Prefabricated Construction Process Optimization Based on Rework Risk
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In prefabricated construction (PC) projects, component manufacturing and site construction are implemented concurrently to improve productivity. However, concurrent PC provides feedback information on each task, and ...
Expatriate Construction Professionals’ Performance in International Construction Projects: The Role of Cross-Cultural Adjustment and Job Burnout
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The performance of expatriate construction professionals (EXCPs) has become increasingly critical for the success of international construction projects. This study investigated the role of job burnout and cross-cultural ...
Study of Self-Cleaning and Anticorrosion Superhydrophobic Coating on Cement Mortar Using Milled Coral Waste Powder
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To reduce and reuse waste, the use of coral waste has attracted more and more attention from researchers. In this study, a method of preparing environmentally friendly superhydrophobic coating with coral waste and stearic ...
Frictional Temperature Field and Wear Behavior of Steel 52100 With Different Microstructures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the frictional temperature fields and the wear resistance of steel 52100 with different microstructures during dry sliding were studied by wear testing and computer simulation for ...
Ontology-Based Knowledge Model to Support Construction Noise Control in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction noise control (CNC) is the process of identifying potential noise emissions and establishing noise-abatement plans to mitigate pollution impacts, a process that requires interdisciplinary knowledge and ...
Screening and Optimizing the Sensitive Parameters of BTOPMC Model Based on UQ-PyL Software: Case Study of a Flood Event in the Fuji River Basin, Japan
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Block-wise use of TOPMODEL with the Muskingum–Cunge method (BTOPMC) is a physically based distributed hydrological model with five parameters that quantitatively reflect basin physical features, including soil type, ...
Semicustomized Design Framework of Container Accommodation for Migrant Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Millions of migrant construction workers (MCWs) worldwide make significant economic contributions to their host countries or regions but often suffer poor housing conditions. It is therefore important to explore new ways ...
Microindentation Test for Assessing the Mechanical Properties of Silicone Rubber Exposed to a Simulated Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The elastomeric materials used as seals and gaskets in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are exposed to acidic environment, humid air, and hydrogen, and subjected to mechanical ...
Combined Impacts of Land Use and Climate Change in the Modeling of Future Groundwater Vulnerability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Groundwater vulnerability assessment delineating areas that are susceptible to contamination from future scenarios has aroused worldwide attention. In this study, the authors (1) estimate future groundwater vulnerability ...
