Establishing a Future-Proofing Framework for Infrastructure Projects to Proactively Adapt to Complex Regulatory Landscapes
(ASCE, 2020)Infrastructure projects experience different regulatory impacts during permitting, operations, and decommissioning. However, no framework is in place to provide a foundation for infrastructure operators and administrators ... -
Interplay of Contractual Governance and Trust in Improving Construction Project Performance: Dynamic Perspective
(ASCE, 2020)Although contractual governance and trust have been regarded as critical factors for explaining construction project performance, their interplay at different stages of project development is still lacking. From a dynamic ... -
Estimating Preconstruction Services for Bridge Design Projects
(ASCE, 2020)Preconstruction services play a vital role in ensuring timely approval of infrastructure funds and successful execution of construction projects. Most state DOTs use simple methods such as a percentage of estimated ... -
Discrepancies between Postdisaster Relocation Policy and Implementation in the Philippines
(ASCE, 2020)It is common for recovery policies to be crafted following disasters, such as the relocation of exposed populations, but it is rare for policy intent to be fully realized. Although critiques center on failed outcomes, there ... -
Air Transportation Infrastructure Robustness Assessment for Proactive Systemic Risk Management
(ASCE, 2020)A key attribute of resilience, robustness serves as a predictor of infrastructure system performance under disruptions, thus informing proactive infrastructure risk management. A literature review indicated that previous ... -
Reactive Devaluation as a Psychological Impediment to Construction Dispute Negotiation
(ASCE, 2020)Disputes are common in construction projects. Protracted dispute resolution processes drain valuable resources. Therefore, promoting efficient construction dispute negotiation (CDN) has been one of the key recommendations ... -
Methodology to Assess the Impact of Lump-Sum Compensation Provisions on Project Schedules
(ASCE, 2020)Although alternative project delivery methods have become increasingly popular among state transportation agencies and researchers, common design-bid-build (DBB) procurement methods are the most prevalent technique employed ... -
Post-Handover Defect Risk Profile of Residential Buildings Using Loss Distribution Approach
(ASCE, 2020)Managing defect risks is a highly challenging task because various defect characteristics are complexly interconnected under the multiple dimensions of various factors. It is vital to improve the efficiency of defect risk ... -
Predicting the Volatility of Highway Construction Cost Index Using Long Short-Term Memory
(ASCE, 2020)The highway construction cost index (HCCI) is a composite indicator that reflects the price trend of the highway construction industry. Most available indexes exhibit significant variation, creating a challenge for state ... -
Measuring Resilience of Human–Spatial Systems to Disasters: Framework Combining Spatial-Network Analysis and Fisher Information
(ASCE, 2020)Improving urban resilience to disasters becomes well-recognized in both industry and academia, but resilience remains challenging to be operationalized, especially in complex urban contexts. Currently, longitudinal empirical ... -
Holistic Performance Evaluation of Highway Design-Build Projects
(ASCE, 2020)Many state transportation agencies (STAs) have adopted alternative contracting methods, including design-build (DB) contracting, to accelerate construction. Although DB has become increasingly common in recent years, very ... -
Spatial Analysis of the Gender Wage Gap in Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Construction Occupations in the United States
(ASCE, 2020)Over the last recent decades, the economic status of women has been changed significantly. Gender segregation levels have decreased, and women have started participating in male-dominated occupations like construction ... -
Smart Cities with Digital Twin Systems for Disaster Management
(ASCE, 2020)Exploiting smart cities with digital twins (SCDT) requires the integration of sensing and simulation across diverse infrastructure systems into community management. Community disaster management can provide a valuable ... -
Comprehensive Analysis of Factors Associated with Out-of-Sequence Construction
(ASCE, 2020)Out-of-sequence work (OOS) is an activity or series of activities that were not performed according to baseline planned logical productive sequencing. Since OOS significantly weakens project performance, this paper pinpoints ... -
How Does Experience with Delay Shape Managers’ Making-Do Decision: Random Forest Approach
(ASCE, 2020)Making-do, a decision to start a construction task despite knowing that its preconditions are not fully ready, is a complex dilemma for construction managers. Managers’ previous making-do decisions and the resulting ... -
Architecting Smart City Digital Twins: Combined Semantic Model and Machine Learning Approach
(ASCE, 2020)This work was motivated by the premise that next-generation smart city systems will be enabled by widespread adoption of sensing and communication technologies deeply embedded within the physical urban domain. These ... -
Motivational Factors and Challenges of Cooperative Partnerships between Contractors in the Construction Industry
(ASCE, 2020)This work focuses on motivational factors and challenges of cooperative partnering between contractors in the construction industry. The purpose is to identify the main obstacles to forming such relationships and methods ... -
Overcoming Status Quo Bias for Resilient Stormwater Infrastructure: Empirical Evidence in Neurocognition and Decision-Making
(ASCE, 2020)Green infrastructure solutions like bio-retention systems, permeable pavements, and water harvesting programs are cost-effective for stormwater management and more adaptive to a changing climate. However, implementing green ... -
Criticality and Susceptibility Indexes for Resilience-Based Ranking and Prioritization of Components in Interdependent Infrastructure Networks
(ASCE, 2020)In infrastructure networks, each of the constituent infrastructure components (nodes and links) has its own significance. The extent to which each node is important to the network largely varies based on the resource or ... -
Characterizing the Key Predictors of Renewable Energy Penetration for Sustainable and Resilient Communities
(ASCE, 2020)With a mean annual growth rate of roughly 50%, the solar industry has experienced unprecedented growth in the last decade, largely owing to the steadily falling prices of solar installations. Utility-scale energy prices ...
