Forecasting the Number and Distribution of New Bidders for an Upcoming Construction Auction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Estimating the number of new bidders in construction auctions is relevant for both private companies and contracting authorities. For private companies, it allows the total number of competing bidders to be estimated, which ... -
Assessing the Impacts of an IT LPS Support System on Schedule Accomplishment in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper seeks to identify improvements in the level of implementation of the Last Planner System (LPS) with the use of information technologies (IT) based on its methodology. In addition, we correlate the level of ... -
Bilevel Standards-Compliant Platform for Evaluating Building Contractor Safety
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In building construction, contractors are typically selected through competitive bidding or negotiated contracting, in which the project price is the major selection criterion. A contractor’s safety performance is still ... -
Quantifying the Similarity between Different Project Types Based on Their Pay Item Compositions: Application to Bundling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Similarity between project types is an important consideration in several contexts of construction management, including contract development, contractor selection, and project bundling. Projects that require similar types ... -
A Comprehensive Stakeholder-Typology Model Based on Salience Attributes in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This article presents a comprehensive project stakeholder typology model (PSTM) based on stakeholder salience attributes (SSAs). Stakeholders are considered as one of the major pillars of construction projects and management ... -
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emission of Construction Equipment at Construction Sites: Field Study Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Construction operations of construction equipment generate significant greenhouse gas emissions including carbon emissions and diesel exhaust emissions. While improving operational efficiency of construction activities ... -
Scientometric Review of Articles Published in ASCE’s <i>Journal of Construction Engineering and Management</i> from 2000 to 2018
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study aims to address research questions related to the evolution of academic research in the field of construction engineering and management (CEM): (1) what are the mainstream research topics since 2000? ... -
Design Assessment in Virtual and Mixed Reality Environments: Comparison of Novices and Experts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The construction industry is facing a severe shortage of skilled workforce. Higher education is challenged to develop innovative strategies to help college students develop career-specific competency and accelerate the ... -
Pros and Cons of Using Building Information Modeling in the AEC Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the ... -
Skill Set Configuration in Prefabricated Construction: Hybrid Optimization and Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In offsite construction, unbalanced distribution of resources can cause heterogeneity in the production environment and result in cost and time overruns. It is of particular importance to efficiently manage resource-constrained ... -
Integrated Communication, Control, and Command of Construction Safety and Quality
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Two critical factors that site managers have to control during construction are safety and quality. We envisage that the emergence of information and communications technology (ICT) systems is of great use in effectively ... -
Stakeholder Influence Pathways in Construction Projects: Multicase Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Understanding external stakeholders’ influence is essential to achieving success; however, little attention has been paid to investigating their indirect influence on projects. This study aims to explore indirect pathways ... -
Geographic Information System–Based Framework for Estimating and Visualizing Unit Prices of Highway Work Items
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Historical bid items from previous projects are an important source of data for project cost estimation. State highway agencies have widely used this data source for budget planning of highway projects. Current practices ... -
Role of Personality in Construction Safety: Investigating the Relationships between Personality, Attentional Failure, and Hazard Identification under Fall-Hazard Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Workers’ attentional failures or inattention toward detecting a hazard can lead to inappropriate decisions and unsafe behaviors. Previous research has shown that individual characteristics such as past injury exposure ... -
Compensation Cost Estimation Model for Construction Noise Claims Using Case-Based Reasoning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Noise due to construction is recognized as a crucial source of harm to the surroundings of a site. A number of noise-related problems can cause significant risk to an ongoing project. As a first step toward coping with ... -
Influence of Project Bundling on Maintenance of Traffic Costs across Highway Project Types
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Maintenance of traffic (MOT) is the process of providing transportation management and traffic control at highway work zones. MOT work is an essential part of any construction project and can constitute a significant ... -
