RISPrioritizing Construction Activities: Addressing the Flaws of Schedule-Based Indexes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Research on prioritizing construction activities that are critical to the timely completion of projects rests on a range of indexes that attempt to identify the critical path and capture uncertainty in the duration of ...
No Scheduling Problem but Rather a Rescheduling Problem: Measuring Robustness of Schedule Network in Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The available slack-based methods for measuring the robustness of schedule networks do not pay sufficient attention to the structural characteristics of such networks nor do they provide a comparison point for measuring ...
Enhancing Procurement Decision Making in Projects: A Reliability-Based Model for Contracting Suppliers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIn project environments characterized by frequent change orders and inherently complex
procurement processes, effective procurement decision making is critical for managing
uncertainty and mitigating disruptions. ...
Microscale Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation for Wind Mapping Over Complex Topographic Terrains
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wind mapping is of utmost importance in various wind energy and wind engineering applications. The available wind atlases usually provide wind data with low spatial resolution relative to the wind turbine height and usually ...
Forecasting Project Duration in the Face of Disruptive Events: A Resource-Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Disruptive events are the main source of delays in projects. A key task for construction managers is to revise the project schedule plan based on time delays caused by these events. Consequently, project management research ...
System Dynamic–Driven Insights for Metaverse Adoption in the Construction Sector
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractRecent research has identified various factors influencing metaverse adoption in the
construction sector; however, the literature largely examines these factors in isolation,
overlooking their interconnected nature. ...
Lithium-Ion Batteries’ Energy Efficiency Prediction Using Physics-Based and State-of-the-Art Artificial Neural Network-Based Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The new generation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) possesses considerable energy density that arise the safety concern much more than before. One of the main issues associated with LIB safety is the heat generation and ...
Design Guidelines for Rapid Repair of Earthquake-Damaged Circular RC Bridge Columns Using CFRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this study was to develop a rapid and effective repair method using carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics for earthquake-damaged circular RC bridge columns based on apparent damage states. A ...
Energy Index Method: Technique for Identification of Structural Damages
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A structural damage detection method based on the change of strain energy in each element before and after the occurrence of damage is presented. The proposed method can localize and quantify both single and multiple ...
Universal Gray Finite Elements for Heat Transfer Analysis in the Presence of Uncertainties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new finite element method is presented for the analysis of uncertain heat transfer problems using universal gray number theory. The universal gray number representation involves normalization of the uncertain parameters ...
