Safety at the Front Line: Social Negotiation of Work and Safety at the Principal Contractor–Subcontractor Interface
(ASCE, 2020)This research investigated the influence of the social context on work practices and safety at the principal contractor–subcontractor interface. Previous research has acknowledged that social interactions among supervisors ... -
Hazardous Area Risk-Based Evacuation Simulation and Analysis of Building Construction Sites
(ASCE, 2020)Building construction sites are highly complex and uncertain, and frequent incidents of dangerous events can easily lead to casualties. Thus, both risk assessment and evacuation analysis are fundamental to safety management. ... -
Predicting Project Performance in the Construction Industry
(ASCE, 2020)Regardless of the different project characteristics in the construction industry, cost and schedule overruns are always regarded as being of paramount importance in the project controls area. Numerous research efforts have ... -
Augmented Balance Point Diagrams for Matching Site and Concrete-Supply Resources
(ASCE, 2020)Matching site concrete-placing resources with the appropriate number of concrete-delivery truckmixers depends upon good site and concrete plant coordination if good concreting productivity is to be achieved. In general ... -
Effect of Justice on Contractor’s Relational Behavior: Moderating Role of Owner’s Asset Specificity
(ASCE, 2020)It is critical to the successful implementation of construction projects that the behavior of both the owner and the contractor meet common expectations. In the transaction, the economic results and the impact of justice ... -
Development of Assessment Tool for Workforce Sustainability
(ASCE, 2020)The work environment in construction is physically and mentally demanding. This demanding environment can place adverse risk on the construction workforce including emotional, physical, and financial challenges. To minimize ... -
Psychological Driving Mechanism of Safety Citizenship Behaviors of Construction Workers: Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior and Norm Activation Model
(ASCE, 2020)Researchers and practitioners are focusing greater attention on safety citizenship behavior (SCB), an important factor in preventing injuries and improving workplace safety conditions; however, very little research has ... -
Mediating Effect of Risk Propensity between Personality Traits and Unsafe Behavioral Intention of Construction Workers
(ASCE, 2020)The construction industry has the highest number of casualties per accident, and workers at construction sites are vulnerable to accidents. Current research on unsafe behavior mainly focuses on behavior-based safety at the ... -
Individuals’ Capacities to Apply Transferred Knowledge in AEC Project Teams
(ASCE, 2020)Architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) project teams are multiteam systems that temporarily gather individuals with diverse expertise to develop a common project. Individuals in these project teams often fail ... -
Improving Effectiveness of Constraints Removal in Construction Planning Meetings: Information-Theoretic Approach
(ASCE, 2020)Timely identification and removal of constraints is critical for improving workflow reliability. Construction project managers need to spend a significant amount of working time in various types of planning meetings to ... -
Safety Risk Tolerance in the Construction Industry: Cross-Cultural Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)Disparities in worker risk tolerance may create barriers to implementing safety management systems and improving safety performance. At present, it is unclear if and to what extent construction safety risk tolerance vary ... -
Empirical Determination of the Smallest Batch Sizes for Daily Planning
(ASCE, 2020)Level of development (LOD) 400 is the level of building information modeling (BIM) defined for fabrication and, hence, the level appropriate for defining the daily scope of construction work. However, when a supervisor ... -
Value Generation in Front-End Design of Social Housing with QFD and Multiattribute Utility Theory
(ASCE, 2020)The design of social housing is a multifaceted endeavor, as are many social projects, such as megaprojects whose expected benefits reach beyond a handful of stakeholders. Understanding the requirements of such projects can ... -
Methodological Pluralism: Investigation into Construction Engineering and Management Research Methods
(ASCE, 2020)The quantitative methodological–based debate in the 1990s in construction engineering and management (CEM) research resulted in researchers considering alternative methodologies. However, a follow up study in 2007 established ... -
Neural Networks Model for Prediction of Construction Material Prices in Egypt Using Macroeconomic Indicators
(ASCE, 2020)Adequate cost estimation at the planning phase is an integral part of a construction project’s success. Many uncertainties disturb the planners’ initial estimations and lead to cost overruns. Although many researchers ... -
Cross-Boundary Contact, Work-Family Conflict, Antecedents, and Consequences: Testing an Integrated Model for Construction Professionals
(ASCE, 2020)Despite the bidirectional nature of work-family conflict, existing studies have focused mainly on work-to-family conflict. This study addresses that shortcoming through proposing an integrated work-family conflict model ... -
Identifying Potentially Risky Phases Leading to Knee Musculoskeletal Disorders during Shingle Installation Operations
(ASCE, 2020)Repeated and prolonged awkward kneeling can result in musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in construction roofers. However, a task-specific risk assessment for roofers’ knee injuries is still missing in the literature. This ... -
Review of Construction Employer Case Studies of Safety and Health Equipment Interventions
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents a review of 153 case studies of equipment interventions to improve safety and health of construction businesses in Ohio in 2003–2016. These represent $6.46 million (2016 USD) in purchases incentivized ... -
Optimized Planning Approach for Multiple Tower Cranes and Material Supply Points Using Mixed-Integer Programming
(ASCE, 2020)It is common to implement multiple tower cranes on building construction projects. The plan for usage of multiple tower cranes should be optimized for better project performance, such as reduced cost or operation time. ... -
Conceptual Quantities Estimation Using Bootstrapped Support Vector Regression Models
(ASCE, 2020)Conceptual cost models do not provide details of materials, equipment, or personnel that make up construction cost. Therefore, obtaining project details for early resource planning and cost control is difficult. A feasible ...
