Factors Affecting Rework Costs in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Rework adversely impacts the performance of building projects. In this study, data were analyzed from 788 construction incidents in 40 Spanish building projects to determine the effects of project and managerial characteristics ... -
Constructability Assessment Model for Commercial Building Designs in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)At the early design stage of construction projects, designers often rely on rules of thumb to make critical decisions about the geometry, construction systems, and materials of their designs without evaluating construction ... -
Statistical Analysis of Injury and Nonconformance Frequencies in Construction: Negative Binomial Regression Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Quality and safety data from 456 projects constructed by an Australian contractor are analyzed. A total of 21,104 and 17,464 injuries and nonconformances (NCR), respectively, were identified and categorized. A total of 86% ... -
Trends of Fall Accidents in the U.S. Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Constructability: Outline of Past, Present, and Future Research
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Constructability has been researched for the last five decades, along with relevant connotations such as buildability and constructability programs. Definitions and concepts, assessment, computation and implementation ... -
Noncooperative Game-Based Equilibrium Strategy to Address the Conflict between a Construction Company and Selected Suppliers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Automated Mapping of User Activities onto Flexible Space in Space-Use Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Flexible space is an adaptable space that is increasingly used in many types of buildings because it increases space efficiency and contributes to sustainable development. However, the construction industry lacks a formalized ... -
Psychological Contracts: Framework for Relationships in Construction Procurement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The existence of psychological contracts (PC) in construction procurement is examined. Specific objectives are to identify the presence of the PC in construction project teams and catalogue its effect on procurement delivery. ... -
Modeling the Construction Risk Ratings to Estimate the Contingency in Highway Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Past studies have highlighted the importance of risk assessment in construction projects and have recommended different ways to respond to potential risks that may develop over the different phases of the project. One of ... -
Relationship between Individual Resilience, Interpersonal Conflicts at Work, and Safety Outcomes of Construction Workers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Interpersonal conflicts at work (ICW) have been widely regarded as a job stressor; however, it is rarely linked to physical safety outcomes. The ICW primarily has two forms on a construction site: conflicts with supervisors ... -
Innovative Capability of Building Information Modeling in Construction Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Stochastic Assessment of the Material Haulage Efficiency in the Earthmoving Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The match factor is a criterion that measures efficiency of truck and loader compatibility used in the construction industry. This factor is a function of number of trucks and loaders, truck cycle time, and loader loading ... -
Impact of Building Information Modeling Implementation on the Acceptance of Integrated Delivery Systems: Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In recent years, building information modeling (BIM) has been increasingly employed by the architecture, engineering and construction industry worldwide as a result of digital government initiatives. In spite of some ... -
Energy Drink Consumption in the Australian Construction Industry: A Risky New Trend?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Construction workforces’ health behaviors have received little attention compared with work injury risks and management. Formulated caffeinated beverage (FCB) (energy drink) consumption is relatively new to construction ... -
Enhancing Trust-Based Interface Management in International Engineering-Procurement-Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) method is gaining more acceptance worldwide as a project delivery strategy due to the construction efficiencies gained through making one organization responsible for integration ... -
Optimizing an Equity Capital Structure Model for Public–Private Partnership Projects Involved with Public Funds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have been utilized worldwide as an effective tool to fill the gap between a surging demand for infrastructure and a shrinking public fiscal budget. However, the successful implementations ... -
