successful project outcomes. Their early detection, however, allows mitigation strategies to be implemented before too much delay has occurred; ...
Application of Delphi Method in Identifying, Ranking, and Weighting Project Complexity Indicators for Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Experts believe that project performance ultimately suffers because of complexity issues. Although some studies have focused on identifying leading project complexity indicators (CIs), the weighted impact of each CI has ...
Identification and Categorization of Policy and Legal Barriers to Long-Term Timely Postdisaster Reconstruction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Some communities are able to return to a normal state quickly after a disaster; however, the causes of delays in the postdisaster recovery phase remain an important concern. Policy and legal barriers are fundamental causes ...
Predictive Analytics Approach to Evaluate Wage Inequality in Engineering Organizations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Wage inequality is a source of many social and economic problems, and is the target of mitigating programs both nationally and internationally. The primary step toward developing effective programs to reduce or eliminate ...
Optimal Pipeline Maintenance Strategies in the United States: Stochastic Reliability Analysis of Gas Pipeline Network Failures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The increasing number of corrosion-based incidents in pipeline systems within recent decades has encouraged decision makers to focus on predicting when pipelines will fail, and to improve maintenance strategies. Policymakers ...
Exploratory Analysis of Human-, Organizational-, and Project-Based Reworks: Challenges and Strategies
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Reworks are unavoidable during the design and construction phases of construction projects and significantly increase the time and cost required to complete projects. Several studies have been conducted to determine how ...
