RISConvoluted Reciprocity and Other Methods for Vehicle Speed Estimation in Bridge Weigh-in-Motion Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In bridge weigh-in-motion systems, the vehicle speed is a fundamental input parameter for the weighing algorithm. The speed is generally obtained by processing structural responses measured at different locations along the ...
Integration Evaluation Framework for Integrated Design Teams of Green Buildings: Development and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Integrated design (ID) process encourages integration of team members in the design phase of green building projects through intense collaborative processes and free exchange of information. Although integration in general ...
Management Thinking in the Earned Value Method System and the Last Planner System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Management theory has been neglected in the construction industry, which has rather focused on best practices. This paper investigates the theories implicit in two prevalent project control systems: the earned value method ...
Assessing the Environmental Impacts of a Lean Supply System: Case Study of High-Rise Condominium Construction in Korea
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prefabrication and just-in-time (JIT) delivery are important components of a lean supply system. Past research focuses on how much lead time is reduced and how much costs are saved, but few have studied the environmental ...
Hypothesis for Localized Horizontal Shearing Failure Mechanism of Slender RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flexural-shear cracking behavior of RC beams was investigated to get a better understanding of the fundamental nature of the shear failure mechanism. Eight RC beams with special features were tested. Each test specimen ...
Customer Earned Value: Performance Indicator from Flow and Value Generation View
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The earned value method (EVM) is considered an advanced project control technique that provides a quantitative measure of work performance. However, the EVM is effective only under the assumption that every activity is ...
Prediction of Reinforcement Tension Produced by Arch Action in RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, 16 reinforced concrete (RC) simple-span beams were tested statically up to failure to quantitatively investigate the arch action. Variables included four shear-span ratios (2, 2.5, 3, and 4), two longitudinal ...
Closure to “Prediction of Reinforcement Tension Produced by Arch Action in RC Beams” by Daejoong Kim, Woo Kim, and Richard N. White

The Impact of Empowering Front-Line Managers on Planning Reliability and Project Schedule Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study applies empowerment theory to production planning at the level of frontline managers in a construction project. Using structural equation modeling, we investigate how empowering frontline managers impacts their ...
Modeling of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Structures Repaired with Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a study in which finite-element (FE) analysis procedures were used to predict the behavior of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame shear strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Details ...
