Fear Arousal Drives the Renewal of Active Avoidance of Hazards in Construction Sites: Evidence from an Animal Behavior Experiment in Mice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)There is emerging evidence that negative emotions can be leveraged to help construction workers recognize hazards, with fear being closely associated with avoidance behavior among negative emotions. Previous research has ... -
Measuring Activity-Level Construction Productivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Activity-level productivity measurement often overlooks losses due to poor construction flows—that is, the flows of workers, materials, and equipment. Using data from 138 locations and 33 crews, correlation and regression ... -
Reframing Sustainability Rating Systems to Emphasize Interconnected Benefits Increases Sustainable Design Practices among Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Engineering design and construction teams commonly use decision tools, such as rating systems, to manage the complexity of infrastructure projects. However, these systems often focus predominantly on environmental dimensions, ... -
Implementing Effective Knowledge Management in International Construction Projects by Eliminating Knowledge Hiding
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Effective knowledge management (KM) and knowledge sharing (KS) are critical for the success of international construction projects (ICPs), but they are often hindered by knowledge-hiding (KH) behavior. This study examines ... -
Risk Assessment of the Challenges in the Adaptive Reuse of Historic Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)To create a resilient environment, adaptive reuse of old buildings is becoming rampant through renovation, restoration, or refurbishment. Although such efforts bring advantages by preserving heritage assets while accommodating ... -
Cost Performance Modeling for Steel Fabrication Shops with Machine Learning Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Off-site steel construction (OSC) is an emerging alternative to traditional on-site methods that offers advantages such as reduced waste, improved quality, and faster delivery. However, OSC also requires robust monitoring ... -
Effect of Social Identity on Megaproject Managers’ Conflict Management Styles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The complexity of megaprojects and their nested organizational structure contribute to the constant occurrence of project conflicts. The dual identity of project managers brings about two distinct modes of identification: ... -
Understanding the Double-Edged Sword Effect of Contract Flexibility on Contractor’s Opportunistic Behavior in Construction Project: Moderating Role of BIM Application Degree
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Contract flexibility is like a double-edged sword for contractor opportunistic behavior, and it may both inhibit and promote such opportunistic behavior. This study constructs a dual-path integration model in which contract ... -
Insight into the Mechanism of Noncompliance Tasks in Construction Workers’ Unsafe Behaviors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Construction safety has always been a major concern in the engineering field, and studies have noted that noncompliance tasks have a significant impact on the behavior of individuals. However, from the perspective of task ... -
Accelerating the Circular Economy Transition: A Construction Value Chain-Structured Portfolio of Strategies and Implementation Insights
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Despite the increasing recognition of the potential of Circular Economy (CE) strategies, their effective application to decarbonize the construction value chain faces multiple challenges. Ambiguity surrounding CE, stemming ... -
The Things That Hurt People Are Not the Same as the Things That Kill People: Key Differences in the Proximal Causes of Low- and High-Severity Construction Injuries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The safety profession has been shaped by the assumption that there is a fixed ratio of low- to high-severity injuries and the notion that injuries of all severity levels share the same general causes. There is now very ... -
Block Planning Based on Grid’s Topology for the Dismantling of Long-Span Spatial Lattice Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The demolition issue of long-span spatial lattice structures has become increasingly prominent with the rapid urban development and building upgrades. Building deconstruction offers superior economic and environmental ... -
