RISTemporal Effect of Construction Workforce Physical Strain on Diminishing Marginal Productivity at the Task Level
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physiological status and environmental stressors are known to influence workforce performance at the individual worker level. A previous study, which conducted a cross-sectional comparison in repetitive material-handling ...
Experimental and Analytical Study of Dynamic Behavior of a Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents and discusses the dynamic behavior of two bridge decks. The experimental tests were performed to explain the dynamic performance of one of them: its vertical displacements and accelerations are appreciably ...
Contractual Battles for Higher Ground: Case Examples
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Study of the Relationship between Procurement Duration and Project Performance in Design-Build Projects: Comparison between Water/Wastewater and Transportation Sectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous studies on building, industrial, and transportation projects found that projects delivered using design-build tend to perform better than projects delivered with the traditional design-bid-build method. However, ...
Exploring the Influence of System Quality, Information Quality, and External Service on BIM User Satisfaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the past decade, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) companies around the world implemented building information modeling (BIM) to enhance their firms’ competitiveness and readjust their business processes. ...
Data Fusion of Real-Time Location Sensing and Physiological Status Monitoring for Ergonomics Analysis of Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous research and applications in construction resource optimization have focused on tracking the location of material and equipment. There is a lack of studies on remote monitoring for improving safety and health of ...
Design Management in Design-Build Megaprojects: SR 99 Bored Tunnel Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increasing use of the design-build project delivery method has resulted in it now being one of the most popular nontraditional methods for delivering road, bridge, mass transit, and rail projects in the United States. ...
Empirical Assessment of Spatial Prediction Methods for Location Cost-Adjustment Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the feasibility stage of a project, location cost-adjustment factors (LCAFs) are commonly used to perform quick order-of-magnitude estimates. Nowadays, numerous LCAF data sets are available in North America, but they ...
Training of Low-Literacy and Low-English-Proficiency Hispanic Workers on Construction Fall Fatality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry has made extensive efforts to improve the safety of its labor force through various approaches, including training. However, many construction workers in the United States are recent immigrants ...
Empirical Assessment of Geographically Based Surface Interpolation Methods for Adjusting Construction Cost Estimates by Project Location
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The accuracy of cost estimates is crucial to the success of construction projects with knowledge of project location being fundamental to the outcome of cost estimating. Location factors are commonly used to adjust ...
