Dynamic Modeling for Analyzing Impacts of Skilled Labor Shortage on Construction Project Management
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)In recent years, the shortage in skilled labor was one of the most significant concerns for the construction industry. Previous studies explored the causes and effects of such shortages; however, these efforts featured ... -
Comparing Contract Administration Functions for Alternative and Traditional Delivery of Highway Projects
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Agency roles and responsibilities for contract administration depend on the contracting method. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has encouraged agencies to consider alternative contracting methods (ACMs) like ... -
Stakeholder-Associated Life Cycle Risks in Construction Supply Chain
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Numerous inherent risks impose a systematic risk identification approach to achieve supply chain performance goals in construction projects. This paper investigates supply chain risks in construction projects with respect ... -
Online Public Opinion Analysis on Infrastructure Megaprojects: Toward an Analytical Framework
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The development of an infrastructure megaproject is closely related to society and the public community. It is necessary to pay enough attention to public opinions that generally have a significant impact on megainfrastructure’s ... -
Process Mapping of Stakeholders in Transportation Safety Management
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The operational reality that dominates organizations can inhibit their ability to document recurring work processes, which is instrumental in defining work responsibilities, incorporating quality assurance, evaluating lead ... -
Comprehensive Model for Construction Readiness Assessment
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The construction industry has experienced rapid growth in the last decade, which was not paralleled by a corresponding growth in productivity. A major reason of this stagnant productivity is that project teams often rush ... -
Corporate Social Responsibility on Disaster Resilience Issues by International Contractors
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting is gaining importance in the construction industry as an effective tool to communicate social citizenship. Despite the increasing attention on the role of the construction ... -
ACT<sup>2</sup>: Time–Cost Tradeoffs from Alternative Contracting Methods
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)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 ... -
Role of Inputs, Processes, and Relations in Transportation System Performance Management: Case Study of Regional Transportation Collaborations
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This study aims to expand understanding of how regional transportation collaboration operates and examines the relationships between collaboration and performance. To do so, nine regional safety coalitions that use ... -
Verification and Validation Framework for Purdue Index for Construction
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The Purdue index for construction (Pi-C) was previously developed to facilitate and promote data-driven decision-making. Pi-C is an analytical platform that allows stakeholders and decision makers to measure the current ... -
Quantitative Assessment of Proximity Risks Associated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Construction
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)While unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are extensively used for data collection in the construction industry, currently, no comprehensive quantitative method measures the indirect risks workers face from flying UAVs on ... -
Gendered Knowledge Accessibility: Evaluating the Role of Gender in Knowledge Seeking among Engineers in the US
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Women are heavily underrepresented in engineering companies. Gender issues arise in daily interactions where employees may not seek knowledge from others when they need it, even if they know who possesses the knowledge, ... -
Data-Driven Machine Learning Approach to Integrate Field Submittals in Project Scheduling
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Construction projects are data-rich environments. However, those data are usually captured for site-specific reasons, e.g., the filing and approval of inspection requests, with little regard to how they can be leveraged ... -
Impact of Alternative Delivery on the Response Time of Requests for Information for Highway Projects
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Requests for information (RFIs) are a critical communication tool on construction projects. Preparing RFIs and responding to RFIs takes time and money. Unresolved RFIs or slow responses to RFIs may cause delays. The objective ... -
Intellectual Capital, Innovation, and Performance in Construction Contracting Firms
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The accumulation of intangible assets in the form of intellectual capital (IC) has been recognized to be significant for a firm’s competitiveness. The strategic significance of knowledge for construction contractors, as ... -
Comparing the Impact of Learning in Bidding Decision-Making Processes Using Algorithmic Game Theory
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Although previous research efforts have developed models to assist contractors in different bidding decisions, there is a lack of research work that investigates the impact of integrating learning algorithms into the ... -
Impact of Dynamic Workforce and Workplace Variables on the Productivity of the Construction Industry: New Gross Construction Productivity Indicator
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Construction productivity is the industry’s predominant determinant of performance. Although the construction industry periodically provides large amount of data, existing studies have not fully exploited such data sets, ... -
Alternative Contracting Methods: Modeling and Assessing the Effects of Contract Type on Time-Cost-Change Performance
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)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, ... -
