Factors Affecting Workforce Resilience in Public Transportation Agencies
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ensuring the resiliency of a nation’s transportation infrastructure network requires a skilled and dependable workforce; this relies heavily on a transportation agency’s ability to recruit and retain their employees. Public ...
Resilience Criteria for Project Delivery Processes: An Exploratory Analysis for Highway Project Development
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Highway project delivery is a disruption-prone process in which resilience is essential to project success, because different project stages experience disruptions and struggle to reach desired project outcomes. A process ...
Development of Resilience Measures for Assessing the Performance of Water Infrastructure Project Delivery
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Project delivery is often subject to uncertainties and disruptions throughout the entire process. The ability of project delivery to resist and recover from disruptions is a measure of the resilience of the process, which ...
Identification of Social Sustainability Criteria in Building Energy Retrofit Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Building energy retrofits aim to reduce the energy consumption of existing facilities. The most significant impact of any energy retrofit project is during the operation phase of a building, when a building’s users are ...
Design/Build for Water/Wastewater Facilities: State of the Industry Survey and Three Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Documented successes of innovative delivery methods and recent changes in procurement laws are enabling water and wastewater utility owners to use alternative delivery methods for the construction of new facilities and the ...
Municipal Water/Wastewater Project Delivery Performance Comparison
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Owners of water/wastewater facilities can choose from several project delivery methods, including the traditional design-bid-build method or an alternative design-build method. When choosing a project delivery method, the ...
Study of the Relationship between Procurement Duration and Project Performance in Design-Build Projects: Comparison between Water/Wastewater and Transportation Sectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous studies on building, industrial, and transportation projects found that projects delivered using design-build tend to perform better than projects delivered with the traditional design-bid-build method. However, ...
Rank Correlation Method for Evaluating Manual Pavement Distress Data Variability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluations of surface distresses in pavements, such as cracking, bleeding, and raveling, are often used as one component of overall pavement condition indexes. Both manual and automated survey methods are available for ...
Concurrent Engineering Approach to Reducing Design Delivery Time
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A common method used to reduce project delivery time is to overlap sequential activities. Evolution and sensitivity characterizations of design activities provide a practical tool for identifying overlapping opportunities. ...
Continuous Quality Improvement Techniques for Data Collection in Asset Management Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transportation infrastructure assets are among the largest investments made by governmental agencies. These agencies use data on asset conditions to make decisions regarding the timing of maintenance activities, the type ...
