ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Repetitive Scheduling Method: Requirements, Modeling, and Implementation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Projects with repeating activities, such as multistory buildings and highways, present unique scheduling challenges. This paper presents the necessary requirements that scheduling systems should address to meet the needs ...
Discussion of “Algorithm for Determining Controlling Path Considering Resource Continuity” by Mohammad A. Ammar and Emad Elbeltagi
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Distribution-Free Monte Carlo Simulation: Premise and Refinement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: From cost estimation to reliability analysis, Monte Carlo simulation has found its niche in a wide variety of applications in civil engineering. With recognition of correlations among variables, recent efforts have been ...
Using Elitist Particle Swarm Optimization to Facilitate Bicriterion Time-Cost Trade-Off Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study develops a new optimization algorithm to find the complete time-cost profile (Pareto front) over a set of feasible project durations, i.e., it solves the time-cost trade-off problem. To improve existing ...
Parallel Computing Platform for Multiobjective Simulation Optimization of Bridge Maintenance Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The maintenance planning of deteriorating bridges is to find a balance between obtained performance and incurred cost. Because the planning horizon spans tens of years, a certain amount of uncertainty is inherent in ...
Use of Support Vector Regression to Improve Computational Efficiency of Stochastic Time-Cost Trade-Off
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stochastic time-cost trade-off has been a popular object of investigation in past decades because there are uncertain factors that can be considered when determining the appropriate trade-off between project completion ...
Workers' Comp. Premiums: Disparities in Penalties for Identical Losses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Workers' compensation insurance (WCI) is one of the largest controllable costs for construction contractors. A fixed portion of the WCI standard premium is determined by the individual contractor's company characteristics, ...
Repetitive Scheduling Method: Requirements, Modeling, and Implementation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Projects with repeating activities, such as multistory buildings and highways, present unique scheduling challenges. This paper presents the necessary requirements that scheduling systems should address to meet the needs ...
Discussion of “Comparison of Linear Scheduling Model and Repetitive Scheduling Method” by Kris G. Mattila and Amy Park
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Chance-Constrained Time–Cost Tradeoff Analysis Considering Funding Variability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a chance-constrained programming model to incorporate the variability of funding, which is quantified by the coefficient of variation. The proposed model formulates financial feasibility as a stochastic ...
