Life-Cycle Contract Management Strategies in US Highway Public–Private Partnerships: Public Control or Concessionaire Empowerment?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are multilateral transactions implemented over long-time horizons; hence, they are complex arrangements that face various forms of uncertainty. These characteristics have made them a ... -
Probabilistic-Based Cascading Failure Approach to Assessing Workplace Hazards Affecting Human Error
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)To minimize human errors, the propagation mechanics of hazards that can lead to human error must be clarified. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to quantify the effects of hazards on human errors and determine ... -
Developing a Sustainable Pavement Management Plan: Tradeoffs in Road Condition, User Costs, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Highway maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) planning is a multifaceted decision-making process that requires the consideration of multiple but often conflicting objectives. Traditionally, state highway agencies (SHAs) ... -
Organizational Ambidexterity: A Critical Review and Development of a Project-Focused Definition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The objective of this paper is to explore a project-focused understanding of contemporary organizational ambidexterity literature. As part of this process, a taxonomical analysis of the elements and components of the concept ... -
A Discrepancy Analysis of BIM-Based Quantity Take-Off for Building Interior Components
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The more detailed building information modeling (BIM) is, the more accurate are the quantities that can be extracted in BIM-based quantity take-off. However, the time and cost typically allowed for modeling are insufficient ... -
Modularization Business Case Analysis Model for Industrial Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modularization is a method of enhancing project value by exporting a portion of the site work to fabrication/assembly shops or yards. However, the construction industry has difficulties in identifying the optimum extent ... -
Determining the Value of Standby Letter of Credit in Transfer Stage of a PPP Project to Control Concessionaire’s Opportunistic Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Most public–private partnership (PPP) projects would be transferred back to the government at the end of the concession period. To pursue maximum profit, the concessionaire may overuse the facilities without proper maintenance ... -
Impact of Megaproject Governance on Project Performance: Dynamic Governance of the Nanning Transportation Hub in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Megaprojects carry high risks and many uncertainties, are difficult to coordinate, and involve many stakeholders. Traditional project management concepts and strategies have been proven to be less-than-efficient for modern ... -
Understanding Relative Importance of Barriers to Improving the Customer–Supplier Relationship within Construction Supply Chains Using DEMATEL Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The construction industry is lagging behind other industries in terms of efficiency and performance. Lean-oriented supply chain management (SCM) initiatives have not yet led to significant improvements because of the ... -
Consensus-Building Workshops to Uncover New Market Entry Decision Factors for the Sheet Metal Engineering and Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For an engineering or construction firm, the decision to enter a new market sector (e.g., add a trade or service, expand geographically) is a complex undertaking, particularly since the industry-specific literature provides ... -
Project Performance Rating Model for Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Public Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Water and wastewater construction capital projects are distinctive, highly complex and do not currently have well-established overall performance rating models to assess their projects’ successes. Project performance used ... -
Integrated Project Risk Management for Residential Recycled-Water Schemes in Australia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In recent years, the Australian water sector has been criticized for inadequate project risk management and overinvestment in inefficient water services, such as large desalination plants and recycled-water schemes. To aid ... -
Stakeholder-Associated Supply Chain Risks and Their Interactions in a Prefabricated Building Project in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Prefabricated building projects (PBPs) have contributed significantly to addressing Hong Kong’s serious housing shortage and accommodate almost half of the residents in this densely populated city. The supply chains of ... -
Social Sustainability in Delivery and Procurement of Public Construction Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Boosting sustainability in public construction procurement implies new challenges associated with incentivizing integrated approaches and the inclusion of sustainability criteria in tendering procedures. Thus, the choice ... -
Identification and Reduction of Synchronous Replacements in Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Equipment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is a methodology used to calculate the total cost of a project from initial planning to final disposal. In conventional approaches, LCCA assumes that regular and preventive maintenance will ... -
Evaluating Housing Maintenance Costs with Loss-Distribution Approach in South Korean Apartment Housing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study analyzes and evaluates building maintenance costs by applying the loss-distribution approach (LDA) normally used by financial organizations to assess operational risks to 7,267 historical maintenance data items ... -
What CPI = 0.85 Really Means: A Probabilistic Extension of the Estimate at Completion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper investigates the predictive power of project cost data in earned value management (EVM) as an early indicator of the cost overrun probability in risk management. The predictive power of the cost performance index ... -
Enhancement of IPD Characteristics as Impelled by Information and Communication Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although the benefits of integrated project delivery (IPD) and the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in realizing those benefits have been recognized generally, the adoption of IPD—both philosophically ... -
Identifying Early Indicators of Manageable Rework Causes and Selecting Mitigating Best Practices for Construction
