Investigating the Correlation and Synergy of Artificial Intelligence Techniques, Construction Technologies, and Their Key Benefits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Despite its reputation as one of the least digitized sectors, the construction industry
increasingly adopts artificial intelligence (AI) and construction technologies. However,
previous research has not adequately ...
First Attempt Toward a Holistic Understanding of the Interdependent Rippled Impacts Associated with Out-of-Sequence Work in Construction Projects: System Dynamics Modeling Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Out-of-sequence (OOS) work during construction is a major cause of productivity losses, cost and schedule overruns, and quality decline, either directly or indirectly. Given the complexity of construction projects, such ...
Decision-Making Framework for Holistic Sustainable Disaster Recovery: Agent-Based Approach for Decreasing Vulnerabilities of the Associated Communities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainable disaster recovery involves not merely the restoration of the physical built environment, but also meeting the needs of the impacted stakeholders and decreasing the vulnerability of the host community to future ...
Managing Construction Projects through Dynamic Modeling: Reviewing the Existing Body of Knowledge and Deriving Future Research Directions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To improve decision making in construction projects, dynamic models have been developed to grasp the complex project dynamics that traditional scheduling and decision-making techniques miss. However, each of the existing ...
Enhancing Management of Transportation Projects: Integration Factors for Using Smart Contracts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe US Department of Transportation (USDOT) delivers a wide range of infrastructure
projects, backed by a fiscal year 2023 budget exceeding $100 billion. These projects
face mounting pressures to meet performance, ...
Guiding State-Specific Studies on Highway Disasters: Examining Differences in Postdisaster Funding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe highway sector is frequently and severely impacted by natural disasters. To mitigate
these effects and reduce the need for large relief budgets or emergency funds, it
is crucial to study the resilience of the ...
Managing and Accelerating the Circular Economy Transitions within the Construction Value Chain Using Network Governance and Game Theory Systems Perspectives
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe fragmented nature of the construction industry has hindered its transition toward
circular economy (CE) practices. While game theory (GT) has been successfully applied
to support the strategic decisions of CE ...
