Barriers and Enablers to Circular Building Design in the US: An Empirical Study
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)As discussions around the circular economy (CE) start to move beyond Eurocentric approaches, US stakeholders are left with the mission of carving their way into CE. The US building sector has substantial impacts in resource ... -
Global Collaborative Network of Skyscraper Projects from 1990 to 2010: Temporal Evolution and Spatial Characteristics
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)With architecture, engineering, and construction projects tending to be larger and more complex, their participating organizations are becoming more diversified and internationalized. This is particularly true for megaprojects ... -
Production Control in Earthworks: Concepts and Metrics
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The lean construction theoretical lens afforded by the Transformation-Flow-Value (TFV) theory has led to changes in the way production is understood in building construction projects. However, this new perception of ... -
BIM-Based Approach for Automatic Pipe Systems Installation Coordination and Schedule Optimization
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Detailed planning, sequencing, and scheduling for the installation of multiple pipe systems are greatly needed to efficiently complete a piping project with both reduced cost and duration. Conventional manual scheduling ... -
Sustainability-Driven Decision-Making Model: Case Study of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Foundation Piles
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Currently, foundation piles for inhabited areas are often constructed using a continuous flight auger, which is a cost- and time-efficient technology that does not require stabilization of the borehole wall; the steel bar ... -
Axiology-Based Valuation Modeling for Human-Centered Decision Making in Building Planning and Design
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Understanding and assessing the value of building systems to stakeholders and the impacts of decision making on this value has become a national imperative. However, there is still a lack of understanding and formalized ... -
Low–High Orthoimage Pairs-Based 3D Reconstruction for Elevation Determination Using Drone
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)This paper presents a 3D reconstruction method for fast elevation determination on construction sites. The proposed method is intended to automatically and accurately determine construction site elevations using drone-based, ... -
Three-Dimensional Object Detection with Deep Neural Networks for Automatic As-Built Reconstruction
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Automatic three-dimensional (3D) as-built reconstruction for non-Manhattan structures and multiroom buildings remains an industrywide challenge due to complex building environments and high demands for generating volumetric ... -
Data-Driven Prediction of Contract Failure of Public-Private Partnership Projects
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The public-private partnership (PPP) has been adopted by many governments in developing countries to provide better public services. However, PPP projects have a high risk of contract failure. To proactively predict PPP ... -
Critical Factors Affecting Intention of Use of Augmented Hearing Protection Technology in Construction
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Despite the risk of occupational hearing loss, many noise-exposed construction workers are unwilling to wear hearing protection devices (HPDs) due to their concern about the degraded audibility of environmental sounds. ... -
Interconnectivity in Collaboration Networks Impact on Member Belongingness
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The nature of the construction industry is project-oriented with extensive collaborations. Belongingness, formed from collaborations, represents a sense of membership and an emotional attachment to teams. Team members’ ... -
Opening Up the Innovation Process in Construction Firms: External Knowledge Sources and Dual Innovation
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Empirical evidence on the relative significance of various sources of knowledge for different construction firms’ innovation activities and processes is limited. This study examines the relationships between six external ... -
Evaluation Model for Influences of Driving Forces for Electronic Procurement Systems Application in Ghanaian Construction Projects
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Recent recognition for increased digitization of construction processes presents an important need to accelerate electronic procurement systems (EPS) application on projects. The EPS uptake rate in construction is relatively ... -
Application of Data Fusion via Canonical Polyadic Decomposition in Risk Assessment of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Construction: Procedure and Stability Evaluation
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Missing data is a common problem in data collection for work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD) risk-assessment studies. It can cause incompleteness of risk indicators, leading to erroneous conclusion on potential ... -
