Fuzzy Monte Carlo Agent-Based Simulation of Construction Crew Performance
(ASCE, 2020)The use of agent-based modeling (ABM) in the analysis of construction processes and practices has increased significantly over the last decade. However, the developed models are not able to address both random and subjective ... -
New Approach to Improve General Contractor Crew’s Work Continuity in Repetitive Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2020)A significant number of construction projects involve repetitive processes. Planning them occurs to be a complex task. Network methods traditionally applied to construction scheduling prove inefficient in the case of ... -
Exploring the Effects of Building Information Modeling on Projects: Longitudinal Social Network Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Building information modeling (BIM), as a technological artifact, has been acclaimed to have significant effects on construction projects by overcoming inherent problems such as poor communications. However, little has ... -
Bayesian Updating of Copula-Based Probabilistic Project-Duration Model
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents a generic copula-based method for accurate prediction of probabilistic time performance of projects. The proposed stepwise method first collates all uncertainties of the project activities and propagates ... -
Understanding the Determinants of Construction Robot Adoption: Perspective of Building Contractors
(ASCE, 2020)Construction robots have emerged as a revolutionary technology for buildings. However, real-world adoption is still limited. Little is known how the decision of adopting construction robots or not is made in organizations, ... -
Regulatory Enforcement Approaches for Mass Population Displacement
(ASCE, 2020)During the European Refugee Situation in 2015, Sweden received an influx of forcibly displaced persons seeking asylum, the highest number of asylum seekers per capita among European Union member states. A challenge existed ... -
Data-Driven Simulation-Based Analytics for Heavy Equipment Life-Cycle Cost
(ASCE, 2020)Heavy civil and mining construction industries rely greatly on the usage of heavy equipment. Managing a heavy-equipment fleet in a cost-efficient manner is key for long-term profitability. To ensure the cost-efficiency of ... -
Generating a Daily Bill of Materials at Level of Development 400 Using the Smallest Workface Boundary
(ASCE, 2020)Observations and sample tests at five construction sites showed that the time required for generating a daily bill of materials (BOM) is within the range of 12–68 min. However, 20 foremen interviewed at the sites ... -
Latent Effect of Safety Interventions
(ASCE, 2020)While researchers have dispensed considerable effort in the past decades to reduce the risk of occupational injuries in the construction industry, the large amount of safety incidents occurring each year indicate that many ... -
Parametric Programming of 3D Printed Curved Walls for Cost-Efficient Building Design
(ASCE, 2020)3D-printed construction allows elaborating building elements with diverse shapes that are digitally controlled. This paper exposes the modeling of 3D-printed curved walls through parametric programming in building information ... -
Developing an Underground Utility Occupation Index for Efficient Urban Utilities Planning
(ASCE, 2020)In almost all modern cities, various utility pipelines and cables often form a maze of underground utility network. Mismanagement of underground utility incidents could cause serious consequences including unavailability ... -
Comprehensive Risk Management in Horizontal Directional Drilling Projects
(ASCE, 2020)Nowadays, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology is one of the most popular trenchless construction methods for installing pipelines under obstacles. Both risk analysis and risk management are key tools helping ... -
Development and Application of Safety Technology Adoption Decision-Making Tool
(ASCE, 2020)The need to enhance worker safety in construction has often studied recently due to the high rates of fatalities and injuries in the construction industry. To abate this scourge, various control methods including the use ... -
Factors Affecting the Utilization of Big Data in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2020)With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, big data is expected to enable the creation of new paradigms for construction project management and improve the efficiency of design and construction ... -
Stackelberg Game Theory-Based Optimization Model for Design of Payment Mechanism in Performance-Based PPPs
(ASCE, 2020)Payment mechanisms lie at the heart of public-private partnership (PPP) contracts. A good design of the payment mechanism should consider the owner’s goals in the project, allocate risks appropriately to stakeholders, and ... -
Performance of Resource-Constrained Scheduling Heuristics
(ASCE, 2020)Over the years, the study of resource-constrained scheduling heuristics has focused on testing different sets of priority rules without paying attention to the conditions under which each heuristic produces better results. ... -
Key Attitudes: Unlocking the Relationships between Emotional Intelligence and Performance in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2020)A large body of empirical and theoretical work has identified associations between emotional intelligence and positive outcomes in large-scale projects. However, scholars have yet to fully understand the mechanisms underlying ... -
