RISUnderstanding the Effect of BIM Capability Imbalance on Opportunistic Behavior: The Case of the Chinese Construction Market
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although building information modeling (BIM) is believed to have the potential to curb opportunistic behavior, opportunism is observed in some BIM-enabled projects surprisingly often. One possible reason is that, in current ...
Assessment of Short-Term Improvement Effectiveness of Preventive Maintenance Treatments on Pavement Performance Using LTPP Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of four preventive maintenance treatments (thin overlay, slurry seal, chip seal, and crack seal) on five typical pavement performances (roughness, rutting, transverse ...
Understanding the Effects of Trust and Conflict Event Criticality on Conflict Resolution Behavior in Construction Projects: Mediating Role of Social Motives
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because conflicts are unavoidable in construction projects, resolving them constructively is essential. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether trust and conflict event criticality can affect conflict resolution ...
Influence of Temperature and Humidity on Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Mixtures at Medium and Low Temperatures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To clarify the influence of temperature and humidity on the medium- and low-temperature performances of asphalt mixture, the annual temperature and humidity of different regions in China were analyzed. Three typical humidity ...
Factors Influencing the Acceptance of BIM-Based Automated Code Compliance Checking in the AEC Industry in China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid development of building information modeling (BIM) and Industry Foundation Classes, BIM-based automated code compliance checking (ACCC) has long been desired by the architecture, engineering, and construction ...
Self-Healing Properties of Graphene Oxide–Modified Asphalt Based on Molecular Dynamics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To elucidate the influence mechanism of graphene oxide (GO) on the self-healing properties of modified asphalt, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the self-healing characteristics of matrix asphalt ...
Contractual Governance: Effects of Risk Allocation on Contractors’ Cooperative Behavior in Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When designing contracts in practice, project owners often allocate excessive risks to contractors. Although previous studies have suggested that such improper risk allocation may harm the relationship between the owner ...
Identification of Trust-Repair Strategies and Their Effectiveness in the Chinese Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Trust is regarded as an important governance mechanism for subcontracting in the construction industry. However, trust is also vulnerable and fragile. After trust is built, trust is not necessarily maintained throughout a ...
Understanding the Relationship between Environmental Uncertainty and Transaction Costs in Construction Projects: Moderating Roles of Prior Cooperation Experience and Intragroup Transactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the influences of environmental uncertainty (EU) on three dimensions of transaction costs, namely, setup, monitoring, and enforcement costs, in a construction project. More ...
Management Control in International Joint Ventures in the Infrastructure Sector
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Management control in international joint ventures (IJVs) is an important instrument for parent firms (parents) to achieve their goals. Although determinants of parents’ management control have been widely explored, the ...
