Simulation-Driven Design of Wood Framing Support Systems for Off-Site Construction Machinery
(ASCE, 2020)Off-site construction aims to shift construction work to a factory environment, thereby enabling automation of the wood framing process. Current automated or semiautomated solutions for wood framing are assisted by a series ... -
Impact of Project Planning on Knowledge Integration in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2020)Knowledge management is considered to be a critical organizational capacity to create competitive advantage for construction organizations. This study used the knowledge governance perspective to propose that project ... -
Analysis of the Variability of Project Cost and Schedule Performance in the Design-Build Environment
(ASCE, 2020)Design-build (DB) projects are getting more implementations in the United States. Several studies indicate that the DB project delivery system has advantages in project cost and schedule performance. Despite having comparative ... -
Measuring Key Knowledge-Related Factors for Individuals in AEC Project Teams
(ASCE, 2020)Knowledge management practices in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) projects emphasize team integration and motivational factors to improve knowledge transfer among team members, many of whom come from ... -
Construction Activity Recognition and Ergonomic Risk Assessment Using a Wearable Insole Pressure System
(ASCE, 2020)Overexertion-related construction activities are identified as a leading cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among construction workers. However, few studies have focused on the automated recognition ... -
Improving Information Sharing in Major Construction Projects through OC and POC: RDT Perspective
(ASCE, 2020)A vast amount of information is produced in each phase of major construction projects. However, extensive project lifespans and complex organizational relationships may contribute to significant information loss, attenuation, ... -
Codification Challenges for Data Science in Construction
(ASCE, 2020)New forms of data science, including machine learning and data analytics, are enabled by machine-readable information but are not widely deployed in construction. A qualitative study of information flow in three projects ... -
Multidimensional Item Response Theory Analysis of Work-Related, After-Hours Contact, and Psychosocial Measurement Scales for Construction Professionals
(ASCE, 2020)Modern communication technology has had a profound influence on the way people work, often resulting in a blurring of the boundaries between work-life and family-life environments through after-hours, work-related contact. ... -
Augmented and Virtual Reality in Construction: Drivers and Limitations for Industry Adoption
(ASCE, 2020)Augmented and virtual reality have the potential to provide a step-change in productivity in the construction sector; however, the level of adoption is very low. This paper presents a systematic study of the factors that ... -
Understanding Interactions between Design Team Members of Construction Projects Using Social Network Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Social network analysis (SNA) has not been used to study design project teams in which the full interactions have become more complex (formal and informal) because the team members are from different companies and there ... -
Web-Based Tool for Interoperability among Structural Analysis Applications
(ASCE, 2020)Over the last decade, building information modeling (BIM) has been the main player in the architectural, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) industry. The BIM workflow is becoming more powerful by progressively ... -
Reliable, Effective, and Sustainable Urban Railways: A Model for Optimal Planning and Asset Management
(ASCE, 2020)Urban railways play a critical role in the daily life of citizens. However, extensive deterioration of mostly aged systems complicates the management of this type of infrastructure in coping with increased demand and ... -
Relationship between Social Capital, Safety Competency, and Safety Behaviors of Construction Workers
(ASCE, 2020)There are many accidents in the construction industry. Unsafe behaviors, a direct cause of accidents, have been studied extensively, but few scholars have examined the role of social capital in improving workers’ safety ... -
Failure Mechanisms in International Water PPP Projects: A Public Sector Perspective
(ASCE, 2020)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have been embraced by governments worldwide for better project governance and improved value for money by sharing risks and rewards with the private sector and exploiting private capital, ... -
Classifying the Business Model Types of International Construction Contractors
(ASCE, 2020)As the construction business environment becomes increasingly complex and competitive, business model innovation is being accepted as an essential factor in sustaining competitive advantage in the international construction ... -
Optimal Incentive Contract with Asymmetric Cost Information
(ASCE, 2020)As a prevalent problem for construction projects, contractor cost details are unobserved or unknown to the owner. This paper considers a risk-averse owner (he) who engages a risk-neutral contractor (she) to complete a ... -
Enhancing the Knowledge of Construction Business Failure: A Social Network Analysis Approach
(ASCE, 2020)The failure of construction companies is quite crucial because it results in unfinished projects and responsibilities that in turn result in many losses to governments, economies, owners, creditors, and surety companies. ... -
Empirical Bid or No Bid Decision Process in International Construction Projects: Structural Equation Modeling Framework
(ASCE, 2020)The bid or no bid decision in international construction projects requires complex multiattribute analysis. Thus far, there exists no comprehensive framework to support the decision process. The objective of this study is ... -
Fuzzy Set Theory Approach to Classify Highway Project Characteristics for Delivery Selection
(ASCE, 2020)Selecting an appropriate delivery method for highway projects is a complex decision process. Delivery decisions typically involve evaluating both quantitative (e.g., cost, schedule) and qualitative (e.g., project ... -
