(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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Modular Construction: Determining Decision-Making Factors and Future Research Needs
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )With a compound annual growth rate of 5.69%, the modular construction market is forecasted to increase to a market value of $154.8 million by the end of 2023. Traditional stick-built construction and modular construction ... -
Structured Approach for Best-Value Evaluation Criteria: US Design–Build Highway Procurement
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )In best-value procurement, current practice shows that cost is frequently more influential than noncost factors, and consequently, the lowest bidder is chosen in most cases; thus, a best-value selection is not achieved. ... -
Understanding the Relationship between Environmental Uncertainty and Transaction Costs in Construction Projects: Moderating Roles of Prior Cooperation Experience and Intragroup Transactions
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )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 ... -
Interrelationship among Belief, Intention, Attitude, Behavior, and Performance of Construction Workers
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Worker behavior is one of the factors that influences construction labor productivity (CLP). This notion is discussed extensively in the literature; however, in most of these studies, the relation between behavior and ... -
Embeddedness and Actors’ Behaviors in Large-Scale Project Life Cycle: Lessons Learned from a High-Speed Rail Project in Spain
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )Despite wide-ranging research on large-scale infrastructure project performance, little is known about the role that project public institutional context and project owner’s response capability plays in the governing ... -
Deepening the Divide: Crises Disproportionately Silence Vulnerable Populations on Social Media
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )In the last decade, crisis informatics has sought to produce and use actionable information from social media data. Although substantial progress has been made in discerning how the data can be used, there is a lack of ... -
