Paving the Way for Future EEG Studies in Construction: Dependent Component Analysis for Automatic Ocular Artifact Removal from Brainwave Signals
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Construction workers’ poor mental states can lead to numerous safety and productivity issues. One major trend in construction research is quantitatively evaluating workers’ psychophysiological states. With the advances in ... -
SymbioConstruction: A Bibliography-Driven Dynamic Construction Industry Symbiosis Database
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The increasing depletion of nonrenewable resources has motivated society to find alternate sources and methods of industrial processes. This problem can only be solved by using the resources that are given by nature in ... -
Component Change List Prediction for BIM-Based Clash Resolution from a Graph Perspective
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Information technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM), significantly improve the clash detection process, but the clash resolution process is still time consuming. Although some studies have devoted attention ... -
Online Hazard Recognition Training: Comparative Case Study of Static Images, Cinemagraphs, and Videos
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)This research studied the use of cinemagraphs for online training purposes to enhance the hazard recognition of construction “struck-by” hazards. Cinemagraphs (i.e., partially animated videos that loop over time) have ... -
Topology Optimization of Architectural Panels to Minimize Waste during Fabrication: Algorithms for Panel Unfolding and <b>Nesting</b>
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The need to optimize the geometry and topology of construction components and assemblies can often be framed as combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). Such COPs occur throughout construction and are particularly ... -
Estimating Residual Value of Heavy Construction Equipment Using Ensemble Learning
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Knowing the right moment for the sale of used heavy construction equipment is important information for every construction company. The proposed methodology uses ensemble machine learning techniques to estimate the price ... -
Framework for Building Information Modeling Adoption Based on Critical Success Factors from Brazilian Public Organizations
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) sector is adopting building information modeling (BIM) in public and private organizations worldwide. The public sector plays a crucial role in the induction ... -
Current Applications of Game Theory in Construction Engineering and Management Research: A Social Network Analysis Approach
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Game theory provides a rigorous mathematical approach to evaluate and predict stakeholders’ interactions. Even though the construction industry is rich with encounters among its stakeholders, construction engineering and ... -
Roles of Shared Leadership, Autonomy, and Knowledge Sharing in Construction Project Success
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Drawing upon self-determination theory, this study discusses in depth the role of team members’ autonomy and knowledge sharing in construction projects. The main purpose of the study is to investigate the rarely discussed ... -
Investigation into Explainable Regression Trees for Construction Engineering Applications
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The logic of an artificial intelligence (AI) model derived from machine learning algorithms and domain-specific data is analogous to an expert’s perception of a complex problem. Human insight based on know-how and experience ... -
Interactions between Lean Construction Principles and Circular Economy Practices for the Construction Industry
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)With the recurrent challenge of scarcity of resources in the world, the construction industry has been giving more attention to sustainability over the last decades, given that this industry is responsible for a big ... -
Holistic Framework for Highway Construction Cost Index Development Based on Inconsistent Pay Items
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)A construction cost index (CCI) measures the price changes of construction items over time. It allows owner agencies and contractors to monitor construction market fluctuations so that they can more accurately estimate ... -
Variants of Swedish Lean Construction Practices Reported in Research: Systematic Literature Review and Critical Analysis
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Identifying lean construction (LC) practice variants can facilitate LC benchmarking and adoption, provided that national institutional influences on LC practices are acknowledged. Given that motivation, this study contributes ... -
Evaluation of Cost Growth Factors in Design-Build Highway Projects Using Structural Equation Modeling
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Design-build (DB) project delivery is often used to overcome limitations of the traditional design-bid-build delivery method. Identification of project performance influencing factors is important for selecting a project ... -
