Critical Analysis of the Private Sector Roles in Water PPP Failures
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have seen continuous growth in water infrastructure and services over the last few decades due to budgetary and technological constraints of the public sector and the requirements for ... -
Modified Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Production of Ready-Mixed Self-Consolidating Concrete Prepared with a Recycled Concrete Aggregate
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is sustainable, recycled concrete waste that is used as a component of green concretes and that, in the long term, can be a substitute for natural aggregates, which, in turn, can result ... -
Identifying and Categorizing Risks Incumbent in US Nuclear Power Plant Construction
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)In the US, nuclear power plants offer a means of generating power with less carbon emissions and higher efficiency as compared to traditional fossil plants. Because of this, they offer a solution that meets the requirements ... -
Systemic BIM Adoption: A Multilevel Perspective
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Systemic innovations require multiple interdependent actors to change their practices simultaneously in order to realize the benefits of the innovation. Building information modeling (BIM) has been classified as a systemic ... -
Cloud Contractor Selection Model for Design-Build Open Tender
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)For transparency and accountability, public sector clients typically select a contractor using lowest-price open tendering. This paper focuses on improving the selection of a design-build contractor by modeling the inherent ... -
Measurement of Fuzzy Membership Functions in Construction Risk Assessment
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Fuzzy set theory (FST), especially its concepts of linguistic variables and fuzzy membership functions (FMFs), has been frequently used in construction risk assessment due to a lack of historical data and reliance on expert ... -
Analyzing the Association between Lean Design Management Practices and BIM Uses in the Design of Construction Projects
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)There is a beneficial effect when integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with lean practices to identify and reduce waste in the construction industry. According to experts, it is possible to improve the design ... -
Comparative Analysis of the Patterns of Unsafe Behaviors in Accidents between Building Construction and Urban Railway Construction
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Building and urban railway construction are two typical high-risk types of construction in which unsafe behaviors have a considerable impact on the occurrence of accidents. To explore the patterns of unsafe behaviors and ... -
Three-Way Interaction Model for Turnover Intention of Construction Professionals: Some Evidence from Turkey
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Voluntary turnover of key employees with scarce skills and tacit knowledge has a potential influence on the competitive advantage of construction organizations. Although much research has been conducted to find out causes ... -
Outcome of Financial Conflicts in the Operation Phase of Public–Private Partnership Contracts
