Construction, Inspection, and Maintenance of FRP Deck Panels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Composite materials are clearly having a major impact on how facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained. In order to enhance the application of fiber-reinforced composites in infrastructure renewal, it will be ...
Trends and Prospects of the U.S. Housing Market Using the Markov Switching Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate projection of the economic conditions in a country can enable the government to establish appropriate policies in a timely manner. This also applies to enterprises and individuals in terms of decision-making ...
CBR Revision Model for Improving Cost Prediction Accuracy in Multifamily Housing Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For any construction project to succeed, it is very important to accurately estimate the construction cost during the project’s initial stage. This is why there has been much interest lately in cost prediction models that ...
Energy-Saving Techniques for Reducing CO2 Emissions in Elementary Schools
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Global warming has grown into a significantly intense global issue, prompting all nations to exert various efforts to reduce their greenhouse gas emission, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate ...
Construction Business Cycle Analysis Using the Regime Switching Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry is a key industry in many countries, usually making up to 5–10% of the overall gross domestic product (GDP). It is closely related to the financial and labor markets, depending on the characteristics ...
Analysis of Development Cost Based on Planning Characteristics of Multifamily Housing Development Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When conducting a feasibility analysis for multifamily housing development plans, changes in key cost elements in the financial analysis, such as construction costs or land values, can be analyzed using simple financial ...
Model for Analysis of Factors Affecting Construction Schedule in Highway Work Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In highway construction, it is not only important to understand the factors that affect the schedule but also to evaluate their probable severity and impact on project duration. However, there is currently no standard or ...
Validation of a Model for Predicting Schedule Changes in Highway Work Zones—Case Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are currently no standard or accepted methods in the construction industry to calculate the probable impact of indirect cost factors on the schedule of highway work zone projects. This paper presents a model for ...
Selection Model for Delivery Methods for Multifamily-Housing Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Selecting an appropriate delivery method that will achieve a project’s objectives and characteristics is one of the most critical factors for the project’s success. A selection model for this study was developed by using ...
