Probabilistic Modeling Framework for Prediction of Seismic Retrofit Cost of Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study presents a framework that utilizes Bayesian regression to create probabilistic cost models for retrofit actions. Performance improvement is the key parameter introduced in the proposed framework. The incorporation ... -
Corruption Forms in the Construction Industry: Literature Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Over the past decade, corruption has elicited increasing attention in the construction industry, and several studies have been conducted and published on the topic of forms of corruption in the construction industry. ... -
Building Water and Wastewater System Resilience to Disaster Migration: Utility Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper leverages expert knowledge from leaders in water and wastewater utilities to anticipate water and wastewater infrastructure impacts in communities that host populations displaced by disasters. These experts ... -
Arch First and Beam Later: Arch-Rib Integral Installation Construction Technology for Large-Span Tied-Arch Bridge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Tied-arch bridges are usually constructed using the beam first and arch later method, which enjoys the advantages of a short construction period and ease with which quality control can be achieved. However, when tied-arch ... -
Innovative Construction Method for Oversized Excavations with Bipartition Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents an innovative construction method with bipartition walls (BPW), which was developed to reduce the excavation-induced adverse impact on the supporting structures and surrounding environment in oversized ... -
Recommendations on Intelligent Compaction Parameters for Asphalt Resurfacing Quality Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Intelligent compaction (IC) technology provides an innovative way for continuously and instantaneously evaluating asphalt compaction quality. However, there is a lack of well-accepted standard as to what IC parameters ... -
3D-Based Crane Evaluation System for Mobile Crane Operation Selection on Modular-Based Heavy Construction Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Modular-based heavy industrial projects, which involve a large number of lifts on congested and/or dynamic site layouts, require not only the design and selection of efficient mobile crane operations but also rapid and ... -
Managing Cultural Diversity at U.S. Construction Sites: Hispanic Workers’ Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Communication on construction sites is crucial for improving overall construction performance. Cultural barriers influence the clarity of communication between construction supervisors and Hispanic workers on U.S. construction ... -
M-PERT: Manual Project-Duration Estimation Technique for Teaching Scheduling Basics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) has become a classic project management tool for estimating project duration when the activities have uncertain durations. However, despite its simplicity and widespread ... -
