Plan to Overcome Barriers to Reverse Logistics in Construction and Demolition Waste: Survey of the Construction Industry
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The aim of this study was to identify the barriers to the adoption of reverse logistics (RL) and to develop action plans to mitigate them as a way to minimize the construction and demolition waste (CDW) produced by the ... -
Why Safety Knowledge Cannot be Transferred Directly to Expected Safety Outcomes in Construction Workers: The Moderating Effect of Physiological Perceived Control and Mediating Effect of Safety Behavior
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The construction industry is notorious for its high accident and workplace injury rates. High rates of construction workplace injuries, including fatalities, occur worldwide in both developed and developing nations. Our ... -
Data-Driven Insights on the Knowledge Gaps of Conceptual Cost Estimation Modeling
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Although data modeling methods for conceptual cost estimation are proven to be effective in academia, they are not adopted by construction practitioners as expected. To understand this fact and find solutions to the challenge ... -
Risk-Based Prioritization Approach to Construction Inspections for Transportation Projects
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Throughout the execution of highway construction projects, inspections are essential for maintaining project quality and ensuring greater traffic safety. Transportation agencies, however, have decreased the frequency of ... -
Predicting the Impact of Country-Related Risks on Cost Overrun for Overseas Infrastructure Projects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Given the complexity of overseas infrastructure projects (OIPs), difficulty in managing country-related risks commonly causes cost overruns. Thus, there is a pressing need for proactively predicting the impact of country-related ... -
Analysis of Construction Workers’ Safety Behavior Based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Personality Test in a Bridge Construction Project
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The construction industry has high accident rates, and construction workers’ unsafe behavior is regarded as a major factor resulting in construction accidents. Behavioral psychology posits that human behavior is driven by ... -
Developing a List of Key Performance Indictors for Benchmarking the Success of Construction Megaprojects
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)An increasing number of construction megaprojects have been invested in and built worldwide over the past decades, yet effective indicators for assessing construction megaproject success (CMS) are not validated, which leads ... -
Key Variables in Determining Energy Shaving Capacity of Buildings during Demand Response Events
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)In the US, the increasing electricity demand lays massive pressure on national grids. Demand response (DR) programs provide an economical way to avoid electrical blackouts by incentivizing end-consumers to reduce their ... -
Stakeholder Perceptions of Transaction Costs in Prefabricated Housing Projects in China
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Prefabrication has the potential to improve the efficiency and sustainability of housing production. However, there are various challenges in the realization of prefabricated housing (PH) from the stakeholder’s perspective. ... -
Agent-Based Simulation of General Contractor–Subcontractor Interactions in a Multiproject Environment
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The behavioral dynamics of general contractors and subcontractors in bidding, construction planning, and production control influence the outcomes of construction projects. To date, researchers have modeled these interactions ... -
Invariant Signatures of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Objects to Support BIM Interoperability between Architectural Design and Structural Analysis
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)There has been an increasing demand in building information modeling (BIM) for structural analysis. However, model exchange between architectural software and structural analysis software, which is an essential task in a ... -
Impact of Regulatory Focus on Uncertainty in Megaprojects: Mediating Role of Trust and Control
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )The behavior preference and decision matching of participants have an important influence on the governance of megaproject uncertainty. However, the framework and drivers largely are unknown, and are little studied. This ... -
Empirical Inference System for Highway Project Delivery Selection Using Fuzzy Pattern Recognition
(ASCE, 12/1/2020 )Selection of a project delivery method in highway construction is a challenging task because of the many decision criteria involved. In addition to quantitative project attributes, the project delivery decision-making ... -
