Abstract: Real-time assessment of the ergonomic risks to which workers are exposed at a workstation and the provision of real-time corrective feedback intervention to workers play an essential role in improving safety in the workplace ...

Abstract: Workers in industrialized construction are often exposed to physical demands (e.g., repetitive motion and awkward body posture) associated with the risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, despite the utilization ...

Abstract: The Kunming peaty soil exhibits distinct physical and mechanical properties from the inorganic clay due to the special soil-forming process and material composition. To better understand the viscous behavior of peaty soil, ...

Abstract: Workers in offsite construction facilities are often exposed to repetitive motion and awkward body postures that are associated with the risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders despite the use of automated ...

Abstract: Weathering processes such as dry–wet (DW) cycles affect the hydromechanical properties of soils for earthen sites, in which significant proportions of the cross section could be influenced by climatic weathering, such as ...

Abstract: Worker safety and productivity and the factors that affect them, such as ergonomics, are essential aspects of construction projects. The application of ergonomics and the identification of the connections between workers ...

Abstract: Collaboration in design decision-making is a critical factor in enhancing the quality of built environments. However, several factors, such as the lack of clarity in the negotiation process, the diverse disciplinary ...

Abstract: The construction manufacturing industry in North America has a disproportionately high number of lost-time injuries because of the high physical demand of the labor-intensive tasks it involves. It is thus essential to ...
