RISHealth Assessment and Maintenance Strategy for Bridge Management Systems: Lessons Learned in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Usually the rating values are determined by visual inspection in most of the bridge management systems (BMSs). A visual inspection is not very objective, and can sometimes result in a different assessment of element condition ...
Object-Oriented Scheduling for Repetitive Projects with Soft Logics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of network techniques of project scheduling to repetitive projects has been criticized for the inability of network techniques to help maintain work continuity. Moreover, current network techniques require ...
Maintenance Strategy for Bridge Components on the Basis of Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Usually the status of a bridge is determined by its structural capability and material strength. Consequently a lot of researchers have studied the failure, the fatigue, and the deterioration of the structure in terms of ...
Closure to “Developing a Resource Supply Chain Planning System for Construction Projects” by H. Ping Tserng, Samuel Y. L. Yin, and Sherman H. A. Li

Developing a Resource Supply Chain Planning System for Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The high variability of construction environments results in high construction-cost variation, especially in material costs. Inadequate planning may cause material shortages that delay the project schedule or, alternatively, ...
Module-Based Construction Schedule Administration for Public Infrastructure Agencies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infrastructure projects such as the construction of expressways are often distributed over different regions and must therefore be divided into several tendering packages. The public agencies that administrate such projects ...
Automating Schedule Review for Expressway Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An expressway project is often divided into subprojects with different tendering packages, and carried out by several general contractors that apply different scheduling practices. Each schedule may contain hundreds of ...
A Contingency Model of Strategic Responses to the Institutional Challenges in Emerging Countries: Evidence and Findings from Least Developed Countries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The infrastructure development of emerging economies forms new market opportunities with great potential for multinational firms. However, international contractors are faced with extraordinary institutional challenges ...
Exploring the Effectiveness of Chinese-to-English Machine Translation for CLIR Applications in Earthquake Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Machine translation is able to support cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) applications given the availability of high-quality translation resources. This study explores the effectiveness of machine translation for ...
GPS-Based Real-Time Guidance Information System for Marine Pier Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pile positioning, for driving piles below the surface of water in a marine pier construction project, is typically a time-consuming task owing to the fact that the pile wharf is affected significantly by environmental ...
