RISPersistence of Women in the Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry, traditionally male-dominated, faces notable turnover among women. The rise in female graduates compared with their low industry retention highlights a need for systemic changes to create a more ...
Gender Bias and Its Impact on Self-Concept in Undergraduate and Graduate Construction Education Programs in the United States
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Previous studies argued that gender bias has an effect on the retention of female students in male-dominated academic programs. This study examined the prevalence of gender bias in construction education programs from ...
Mask-Guided Attention for Subcategory-Level Sewer Pipe Crack Classification
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the field of sewage pipeline inspection, the Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) requires encoding pipe cracks at the subcategory level in practical applications. This study seeks to address the need to ...
Identification of Best Practices in Project Bundling for State DOTs Using Semistructured Interviews
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Project bundling is a method used by state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and other public agencies to combine multiple construction projects into a single contract. Project bundling is typically applied when the ...
Multilabel Sewer Pipe Defect Recognition with Mask Attention Feature Enhancement and Label Correlation Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The coexistence of multiple defect categories as well as the substantial class imbalance problem significantly impair the detection of sewer pipeline defects. To solve this problem, a multilabel pipe defect recognition ...
