Discovering Context-Specific Integration Practices for Integrating NEPA into Statewide and Metropolitan Project Planning Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)When the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and the transportation project planning process are not streamlined, the NEPA process may lead to duplication of work and project delays. This paper presents research ... -
Unified Framework for Construction Project Integration
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Moving the construction industry towards a more-integrated approach to project delivery could improve its overall performance. The aim of this paper is to develop a unified framework for project integration by identifying ... -
Quality and Safety in Construction: Creating a No-Harm Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016) -
A Real-Time Online Structure-Safety Analysis Approach Consistent with Dynamic Construction Schedule of Underground Caverns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because of the uncertainties present in geology and construction processes, construction projects in underground cavern groups are typically characterized by high degrees of uncertainty. The real-time safety analysis of ... -
Benchmark Performance Metrics for Integrated Project Delivery
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The construction industry is fraught with waste and inefficiencies resulting in projects often failing to meet owners’ expectations. Integrated project delivery (IPD) is the newest project delivery system (PDS) and changes ... -
The Resource-Based View on Project Risk Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The benefits of conducting risk analyses in the planning of construction projects are widely acknowledged. However, the actual implementation of procedures notably differs significantly across industry segments. Even within ... -

Project Delivery Method Performance for Public School Construction: Design-Bid-Build versus CM at Risk
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The construction of public schools is a complex endeavor due to the involvement of multiple and diverse parties, funding and budgetary concerns, and statutory limitations imposed by local, state, and federal agencies, all ... -
Influence of the Format of Engineering Information and Spatial Cognition on Craft-Worker Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A series of field trials with pipefitters in North America was conducted to explore how their spatial cognition influenced their performance on a scale model assembly task. Participants were provided one of three information ... -

Construction Cost and Duration Uncertainty Model: Application to High-Speed Rail Line Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Transportation construction projects are often plagued by cost overruns and delays. Applying contingencies and estimating risks at the project level often do not capture the multiple uncertainties in the construction process ... -
Measuring Constructs of Relational Contracting in Construction Projects: The Owner’s Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Traditional project design and construction delivery is segmental. Researchers and practitioners often cite the separation, or “silo effect,” as a reason for poor project outcomes. In response, new forms of integrated ... -
