Proposal of a Key Performance Indicator for Railway Track Based on LCC and RAMS Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The performance of railway tracks can be assessed by separately applying different approaches, such as reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) and lifecycle costing (LCC). Results of these approaches ... -
Construction Workers’ Well-Being: What Leads to Depression, Anxiety, and Stress?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Work-related stress is an important issue in any industry, particularly in construction, in which stressful environments are frequently encountered. “What are the primary stressors in the construction workplace?” and “What ... -
Developing Optimal Paths for Evacuating Risky Construction Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction sites are susceptible to damage due to the occurrence of natural and technological hazard events such as fire and thermal flux. Therefore, project planners must adopt innovative approaches for evacuating ... -
Discussion of “Toward Error Management in Construction: Moving beyond a Zero Vision” by Peter E.D. Love and Jim Smith

National Culture Shapes Private Investment in Transportation Infrastructure Projects around the Globe
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Recent decades have seen extensive use of public-private partnerships (PPP) in international infrastructure development from governments, private construction firms, and humanitarian organizations. Given the high social ... -
3D Visualization-Based Ergonomic Risk Assessment and Work Modification Framework and Its Validation for a Lifting Task
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The construction manufacturing industry in North America has a disproportionately high number of lost-time injuries because of the high physical demand of the labor-intensive tasks it involves. It is thus essential to ... -
Multiobjective Framework for Managing Municipal Integrated Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The massive number of infrastructure intervention activities occurring in cities leads to detrimental social, environmental, and economic impacts on the community. Thus, integrating the asset intervention activities is ... -
Empirical Analysis of Firms’ Willingness to Participate in Infrastructure PPP Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Private participation is the key element in forming a public-private partnership (PPP). Numerous studies have identified the factors of private participation in infrastructure projects, but the results have rarely focused ... -
BIM-Based Collaboration Platform for the Management of EPC Projects in Hydropower Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts are becoming the most common form of contracting in the hydropower trade for large-scale hydropower projects. Because of an increase in the complexity, variability, ... -
Industrialized Building Companies’ Business Models: Multiple Case Study of Swedish and North American Companies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Industrialized building companies apply various product predefinition strategies, derived from market- or resource-based strategic perspectives. This strongly affects the buildup of such companies’ business models and their ... -
Why Journalism Matters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Methods for Selection of Construction Project Manager: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The main objective of this paper is to develop a systematic method for identifying the best among the candidates in the process of construction project manager selection by applying two methods. The proposed method combines ... -
Sharing the Big Risk: Assessment Framework for Revenue Risk Sharing Mechanisms in Transportation Public-Private Partnerships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The allocation and management of revenue risk is a critical issue in the development of public-private partnership (PPP) concessions for new roadways. In order to attract financing, governments often provide fiscal support ... -
Integrating Worker Health and Safety into Sustainable Design and Construction: Designer and Constructor Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Sustainable building design and construction is gaining rapid growth within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry as a substantial opportunity to improve the efficiency of building projects by ... -
Managing Project Performance Risks under Uncertainty: Using a Dynamic Capital Structure Approach in Infrastructure Project Financing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Infrastructure project financing and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are underpinned by risk allocation between the public and private sectors. Project performance risks are often passed to the private sector as a ... -
Engineering Approach Using ANN to Improve and Predict Construction Labor Productivity under Different Influences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Construction labor productivity is a fundamental piece of information for estimating, budgeting, and scheduling a construction project. The current practice to estimate construction labor productivity relies primarily on ... -
Assessing Task Mental Workload in Construction Projects: A Novel Electroencephalography Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Inappropriate task allocation in construction activities results not only in lower productivity but also higher error rates and more work-related injuries. Without quantitative assessment of task demand, it is nearly ... -
Application of Data Mining Techniques to Quantify the Relative Influence of Design and Installation Characteristics on Labor Productivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The factors affecting productivity have classically been categorized as those related to the work environment and the work to be done, resulting in a piecewise understanding of productivity. In general, the factors among ... -
Feeling Positive and Productive: Role of Supervisor–Worker Relationship in Predicting Construction Workers’ Performance in the Philippines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Given the complex and dynamic nature of construction work, workers rely heavily on their supervisors for task allocation and ongoing guidance and support. Their relationships with supervisors can directly affect their ... -
