Hybrid Recommendation Approach for Behavior Modification in the Chinese Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Behavior-based safety (BBS), which contains definition, observation, intervention, and test, is proven to be useful in safety management on-site. Safety training is regarded as an effective method for the BBS intervention. ... -
Real-Time Safety Risk Identification Model during Metro Construction Adjacent to Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Comprehensive and effective safety risk identification in metro construction has a significant impact on risk management. Although previous studies attempted to obtain a final ranking of the risk factors using various risk ... -
Empirical Analysis of Capital Structure Determinants in Infrastructure Projects under Public–Private Partnerships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to financing infrastructure projects in order to address the infrastructure restoration and rehabilitation challenge. However, in the current ... -
Classification of Modular Building Construction Projects Based on Schedule-Driven Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modular construction projects involve concurrent manufacturing production and construction processes for constructing the main structure and the foundation, on-site installation, and finishing work. Using process-driven ... -
Taxonomy and Deployment Framework for Emerging Pervasive Technologies in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Managing complex and dynamic construction projects is challenging because it relies highly on the real-time communication and seamless coordination of numerous things and people that are spatially and temporally distributed ... -
Simulation of a Construction Project: Assessing Impact of Just-in-Time and Lean Principles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The construction industry is always searching for better ways to manage construction projects and improve productivity while leaving a smaller ecological footprint. To help with this goal, a simulation model was developed ... -
Examining Influence of Construction Projects’ Quality Factors on Client Satisfaction Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Quality and client satisfaction is a long-established focus of attention in the construction industry due to its significant role in the success or failure of a project, yet few studies have examined the impact of a lack ... -
Market Concentration and Competitive Intensity of the International Engineering Contracting Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Since the 21st century, the international engineering contracting industry has been developing rapidly. A growing number of contractors have entered the international market to engage in various business fields, leading ... -
Talking Safety: Health and Safety Communication and Safety Climate in Subcontracted Construction Workgroups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The practice of subcontracting out construction work has been identified as a contributing factor in poor work health and safety (WHS) performance. Relatively few studies have considered the processes through which safety ... -
Extending the Transactional View on Public–Private Partnership Projects: Role of Relational and Motivational Aspects in Goal Alignment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In public–private partnerships (PPPs), aligning the goals of the public sector with those of the private contractor is usually achieved using incentives informed by agency theory. However, the success of the traditional ... -
