Explicating the Role of Relationship in Construction Claim Negotiations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction claim negotiation has become a common managerial process in the construction business. Research on negotiation has overlooked relationships between negotiators as an important contextual factor. This study ... -
Performance Measurement of Building Sheet-Metal Ductwork Prefabrication under Batch Production Settings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Mechanical contractors have been among the very early pioneers of construction prefabrication by moving a significant amount of work to sheet metal fabrication shops off-site to produce common fittings of mechanical building ... -
Impact of Design Changes on Virtual Design and Construction Performance for Electrical Contractors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Specialty trade contractors have increasingly invested in virtual design and construction (VDC) capabilities to virtually model the project, ensure the constructability of the model, engineer its system components, ... -
Application of Voting Theory to the Float Ownership Problem
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A longstanding contentious question in construction scheduling is who owns float: the owner or general contractor. Float is the ability of scheduled activities to absorb delays by their flexible timing. Zero float is ... -
Research on a Real-Time Monitoring Platform for Compaction of High Embankment in Airport Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Quality control of embankment compaction is of great significance to the durability and stability of high-embankment airports. The current method of embankment quality control mainly relies on manual inspection for a limited ... -
Reverse Auction Bidding: Studying Player Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Reverse auction bidding is a recent development in the auctioning of goods and services. Significant controversy exists within the construction industry as to whether reversed auction bidding is akin to bid shopping. This ... -
Suitability of Intelligent Compaction for Asphalt Pavement Quality Control and Quality Assurance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Intelligent compaction (IC) is an emerging technology that can be applied to improve the compaction of hot mix asphalt (HMA). This study investigated the applicability of IC technology for the quality control (QC) and/or ... -
Developing a Novel Framework to Manage Schedule Contingency Using Theory of Constraints and Earned Schedule Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, a novel framework is presented for estimating, allocating, and managing schedule contingency using the theory of constraints and the earned schedule technique. The main aim of the proposed framework is to ... -
Performance-Based Maintenance Contracting in Florida: Evaluation by Surveys, Statistics, and Content Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In recent years, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) adopted a form of performance-based maintenance contracting (PBMC) that it calls the asset maintenance contracting (AMC) program. This case study presents ... -
Financial Conflict Resolution for Public-Private Partnership Projects Using a Three-Phase Game Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Many countries use financial aids to expedite public-private partnership (PPP) projects, depending on their financial status and/or demand for additional infrastructure. Minimum revenue guarantees (MRGs) are one financial ... -
Cost Estimation Framework for Optimal Retrofit Planning to Mitigate Residential Building Vulnerability to Wildfires
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Communities near forests are vulnerable to wildfires. Retrofit measures to reduce the vulnerability of residential buildings to wildfire include improvements that hinder, mitigate, or prevent damage from wildfire heat and ... -
Measurement and Dependence Analysis of Cost Overruns in Megatransport Infrastructure Projects: Case Study in Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study investigates the characteristics of the cost performance of megatransport infrastructure projects in Hong Kong and performs dependence analysis of cost overruns. It is based on 57 samples of road, rail, bridge, ... -
Asphalt Fume Exposures by Pavement Construction Workers: Current Status and Project Cases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Workers involved in asphalt pavement construction are exposed to asphalt fumes. The adverse health effects of asphalt fumes have long been recognized; however, there is still a lack of consistent and systematic approaches ... -
Factors Influencing Household Solar Adoption in Santiago, Chile
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In Santiago, Chile, the market conditions are seemingly excellent for the household adoption of photovoltaic (PV) technology, yet the uptake is negligible. To explore this paradox, the authors conducted a Delphi study to ... -
Mental Model Approach to Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Delivery during Emergency Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The proper management of water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services is critical in serving displaced populations. In 215, the Azraq refugee camp in Jordan serving the displaced Syrian populations became one of the first ... -
Safety Guideline for Safe Concrete Placement Utilizing the Information on the Structural Behavior of Formwork
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Temporary structures are designed from complex structural analyses. Concrete formwork is a representative temporary structure, and frequently fails during construction due to unexpected external factors. Therefore, safety ... -
Economic Analysis of Design Errors in BIM-Based High-Rise Construction Projects: Case Study of Haeundae L Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Design errors are one of the major risk factors causing rework and delay. Therefore, accurate cost analysis of potential economic losses attributable to design errors is crucial from a practical point of view. This paper ... -
Workflow Process Model for Flash Track Projects
