Revenue Risk Allocation Mechanism in Public-Private Partnership Projects: Swing Option Approach
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)A fair revenue-risk allocation is essential for successful public-private partnership (PPP) projects. In this paper, a swing option, which can hedge the underlying risk in two directions above and below expectations, is ... -
Using the HAZOP Method to Conduct a Risk Assessment on the Dismantling of Large Industrial Machines and Associated Structures: Case Study
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper presents a method that can be used to conduct a safety risk assessment prior to the dismantling of large bulk materials handling machines. The method was developed during a dismantling project that involved the ... -
How Innovation Champions Frame the Future: Three Visions for Digital Transformation of Construction
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Digital technologies are expected to create transformational change in the construction sector. Previous studies have either anticipated the impact of individual technologies or outlined a number of nontechnology-focused ... -
Kitting Logistics Solution for Improving On-Site Work Performance in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Material kitting has been proposed as an effective solution to organize just-in-time (JIT) material deliveries around assembly tasks; however, its applicability and impact on construction projects has not been thoroughly ... -
Investigation into Lead Time of Construction Materials and Influencing Factors
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)An appropriate material-management strategy requires estimation of, and classification based on, the lead time of construction materials. To estimate the lead time precisely, the identification of the factors that influence ... -
Data-Driven Predictive Modeling of Highway Construction Cost Items
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The highway network is an economically necessary form of transportation that has a significant impact on the quality of the life of the citizens who use it. Cost overruns in highway projects have been a universal occurrence ... -
Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem under Multiple Time Constraints
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This paper introduces a new practical scheduling problem called the resource-constrained project scheduling problem under multiple time constraints, which involves a duration constraint of activity, temporal constraint, ... -
Soil–Cement Screw Pile: Alternative Pile for Low- and Medium-Rise Buildings in Soft Bangkok Clay
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Bangkok clay is a soft marine clay with high water content and low bearing capacity. Bored piles installed by the dry process commonly are used for low- to medium-rise buildings in the metropolis. However, the installation ... -
Comparative Study on Perception of Causes for Construction Task Delay in China and the United States
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Rapidly growing construction markets in China and the United States have provided opportunities for contractors to venture into foreign industries. To help project managers understand the fundamental difference in culture ... -
Bid or No-Bid Decision Model for International Construction Projects: Evidential Reasoning Approach
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The decision to bid or not bid on international construction project tenders is highly complex, due to the many uncertain factors associated with such projects. This study proposes a multiattribute bid or no-bid decision ... -
Internet of Things Enabled Data Acquisition Framework for Smart Building Applications
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)With the networks of sophisticated sensors and devices, building systems have the potential to serve as the infrastructure that provides essential data for the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart city paradigm. However, ... -
Noncompete Provision Design for Transportation PPP Projects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Projects with poor noncompete provision design have caused heavy costs for both public and private organizations, primarily due to the embedded monopoly right of the private sector to collect toll revenue. Prior studies ... -
Proactive Design Quality Assessment Tool for Building Projects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Building projects have become increasingly complex in recent decades for various reasons, including continuously improving technology, ongoing demand for more sophisticated design, and larger numbers of project stakeholders. ... -
Integrating Quality and Safety in Construction Scheduling Time-Cost Trade-Off Model
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Quality and safety are important and are the leading concerns in a construction project. Planning a project without properly incorporating these two performance parameters propagates multifarious defects and accidents in ... -
Analysis of the Limits of Automated Rule-Based Ergonomic Assessment in Bricklaying
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Physically demanding and repetitive tasks expose workers to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Over the last few decades, various rule-based postural assessment systems have been developed and widely used to ... -
Critical Assessment of Contract Administration Using Multidimensional Fuzzy Logic Approach
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The success of a project depends on the importance of investigating the impact of contract administration implementation parameters such as response time, approval process, resolving issues, coordination, and documentation. ... -
Functional Evaluation of Change Order and Invoice Management Processes under Different Procurement Strategies: Social Network Analysis Approach
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)As construction projects become more complex, making strategic decisions such as selecting the appropriate delivery method and the right type of contract becomes more convoluted. Several studies have realized that delays ... -
Predicting City-Level Construction Cost Index Using Linear Forecasting Models
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Because of the importance of budget planning and contract bidding, accurate prediction of future movements of the construction cost index (CCI) has been a crucial part of construction cost management. Despite the fact that ... -
Estimating the Frequency of Exposure to Uncertain Hazards: Impact of Wind Conditions on Concrete Dam Construction
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Due to the narrow construction site, intensive construction, and constant strong winds, some concurrent activities during concrete dam construction are proven to lead to space conflicts and increase the frequency of exposure ... -
