Contract Administration Guidelines for Public Infrastructure Projects in the United States and Saudi Arabia: Comparative Analysis Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)International construction, where contractors perform works in foreign countries, poses cultural and contractual risks resulting from the dissimilarities in social and legal outlooks. One of the major risks that leads to ... -
Community-Centric Model for Evaluating Social Value in Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Increasing public participation in infrastructure projects elicits the need for a rationalized approach for quantifying value creation in the societal context. Although economic and environmental viability may be relatively ... -
Probabilistic Assessment of Cost, Time, and Revenue in a Portfolio of Projects Using Stochastic Agent-Based Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Unforeseen conditions and uncertainties typically surround construction projects during the execution phase. These uncertainties are the main reason for schedule delays and cost overruns. Stochastic simulation models have ... -
Identification of Enablers and Constraints of Risk Allocation Using Structuration Theory in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Risk allocation has been a focus of interest in the construction industry for some time because of its effects on disputes, claims, tensions, quality shortfalls, and time and cost overruns. Although various theories have ... -
Multiple-Fault Classification for Hot-Mix Asphalt Production by Machine Learning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)To monitor the condition of the hot-mix asphalt production process, the quality and consistency of input aggregates are widely used for monitoring process variation. Current practice involves taking samples from actual ... -
Measuring User Perceptions of Popular Transportation Project Delivery Methods Using Least Significant Difference Intervals and Multiple Range Tests
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)One of the most critical decisions made by transportation project stakeholders is the choice of a project delivery method for their project. Delivery methods have been shown to significantly impact project cost and schedule. ... -
Framework for Managing Integration Challenges of Last Planner System in IMPs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)International megaprojects (IMPs) have a poor record of budget and schedule overruns. Lean Construction methods and the associated Last Planner System (LPS) have been successfully implemented in many projects, but the ... -
Developing a Decision-Making Framework to Select Safety Technologies for Highway Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Highway construction has consistently reported relatively high fatality rates largely because of the considerable exposure of workers to live traffic. To address this anomaly, traffic control planners are tasked with making ... -
Effect of Social Capital between Construction Supervisors and Workers on Workers’ Safety Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study aims to investigate the level of social capital between construction supervisors and workers and how this influences construction workers’ safety behavior. To fulfill these research aims, a structural equation ... -
Risk Allocation in U.S. Public-Private Partnership Highway Project Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Risk is often discussed in connection with public-private partnerships (P3s), and risk allocation is likely a determinant of P3 success or failure. Despite being central to the delineation and allocation of risks, contracts ... -
Structural Stakeholder Model in Public Engagement for Construction Development Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction development projects are often complicated and influence multiple stakeholders with different requirements and interests. Public engagement (PE) has emerged as a prerequisite for collecting stakeholders’ ... -
Framing Energy Efficiency with Payback Period: Empirical Study to Increase Energy Consideration during Facility Procurement Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The federal government is the country’s largest energy user and government facilities are responsible for 4% of total energy emissions, yet traditional energy-efficiency methods are not reducing emissions at the federal ... -
Financial-Based Incentive Plan to Reduce Construction Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction materials wastage has always been a problem in construction projects. This study was conducted to address a long-standing debate in the area of construction waste reduction: financially incentivizing or ... -
Effect of Distraction on Hazard Recognition and Safety Risk Perception
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Both hazard recognition and safety risk perception are fundamental to effective safety management. When construction hazards remain unrecognized or the associated safety risk remains unperceived, the likelihood of human ... -
Bayesian Second-Order Factor Model for Maturity Assessment of CIM Technologies and Practices at Highway Agencies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The work processes for highway infrastructure projects are undergoing significant transformations because of the advent of digital technologies for project delivery and asset management. Civil integrated management (CIM) ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Risk management is a key concern in public-private partnership (PPP) projects and the efficient allocation of risk remains problematic. Previous studies on PPP practices have documented the prevalence of inefficiency in ... -
Proactive Safety Measures: Quantifying the Upright Standing Stability after Sustained Rebar Tying Postures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Fall accidents (FAs) constitute a substantial proportion of construction accidents. While the predominant prevention strategy relies on passive approaches (e.g., guardrails), research on proactive measures is lacking, ... -
Method to Assess the Match between Clients’ Input and Decoupling Points in Customized Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Clients’ input (i.e., design drawings and specifications containing clients’ desired changes) is a key resource for task completion often missing in customized building projects, leading to waste such as additional ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Failure to communicate effectively and poor project knowledge continue to plague the construction industry, particularly concerning delay management and cost control. This paper aims to empirically examine the influence ... -
Optimizing Financing Cost in Construction Projects with Fixed Project Duration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although a few studies have considered financing cost in the construction project, no research has been conducted to select the optimal financing alternatives out of those offered by financial institutions. This study ...
