Planning-Phase Estimation of Construction Time for a Large Portfolio of Highway Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Estimation of highway project construction time prior to design development has received comparatively little focus from researchers. State transportation agencies (STAs) and their management teams need a method or tool ... -
Systematic Camera Placement Framework for Operation-Level Visual Monitoring on Construction Jobsites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper proposes a camera placement framework that incorporates characteristics of complex construction jobsites. The proposed framework consists of three main processes: (1) identification of visual monitoring ... -
Resource Leveling in Projects with Stochastic Minimum Time Lags
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In project management, resources and time are two critical aspects influencing the success of a project. On the one hand, resource leveling, an effective resource optimization technique, is widely adopted to guarantee the ... -
Communicating Health and Safety on a Multinational Construction Project: Challenges and Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The health and safety (H&S) of workers is a critical project management goal in construction. As globalization and migrant movement increases, construction projects are becoming more nationally diverse. Among multinational ... -
Fuzzy Logic Model for Determining Minimum Overheads-Cum-Markup Rate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Contractors in bidding for a construction project often focus on the direct cost and determine a bid price by applying an overheads-cum-markup rate on top of the estimated direct cost. Such a simple method is prone to ... -
Integrating 4D BIM and GIS for Construction Supply Chain Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Construction supply chain management (CSCM) requires the tracking of material logistics and construction activities, an integrated platform, and certain coordination mechanisms among CSCM participants. Researchers have ... -
Impact of Corporate Credit Scoring on Construction Contractors in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In an attempt to enhance the trustworthiness of contractors and reduce corruption, the Chinese government has launched a construction contractor credit scoring (CCCS) scheme in Beijing to evaluate the compliance and integrity ... -
Overview of Concrete Recycling Legislation and Practice in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Recycling concrete waste helps reduce the negative environmental impacts of construction activities. Worldwide, concrete recycling rates and available applications for recycled concrete vary widely. A deep understanding ... -
Real-Time Alarming, Monitoring, and Locating for Non-Hard-Hat Use in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Non-hard-hat use (NHU) is related to many construction accidents, so NHU inspection is crucial to safety management, in which automatic NHU monitoring plays an essential role. Existing computer vision–based NHU inspection ... -
Social Networks and Construction Teams: Literature Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)From the relational contract approaches currently emphasized in construction, researchers have noted that there is enough evidence pointing toward social psychological theories of team formation. Building on a theoretical ... -
Optimal Work Assignment to Multiskilled Resources in Prefabricated Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Multiskilling allows for dynamic reallocation of workers from one stage of production to another in response to bottleneck configurations and, therefore, has been advocated as a potential strategy to improve productivity ... -
Critical Success Factors for Construction Safety: Review and Meta-Analysis of Safety Leading Indicators
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Safety leading indicators are measures of the safety management system that correlate with injury rates. The literature on the topic is dispersed and equivocal in the definition, categorization, and measurement of candidate ... -
Accident Case Retrieval and Analyses: Using Natural Language Processing in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Knowledge management for construction accident cases can identify dangerous conditions and prevent accidents by controlling risks on-site. However, because accident cases are recorded as unstructured text data, significant ... -
Semicustomized Design Framework of Container Accommodation for Migrant Construction Workers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Millions of migrant construction workers (MCWs) worldwide make significant economic contributions to their host countries or regions but often suffer poor housing conditions. It is therefore important to explore new ways ... -
Case Study on Improving the Effectiveness of Public Participation in Public Infrastructure Megaprojects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Public participation is a critical aspect of the success of public infrastructure megaprojects (PIMs), in which ineffectiveness is a constant problem. Although studies have focused on public participation, a method that ... -
Legitimizing Involvement in Emergency Accommodations: Water and Wastewater Utility Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In 2015, 28 European countries cumulatively received over two million applications for asylum, almost three times more than in the previous year. This resulted in pre-existing accommodation facilities reaching capacity and ... -
Construction, Commissioning, and Startup Execution: Problematic Activities on Capital Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The commissioning and startup (CSU) stage of industrial capital projects is made up of a large number of discrete activities. These activities are executed across the construction, precommissioning, commissioning, and ... -
Relationships between Critical Factors Related to Team Behaviors and Client Satisfaction in Construction Project Organizations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Factors related to team behaviors (TBs) have been recognized as critical success factors (CSFs) of a project. Numerous studies on the topic of CSFs have been conducted, but the results have rarely emphasized developing a ... -
Effect of Relational Characteristics on Management of Wind Farm Interorganizational Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)There are many studies on interorganizational projects (IOPs). Nonetheless, only a small portion of the literature examines the relationships among the different participants. This study investigates how relational ... -
Impact of Activity Sequencing on Reducing Variability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Variation in production is a major cause of producing waste in onsite construction operations, resulting in a workflow that is full of delays and interruptions. To reduce the negative impact of waste in construction, ...
