Integration of Lessons Learned Knowledge in Building Information Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Lessons learned systems are vital means for integrating construction knowledge into the various phases of the construction project life cycle. Many such systems are tailored toward the owner-organization’s specific needs ... -
Building Information Modeling Body of Knowledge. II: Consensus Building and Use Cases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper aims to apply the building information modeling (BIM) body of knowledge (BOK) framework, established during the background, framework, and initial development phase, to determine what common knowledge, skills, ... -
Data-Driven Monitoring System for Preventing the Collapse of Scaffolding Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)As temporary structures, scaffolds have essential roles to hold workers, materials, and equipment throughout construction activities. However, because a safety inspection for scaffolds is primarily visual and labor intensive, ... -
Data-Driven Simulation Model for Quality-Induced Rework Cost Estimation and Control Using Absorbing Markov Chains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper aims to develop a novel, data-driven simulation model to quantitatively assist decision support systems in quality-induced rework cost estimation and control for construction product fabrication. At the core of ... -
Developing a Quality-Embedded EVM Tool to Facilitate the Iron Triangle in Architectural, Construction, and Engineering Practices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In modern architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) practices, the Iron Triangle of schedule, cost, and quality remains the key measurement to gauge project success. Existing tools do not work well at monitoring ... -
Simple and Resistant Construction Built with Concrete Voussoirs for Developing Countries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper provides a solution to the covering of spaces in buildings by substituting masonry vaults comprising voussoirs for traditional horizontal slabs. They are made of precast concrete with cement mortar joints. They ... -
Temporal Effect of Construction Workforce Physical Strain on Diminishing Marginal Productivity at the Task Level
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Physiological status and environmental stressors are known to influence workforce performance at the individual worker level. A previous study, which conducted a cross-sectional comparison in repetitive material-handling ... -
Protecting Bridge Maintenance Workers from Falls: Evaluation and Selection of Compatible Fall Protection Supplementary Devices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Falls from bridge decks are a common issue among highway and bridge maintenance workers. These workers generally rely on existing bridge guardrails for their protection against falls when working on bridge decks. Unfortunately, ... -
Compaction Quality Control of Earth Fills Using Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Quality control for compaction of earth fills is commonly performed by measuring the in situ density using the sand cone method. In situ density measurements from sand cone testing are highly operator-dependent; in addition, ... -
Forecasting Construction Material Prices Using Vector Error Correction Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a vector error correction (VEC) model for use in forecasting the short- and long-term prices of construction materials. This model characterizes the relationship between construction material prices and ... -
Procurement and Governance Choices for Collaborative Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Collaborative approaches to infrastructure procurement are increasingly popular around the world due to their potential to provide improved project performance compared with more traditional approaches. The problem is that ... -
Impact of Regulatory Focus on Choice of Project-Governance Modes: Role of Tolerance of Opportunistic Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Trust and formal control are two typical project governance modes used to manage contractor opportunistic behavior in owner-contractor relationships for construction projects. However, the question of what affects the ... -
Constructive Heuristics for Project Scheduling Resource Availability Cost Problem with Tardiness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This work proposes a deterministic and a probabilistic constructive heuristic for solving the project scheduling resource availability cost problem with tardiness (RACPT), as well as a new mixed integer mathematical ... -
Complexity Analysis Approach for Prefabricated Construction Products Using Uncertain Data Clustering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes an uncertain data clustering approach to quantitatively analyze the complexity of prefabricated construction components through the integration of quality performance-based measures with associated ... -
BIM-Driven Automated Decision Support System for Safety Planning of Temporary Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Temporary structures are essential to support various activities of a construction project. Proper utilization of temporary structures can have a significant influence on critical aspects of the project such as cost, ... -
Beyond the Iron Triangle in Public Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Traditionally, construction professionals have focused on time, cost, and quality tradeoffs for successful completion of public construction projects. In addition to this, no-dispute and safety criteria have also been ... -
Building Information Modeling Body of Knowledge. I: Background, Framework, and Initial Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents the first phase of the building information modeling (BIM) body of knowledge (BOK) research conducted by the Academic Interoperability Coalition (AiC). The AiC BIM BOK initiative identifies and examines ... -
Examining the Relationship between Construction Workers’ Visual Attention and Situation Awareness under Fall and Tripping Hazard Conditions: Using Mobile Eye Tracking
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The risk of major occupational accidents involving tripping hazards is commonly underestimated with a large number of studies having been conducted to better understand variables that affect situation awareness: the ability ... -
Automating the Use of Learning Curve Models in Construction Task Duration Estimates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Standard scheduling tools for construction projects with repetitive tasks assume that labor productivity remains constant throughout the project lifetime. None of these tools accommodate the dynamics of learning throughout ... -
