Development and Early-Age Performance of an Innovative Prestressed Precast Concrete Pavement
(ASCE, 2/1/2020 1)Use of precast concrete pavement (PCP) for rapid construction of roads has gained high popularity in the last decade. In this technology, precast pavement panels are cast in a precast yard, transported to the construction ... -
Detection of Collusive Tenders in Infrastructure Projects: Learning from Operation Car Wash
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Procurement practices are often characterized by competitive tendering. The overarching purpose of this is to ingrain transparency, probity, and value for money into the processes of acquiring goods and services. When ... -
Effects of Safety Climate and Safety Behavior on Safety Outcomes between Supervisors and Construction Workers
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Safety climate and safety performance in construction projects vary at an organization level and group level. However, the differences between supervisors and construction workers are rarely examined. This study compared ... -
Development of a Conceptual Benchmarking Framework for Healthcare Facilities Management: Case Study of Shanghai Municipal Hospitals
(ASCE, 1/1/2020 1)Healthcare facilities management (HFM) plays an important role in delivering healthcare services. However, compared with core activities in hospitals (i.e., quality and safety of medical treatment and clinical care), ... -
Relational Partnership in Public Construction Organizations: Front-Line Employee Perspective
(ASCE, 2020)The adoption of relational contracting (RC) has been increasingly used by parties in various developed countries as one of the innovative tools in traditional contracting to achieve benefits such as cost savings, schedule ... -
Developing a Fuzzy Value-for-Money Analysis Model for Annuity-Based Public-Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects under Consideration of Risk Mitigation Capability
(ASCE, 2020)Optimal allocation of risk between the public and private sector is instrumental to the enhancement of value-for-money (VFM) for public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects. This study offers a novel method ... -
Young Talent Motivations to Pursue Craft Careers in Construction: The Theory of Planned Behavior
(ASCE, 2020)Past studies indicate that the US construction industry is facing challenges to attract young talent to pursue craft careers. The main goal of this research is to understand the underlying factors that influence career ... -
Knowledge Sharing and Productivity Improvement: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach
(ASCE, 2020)Labor productivity is a major determinant of project performance in construction. Models of labor productivity in construction tend to focus on learning curve theories that assume learning is an individual process with no ... -
BIM Voxelization Method Supporting Cell-Based Creation of a Path-Planning Environment
(ASCE, 2020)Cell-based path planning is studied and applied worldwide. Building information models (BIMs) can be used as the environment for path planning. However, studies providing an applicable and detailed approach to converting ... -
Identifying Workers’ Safety Behavior–Related Personality by Sensing
(ASCE, 2020)Many construction accidents are caused by workers’ unsafe behavior, and evidence suggests that individuals who are not sensitive to risks are accident-prone. Therefore, identifying workers with certain personal characteristics ... -
Optimum Outcome-Sharing Construction Contracts with Multiagent and Multioutcome Arrangements
(ASCE, 2020)Incentive contracts are widely used in construction to not only provide motivation but also to develop a cooperative relationship among project players. However, establishing the best outcome sharing is seen as a challenge ... -
Cost of Occupational Incidents for Electrical Contractors: Comparison Using Robust-Factorial Analysis of Variance
(ASCE, 2020)Construction accidents can negatively affect the performance of a project. Evaluating the financial consequences of these accidents is an effective method for measuring their impacts on owners, contractors, and society. ... -
Identification of Critical Causes of Tower-Crane Accidents through System Thinking and Case Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Tower-crane accidents occur frequently and often have serious consequences. To identify the critical causes of tower-crane accidents, this study adopted a method that combined system thinking and case analysis. The entirety ... -
Solving Workplace Deviant Behavior in Construction by Leader–Member Exchange and Leader–Member <i>Guanxi</i>
(ASCE, 2020)The success of construction projects is largely influenced by the significant costs incurred by workplace deviant behavior (WDB). It is useful to better understand how WDB occurs among workers for its preventive management. ... -
