Economical Validation of Residential Solar Power Investment: A Cost–Benefit Analysis Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The externalities of investment decisions with regard to residential photovoltaic (PV) systems have been changing rapidly in recent years. This study thoroughly explored these fast-changing dynamics by investigating the ...
ACT<sup>2</sup>: Time–Cost Tradeoffs from Alternative Contracting Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Incentive/disincentive (I/D) and cost-plus-time (A+B) are two of the most widely used alternative contracting methods (ACMs) for accelerating the construction of highway infrastructure improvement projects. However, little ...
Effects of Flooding on Roadways through Simulation-Traffic Integrated Vulnerability Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban flooding poses a significant threat to the functionality of roadway networks, and the frequency and severity of these events are anticipated to increase as a result of climate change. A key challenge in mitigating ...
Alternative Contracting Methods: Modeling and Assessing the Effects of Contract Type on Time-Cost-Change Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although the use of alternative contracting methods (ACMs) has become increasingly common, little is known about their effects on a project’s time-cost-change performance. This study draws from 2,572 project datapoints, ...
Integration of Schedule, Cost, Traffic, and Risk into the Determination of Construction Contract Times
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Balancing schedule, cost, mobility, and livability when planning urban highway projects built under accelerated contract provisions is a daunting task. Despite the wealth of research analyzing the effects of highway ...
Holistic Performance Evaluation of Highway Design-Build Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many state transportation agencies (STAs) have adopted alternative contracting methods, including design-build (DB) contracting, to accelerate construction. Although DB has become increasingly common in recent years, very ...
