RISReasons for Performance Differences among ISO 9001:2015–Certified Construction Companies in the Perspective of TQM Elements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although some studies identified positive effects of ISO certification on company performance, some studies proposed that the ISO 9000 certification does not guarantee high performance. To understand the reasons for ...
Alternative Dispute Resolution Selection Framework to Settle Disputes in Public–Private Partnership Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Effective use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods is critical because disputes are one of the biggest concerns in public–private partnership (PPP) projects. However, decision makers still struggle to implement ...
Acoustic Emission Based Monitoring of the Microdamage Evolution During Fatigue of Human Cortical Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stress fractures are frequently observed in physically active populations, and they are believed to be associated with microcrack accumulation. There are not many tools for realtime monitoring of microdamage formation ...
Elastic Deformation of Mineralized Collagen Fibrils: An Equivalent Inclusion Based Composite Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mineralized collagen fibrils are the basic building blocks of bone tissue at the supramolecular level. Several disease states, manipulation of the expression of specific proteins involved in ...

Abstract: This work addresses the issue of fitting a geometrical shape to the Hierapolis theater near the city of Denizli, Turkey. The aim of the study was to determine the geometrical shape of the theater that would best fit the ...
Closure to “CPT-Based Probabilistic Soil Characterization and Classification” by K. Onder Cetin and Cem Ozan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
CPT-Based Probabilistic Soil Characterization and Classification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to lack of soil sampling during conventional cone penetration testing, it is necessary to characterize and classify soils based on tip and sleeve friction values as well as pore pressure induced during and after ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Gravity Load Designed Reinforced Concrete Frames Subjected to Mid-America Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The infrequent nature of earthquakes in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), and the fact that none with intensity comparable to the New Madrid sequence of 1811-12 has occurred in the past century, have caused the ...
Assessment of Life Cycle Risks of Deconstruction in Urban Regeneration Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Deconstruction is the eco-friendly alternative to demolition. It can help reduce the waste stream from urban regeneration projects (URPs) to landfills. The literature, however, does not provide a sufficient theoretical ...
Location-Dependent Biomechanical Characterization of the Human Achilles Tendon in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although diabetes is associated with alterations in the structural and functional properties of soft tissue, the response of the human Achilles tendon to location-dependent variations in both quasi-static and dynamic loading ...
