Developing a BIM and Simulation-Based Hazard Assessment and Visualization Framework for CLT Construction Design
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)One emerging trend in sustainable medium-density construction is the use of mass timber products such as cross laminated timber (CLT), which is a novel approach that involves numerous connectors. Researchers have not ... -
Relationship between Commissioning and Start-Up Success Factors Achievement and Performance in Capital Projects
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Many industrial projects have experienced significant operability problems and failed to achieve capital project investment objectives during the commissioning and start-up (CSU) phase. To accomplish capital project ... -
Use of Virtual Reality to Assess the Ergonomic Risk of Industrialized Construction Tasks
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Workers in industrialized construction are often exposed to physical demands (e.g., repetitive motion and awkward body posture) associated with the risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, despite the utilization ... -
Fuzzy Linear and Repetitive Scheduling for Construction Projects
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Unavoidable risks that cause uncertainty within activity durations should be modeled to gain realism in scheduling. While approaches exist for one-dimensional network schedules, two-dimensional linear and repetitive schedules ... -
Automation of Inspection Mission Planning Using 4D BIMs and in Support of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle–Based Data Collection
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) provide unique opportunities for applications, such as construction progress tracking and facility monitoring. To increase the effectiveness of UAV-captured data, ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Fugitive Dust Control Methods
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Fugitive dust at construction sites reduces air quality and can affect respiratory health. Contractors must often use dust control strategies to meet environmental regulations for dust mitigation. Water application is the ... -
Development and Application of Performance Index for Comparative Assessment of Public Capital Projects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Studies have estimated that infrastructure investment in the US will fall short by USD 13–20 trillion over the next decade due to growing urbanization. Public entities should seek to maximize the use of their available ... -
Design and Constructability of Novel Extendable Arched Steel Truss Falsework
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Formwork is a very important component in the construction industry and can have major impacts on a project’s budget. The process of selecting a suitable formwork system becomes very important in avoiding budget overruns ... -
Estimation of Road User Costs for Work Zones in Data-Limited or Time-Constrained Environments
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)This paper considers the problem of estimating road user costs (RUCs), such as travel time and delays, for roadway construction projects under time and data limitations. RUCs measure the mobility impacts of construction ... -
Burnout and Worklife in Disaster Restoration: Maslach Burnout Inventory and Areas of Worklife Survey
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Disaster restoration professionals operate in an inherently stressful niche of the construction industry. Their work often demands being on call and working long hours under stressful and dangerous conditions following ... -
Contract Enforcement for Claimants’ Satisfaction with Construction Dispute Resolution: Moderating Role of Shadow of the Future, Fairness Perception, and Trust
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This study pivots around the relationship between claimants’ contract enforcement (i.e., the degree of pursuing contractual rights when resolving construction disputes) and their satisfaction with the resolution ... -
Hybrid Rescheduling Optimization Model under Disruptions in Precast Production Considering Real-World Environment
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Increased emphasis is currently placed on precast production scheduling due to the upward-trending applications of precast technology. However, existing studies primarily focused on static scheduling, and few of them ... -
Developing Metrics for Quantifying Buildings’ 3D Compactness and Visualizing Point Cloud Data on a Web-Based App and Dashboard
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Measuring three-dimensional (3D) building expansion and quantifying both horizontal and vertical dimensions in a nonautomated manner may not be possible for big data sets. This paper aims to present novel metrics for ... -
Measuring Progress and Productivity in Model-Driven Engineering for Capital Project Delivery
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)A key underlying challenge in today’s model-driven approach to engineering is how progress and level of effort are being measured and reported. Recent definitions such as level of development enable project teams to track ... -
Increasing Reliability of Participatory Sensing for Utility Pole Condition Assessment Using Fuzzy Inference
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Aging infrastructure has become a safety issue for local communities. For example, aging and deteriorating utility poles in strong winds have a high risk of falling onto roads, adjacent houses, or vehicles, which could ... -
