RISManaging Risk, Innovation, and Collaboration through Supplier Qualification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractCapital projects face increased uncertainty and disruption. Given this increasing
risk, the ability to innovate and collaborate is of the utmost importance to ensuring
positive outcomes in project delivery and ...
Current State of Supplier Qualification in Capital Projects: Factors, Practices, and Industry Perspectives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractMaterials and equipment often comprise a majority of capital project costs, making
supplier qualification pivotal to controlling cost, schedule, scope, quality, and
risk. Prior studies have examined specific aspects ...
Observed Cyclone–Anticyclone Tropopause Vortex Asymmetries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Relatively little is known about coherent vortices near the extratropical tropopause, even with regard to basic facts about their frequency of occurrence, longevity, and structure. This study addresses these issues through ...
Identification and Ranking of Legal Factors Impacting Information Management in the AEC Industry Using the Delphi Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Information management is a critical aspect of project delivery in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Previous studies have identified legal factors as an integral part of developing and ...
Role of BIM Contract Practices in Stakeholder BIM Implementation on AEC Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The growth of building information modeling (BIM) adoption in the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has changed project delivery and contract strategies. While there are numerous BIM contract ...
Impact of BIM-Related Contract Factors on Project Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) implementation is growing in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry; however, there is little insight on how contract practices can impact BIM implementation and ...
Using Workforce’s Physiological Strain Monitoring to Enhance Social Sustainability of Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainability is often described in terms of the triple bottom line, which refers to its environmental, economic, and social dimensions. However, the economic and environmental impacts of decisions have been easier to ...
Improved Advancing Front Mesh Algorithm with Pseudoislands as Internal Fronts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an alternative implementation of the advancing front method for generating two-dimensional triangular unstructured meshes for finite-element applications. After initializing the front along the boundaries, ...
