Diffusion of Building Information Modeling Functions in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)While advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have enabled architects, engineers, and contractors to reduce project time and cost and to improve quality, the diffusion of ICTs has typically been very ... -
Housing Market Trend Forecasts through Statistical Comparisons based on Big Data Analytic Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Assessments and forecasts of housing markets can provide insight into the fundamental sustainability of housing and construction. The home sales index (HSI) is considered one of the most important factors for forecasting ... -
Influence of Prior Ties on Trust in Contract Enforcement in the Construction Industry: Moderating Role of the Shadow of the Future
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This article explores the effect of prior ties on trust in contract enforcement after contractual breaches, which is underdeveloped in the existing literature, from a multifunctional perspective. In this research, both ... -
Investigating the Cost-Benefit Trade-Off of Additional Planning Using Parade Game Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In construction projects, an unreliable work plan causes unstable workflow, which often results in task completion delay, system throughput decrease, and waste increase. Such a workflow can be managed effectively by promoting ... -
Critical Review of Social Network Analysis Applications in Complex Project Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Social network analysis (SNA) is a significant tool for analyzing networks in complex project management that examines the actors’ interdependence in iterative and interactive social structures. It can also be used for ... -
Achieving Postdisaster Reconstruction Success Based on Satisfactory Delivery of Client Values within Contractors’ Services
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The success of any construction project depends on the fulfillment of client values within contracting services. This study’s purpose was to investigate the satisfaction levels of clients within contractors’ services in ... -
RBL-PHP: Simulation of Lean Construction and Information Technologies for Prefabrication Housing Production
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Prefabrication housing production (PHP) is widely promoted due to its potential benefits, such as reduced construction time and improved quality. However, PHP also faces many uncertainties and constraints due to the highly ... -
Benefit of Cooperation among Subcontractors in Performing High-Reliable Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)As construction projects get larger and more complex, subcontractors can benefit from cooperation and by forming an alliance, such as partnering. Previous studies have discussed the benefit of cooperation or partnering ... -
Development of a Mapping Table for the Value Determination of Transportation Research Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Measuring the value of research results is very important to justify the efficiency and effectiveness of research programs. However, it has received very little attention by transportation agencies and researchers because ... -
Statistical Approach to Quantifying the Destructive Impact of Natural Disasters on Petroleum Infrastructures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The U.S. petroleum industry is significantly dependent on petroleum infrastructures located in the hurricane-prone Gulf of Mexico. Natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav, and Ike have been serious shocks ... -
Predicting Construction Cost Index Using the Autoregressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The construction cost index (CCI) is a quantitative construction-cost indicator proposed by Engineering News–Record (ENR). Because predicting CCI is crucial to the investment planning, bidding, and profitability of ... -
Effect of Motivation and Owner Commitment on the Delivery Performance of Green Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The delivery of green building projects is often more difficult than that for of non–green building projects, thereby resulting in low project performance. To overcome the difficulties and improve the delivery performance ... -
Identification and Association of High-Priority Safety Management System Factors and Accident Precursors for Proactive Safety Assessment and Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The performance of a safety management system (SMS) is influenced by a large number of internal and external factors. Loss of control of these factors can create unsafe conditions, which can eventually lead to worksite ... -
Sustainable Performance Index for Assessing the Green Technologies in Urban Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)To mitigate the environmental problems caused by global warming and climate change, many countries agree that reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is mandatory. Against this backdrop, the construction industry has ... -
Value-at-Risk Model Analysis of Taiwanese High-Tech Facility Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Taiwan is among the few countries that have a high density of high-tech facilities in the world, and the high-tech industry accounts for a large proportion of the annual output value of the global high-tech industry. During ... -
Industry Attitudes toward Alternative Contracting for Highway Construction in Florida
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Alternative contracting methods have become popular replacements for traditional practices based on low-bid acquisition. The benefits of decreased project duration, increased job quality, and improved delivery processes ... -
