Job Burnout of Construction Project Managers: Considering the Role of Organizational Justice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction project managers (CPMs) of contractors experience a great deal of stress. In this study, the authors used job burnout as a core indicator of the chronic psychological stress of CPMs. Based on the job demand-resource ... -
Environmental and Economic Performance of Asphalt Shingle and Clay Tile Roofing Sheets Using Life Cycle Assessment Approach and TOPSIS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The construction industry utilizes many materials that go through different manufacturing and transportation processes. Selecting and using environmentally friendly or green building materials is one way to reduce the ... -
Site Amenities and Workers’ Welfare Factors Affecting Workforce Productivity in Indian Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The issue of low productivity has remained a very serious and chronic problem in construction projects. While previous studies have identified several factors that cause low construction productivity, factors related to ... -
Effect of Tripping Prefabricated Rebar Assemblies on Bar Spacing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Prefabrication of steel reinforcement (rebar) assemblies can reduce construction costs and time while improving fabrication quality and safety. However, changes in rebar spacing (i.e., shifting of rebar from their ... -
Predicting Conceptual Cost for Field Canal Improvement Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A conceptual cost estimation is prepared to assess the feasibility of a project or establish the project’s initial budget at the early stages of the project. The main objective of the paper is automating the cost estimate ... -
Modeling Worker Competence to Advance Precast Production Scheduling Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Current precast production scheduling methodologies often have limited applicability in practice largely due to the limited consideration of human factors and interactions between the scheduling and workforce development. ... -
Interactive Effects of Supportive Leadership and Top Management Team’s Charismatic Vision in Predicting Worker Retention in the Philippines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In facing an intensifying labor shortage, construction organizations that can maintain a stable skilled workforce will have a stronger competitive advantage. Using a multiwave survey conducted in the Philippines, this paper ... -
Work Values across Generations among Construction Professionals in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Employees hold a range of attitudes and beliefs about their work life. This paper’s contribution to the overall body of knowledge is to further the understanding of how construction professionals’ work values are influenced ... -
New Approach to the Distribution of Project Completion Time in PERT Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Normal distribution has been commonly accepted as the probability function for whole project duration estimation. Nevertheless, this assumption does not hold in complex projects with many activities and paths, particularly ... -
Estimation of Optimal Productivity in Labor-Intensive Construction Operations: Advanced Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The traditional practice of comparing actual productivity versus historical productivity only provides relative efficiency data rather than absolute efficiency data. Innovatively, a two-prong strategy for estimating optimal ... -
Best-Value Procurement in Design-Bid-Build Construction Projects: Empirical Analysis of Selection Outcomes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Best-value (BV) procurement is increasingly used in conventional design-bid-build (DBB) delivery, which raises questions regarding the influence of qualifications-based evaluation criteria when selecting construction ... -
Dynamic Modeling of Multifactor Construction Productivity for Equipment-Intensive Activities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction productivity is a major research interest within the construction domain. Because construction is a labor-intensive industry, previous research has often focused on construction labor productivity (CLP). ... -
Case-Based Reasoning Approach for Assessing Safety Performance Using Safety-Related Measures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although the use of safety-related measures (SRM) has been advocated in the literature, construction companies often rely on reactive indicators instead of SRM to evaluate safety performance. A challenge with using SRM in ... -
Multiobjective Dynamic-Guiding PSO for Optimizing Work Shift Schedules
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Work shift system is commonly used in construction projects to meet project deadlines. However, evening and night shifts raise the risk of adverse events and thus must be used to the minimum extent feasible. The three ... -
Viability of the BIM Manager Enduring as a Distinct Role: Association Rule Mining of Job Advertisements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Building information modeling (BIM) has developed as the definitive technology for managing construction projects. With its rise, the corresponding role of BIM manager has emerged as a necessary adjunct role in coordinating ... -
Installation of Integral Prefabricated Bridge Abutment and Pier with Flexible Water Stop Curtain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction of the abutment, pier, and pier cap of long cross-sea bridges are challenging in complex marine environments. In the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB) project, an installation process characterized by ... -
Framework for Identification of Factors Affecting Construction Crew Motivation and Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction researchers have long had difficulties identifying motivational factors and situational and contextual factors affecting crew motivation and performance. The two main objectives of this paper are to define a ... -
First Attempt Toward a Holistic Understanding of the Interdependent Rippled Impacts Associated with Out-of-Sequence Work in Construction Projects: System Dynamics Modeling Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Out-of-sequence (OOS) work during construction is a major cause of productivity losses, cost and schedule overruns, and quality decline, either directly or indirectly. Given the complexity of construction projects, such ... -
Improved Critical Path Method with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Activity Durations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The critical path method is an essential tool for project planning, control, and scheduling. But when it is applied to analyze the critical path of project networks with fuzzy activity durations, two key issues need to be ... -
