Contractual Risks of Building Information Modeling: Toward a Standardized Legal Framework for Design-Bid-Build Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Building information modeling (BIM) is an encouraging development in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry due to its data-rich digital representation of building components. Although ... -
Supplier Performance Evaluation in Construction Projects: Challenges and Possible Solutions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Supplier performance analysis can enlighten a construction company about improvement possibilities for better project outcomes. However, for systematic evaluation of a supplier across projects, changing the operating ... -
Aggregation-Based Framework for Construction Risk Assessment with Heterogeneous Groups of Experts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Construction companies continuously seek to improve risk analysis techniques to determine the contingency of projects. Construction risk assessment relies on a group decision-making (GDM) process, in which a heterogeneous ... -
Zero-One Formulation for a Partial Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with Generalized Precedence Relations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) aims to arrange activities to meet resource restrictions. In real life, not all resource types are constrained, nor do all activities face resource restrictions. ... -
Human Resource Allocation to Multiple Projects Based on Members’ Expertise, Group Heterogeneity, and Social Cohesion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Project managers regularly allocate human resources to construction projects. This critical task is usually executed by fulfilling the minimum project staffing requirements, normally based around the quantity and competence ... -
Tools for Measuring Construction Materials Management Practices and Predicting Labor Productivity in Multistory Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Planning, monitoring, and evaluating materials management practices are important for enhancing construction productivity. This study is designed to develop a tool for scoring materials management practices for building ... -
Identification of Social Sustainability Criteria in Building Energy Retrofit Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Building energy retrofits aim to reduce the energy consumption of existing facilities. The most significant impact of any energy retrofit project is during the operation phase of a building, when a building’s users are ... -
Experimental Investigation of Enzyme Stabilization and Its Effect on Clay Brick
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this paper, compressive strength, water absorption, diffusivity capacity, pore area, and the role of the enzyme on clay soil brick were verified. The higher compressive strength at enzyme:water ratios of 1∶150, 1∶250, ... -
Innovation Management and Construction Phases in Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)An innovation management approach for construction projects should take into account the opportunities that different phases of construction create for innovation. This research demonstrates how innovation behavior changes ... -
Empirical Approach to Identify Operational Critical Success Factors for BIM Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Architecture, engineering, construction, and operation (AECO) organizations must adopt building information modeling (BIM) technology, define workflows, and develop internal policies to deliver BIM projects successfully. ... -
Prioritizing Construction Risks Using Fuzzy AHP in Brazilian Public Enterprises
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Risks capable of impacting project objectives are intrinsic to the construction industry. Effective risk analysis has key importance to professionals concerned with construction goals, especially in public enterprises, ... -
Practices for Designing Cross-Functional Teams for Integrated Project Delivery
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)For many years, project delivery methods have been studied in the construction industry to assess their impact on project performance, but few extend that focus to the effect of team composition and organization. However, ... -
Mediating Role of Risk Perception of Trust and Contract Enforcement in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Contract violations have become common problems in construction projects, yet little of the construction contract literature addresses the question of responses to contract violations (i.e., contract enforcement). ... -
Framework for Measuring Resilient Safety Culture in Vietnam’s Construction Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Resilient safety culture is characterized by continuous improvements to safety performance and the capacity to have foresight, recognizing and anticipating the changing shape of safety risks in complex sociotechnical ... -
Enhanced Machine Learning Classification Accuracy for Scaffolding Safety Using Increased Features
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Despite regular safety inspections and safety planning, numerous fatal accidents related to scaffold take place at construction sites. Current practices relying on human inspection are not only impractical but also ineffective ... -
Effect of BIM on Rework in Construction Projects in Singapore: Status Quo, Magnitude, Impact, and Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Rework is a pervasive problem that adversely impacts the performance of construction projects and has become one of the most common concerns of the industry and academia. The rapid popularization of Building Information ... -
Multi-Objective Optimization Model for Inspection Scheduling of Sewer Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Inspection activities play an important role in the operation and maintenance (O&M) strategy in municipalities. Efficient O&M strategies can help in making informed decisions based on the actual condition of pipelines ... -
System-Level Approach for Identifying Main Uncertainty Sources in Pavement Construction Life-Cycle Assessment for Quantifying Environmental Impacts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Poor data quality in pavement construction life-cycle inventory (LCI) causes uncertainty in quantifying the associated environmental impact through life-cycle assessment (LCA). To reduce such LCA uncertainty while enhancing ... -
Epistemological Explanation of Lean Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The Toyota production system, on which lean production is based, emerged as the unplanned result of unrelated improvements and innovations. Although the related practices and principles are now widely reported, the theories ... -
