Delay Risk Assessment of Repetitive Construction Projects Using Line-of-Balance Scheduling and Monte Carlo Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although the line-of-balance (LOB) method is widely used for the scheduling of repetitive construction projects, there are only a limited number of studies that deal with the issue of how to incorporate uncertainty in ... -
Engineers Seeking Knowledge: Effect of Control Systems on Accessibility of Tacit and Codified Knowledge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Engineering and construction organizations realize that knowledge sharing between employees is essential to be competitive, yet few understand how knowledge sharing is affected by management choices. This paper examines ... -
Reverse Logistics Network-Based Multiperiod Optimization for Construction and Demolition Waste Disposal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Environmental pollution and resource consumption caused by construction and demolition waste (CDW) have become increasingly serious. As a result, it is urgent to focus on waste recycling, resource conservation, and ... -
Modified Fuzzy Group Decision-Making Approach to Cost Overrun Risk Assessment of Power Plant Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Cost overrun risk assessment in the preliminary stages of a power plant project is laden with subjectivity, uncertainty, imprecision, and the vagueness of expert judgment. Current fuzzy approaches to risk assessment in ... -
Are Visual Search Patterns Predictive of Hazard Recognition Performance? Empirical Investigation Using Eye-Tracking Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Poor hazard recognition is a widespread issue in the construction industry. When construction hazards remain unrecognized, workers are more likely to indulge in unsafe behavior, experience unanticipated hazard exposure, ... -
Employees’ Safety Perceptions of Site Hazard and Accident Scenes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Despite the improvement of digital technologies (e.g., building information modeling) in enhancing construction safety management, human factor–related issues such as individual perceptions, attitudes, and behavior ... -
Single Treatment of PPP Road Project Options
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Recent publications have shown the role that options play in addressing the uncertainty, risk, and fairness in public–private partnership (PPP or P3) agreements in toll road projects. Typically, the literature uses financial ... -
Joint-Venture Contractor Selection Using Competitive and Collaborative Criteria with Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Selecting an appropriate joint venture contractor (JVC) is paramount to the success of large-scale infrastructure projects. The purpose of this paper is to develop a unified approach for JVC selection. The proposed approach ... -
Effect of Level of Owner-Provided Design on Contractor’s Design Quality in DB/EPC Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although previous studies have suggested that the level of owner-provided design can influence the performance of design-build (DB) projects, few have explicitly and empirically investigated the effect of the level of ... -
Method for Predicting Raw Material Prices for Product Production over Long Periods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A construction company may invest capital and participate in a special purpose company (SPC) for financing a plant project if high profitability is expected from product production after completion. Thus, the construction ... -
Multiple Modular Building Construction Project Scheduling Using Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Modular construction offers several advantages, such as safe working conditions, fast construction, and high-quality end products. The project scheduling of modular construction should consider the time involved in the ... -
Optimal Camera Placement for Monitoring Safety in Metro Station Construction Work
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Monitoring systems based on cameras are crucial for safety management of the high-risk activities common in the complex environment of metro station construction sites, and hence there is a need for a reliable camera network ... -
Cell-Based Transport Path Obstruction Detection Approach for 4D BIM Construction Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)On-site transport is common in most construction projects. Confined by site sizes and construction schedules, many construction tasks are implemented simultaneously within limited spaces; therefore, the paths necessary for ... -
Using Smartphones to Detect and Identify Construction Workers’ Near-Miss Falls Based on ANN
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In certain circumstances, near-miss falls can evolve into fall accidents in construction sites. Insight into near-miss falls offers an efficient way to better understand fall accidents. In this context, this paper explores ... -
Worker Fatigue in Electrical-Transmission and Distribution-Line Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Within the construction industry, electrical transmission and distribution workers (TD workers) account for one of the highest fatality rates. Because of the hazardous nature of the work, there is little margin for human ... -
Automated Action Recognition Using an Accelerometer-Embedded Wristband-Type Activity Tracker
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Automated worker action recognition helps to understand the state of workers’ actions, enabling effective management of work performance in terms of productivity, safety, and health issues. A wristband equipped with an ... -
Critical Literature Review of Labor Multiskilling in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Research in multiskilling experiences an incremental trend from academic, industrial, and governmental point of views. Different methodologies have been used in previous research to identify best practices in multiskilling. ... -
