Abstract: As the construction industry expands from local markets to global markets, many construction and engineering firms have acquired tenders remotely from their home base. When allocating human resource for the management team ...

Abstract: This paper considers robust stabilization of the spillover phenomenon of large flexible structures. New frequency domain robustness measures for a large flexible structure system controlled by an ...

Abstract: Modern government, if not well managed, cannot perform well in a pluralist society. Regarding the public administration performance of dealing with construction permits, Taiwan ranked last among the four little dragons in ...

Abstract: The damaged excavation of the Antikythera mechanism presents the oldest astronomical analog computer in ancient Greece. Its interior mechanism is a complicated gear train with many subsystems in ...

Abstract: Critical gap is the threshold by which drivers in the minor stream judge whether to accept a gap. If the gap is larger than critical gap, drivers accept it and enter the intersection; otherwise, drivers reject the gap and ...

Abstract: The mechanism for the planetary motions contained in the lost subsystem of Antikythera mechanism is a strict challenge of the reconstruction design. This work presents a systematic procedure of ...

Abstract: Previous studies have aimed to develop effective methods to derive baseline productivity (BP) for labor-intensive activities in construction sites. However, there are two different definitions of BPs: one is defined as a ...

Abstract: In this paper, an interactive critical operations planning environment (COPE) is described for planning critical construction operations involving large semistationary equipment such as cranes, concrete pumps, and manipulators. ...

Abstract: Heavy lift planning has a major impact on construction sequencing, scheduling, budgeting, and safety. This paper addresses problems presented by planning for multiple lifts on a single jobsite. This is a common and ...
