Customer Satisfaction in Home Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)To successfully compete in the long term, a company must be sure current customers are satisfied. Providing superior quality and keeping customers satisfied are rapidly becoming the ways companies differentiate themselves ... -
Risk Assessment for Construction Joint Ventures in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The construction industry in China is developing toward the international procurement practice, and such development has attracted many foreign firms into the Chinese construction market through the formation of Sino-foreign ... -
VIRCON: Interactive System for Teaching Construction Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The focus in this paper is on a system, developed by the writers, called VIRCON (short for VIRtual CONstruction), in which the traditional construction planning is combined with 3D/4D models of the project. To facilitate ... -
Construction Delay Computation Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Delay is one of the most common problems in the construction industry. This paper presents a method for computing activity delays and assessing their contributions to project delay. The method consists of a set of equations, ... -
Dust Suppression Using Truck-Mounted Water Spray System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The control of dust on construction sites is an issue of concern of many communities that experience a high level of construction activity. Dust suppression typically involves using large water trucks to spray haul roads, ... -
Status of Roller Mountable Microwave Asphalt Pavement Density Sensor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper describes the status of development and initial field test results of an innovative roller-mountable asphalt pavement density sensor. This concept measures the density of asphalt in real time using a differential ... -
Construction Productivity Improvement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Construction productivity has been on the decline in the last decade. The results are presented on a survey of the Engineering News‐Record 400 largest contractors to obtain their views on where productivity improvements ... -
Case-Based Reasoning Approach in Bid Decision Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Since contractors' bidding behaviors are affected by numerous factors related both to the specific features of the project and dynamically changed situations, bidding decision problems are highly unstructured. No clear ... -
Resource Scheduling Using Neural Dynamics Model of Adeli and Park
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents a mathematical model for resource scheduling considering project scheduling characteristics generally ignored in prior research, including precedence relationships, multiple crew-strategies, and time ... -
Optimizing Resource Utilization for Repetitive Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Optimizing resource utilization can lead to significant reduction in the duration and cost of repetitive construction projects such as highways, high-rise buildings, and housing projects. This can be achieved by identifying ... -
Dynamic Planning and Control Methodology for Design/Build Fast-Track Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)A dynamic planning and control methodology is developed by integrating the applications of axiomatic design concepts, concurrent engineering concepts, the graphical evaluation and review technique (GERT), and the system ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000) -
Simplifying Simulation Modeling through Integration with 3D CAD
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper discusses an evolutionary approach for simplifying the process of building and experimenting with computer simulation models of heavy earthmoving construction operations. Simulation models are automatically ... -
Model for Evaluating Networks under Correlated Uncertainty—NETCOR
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Construction activities are often influenced by factors such as weather, labor, and site conditions. When several activities are influenced by the same factor, their durations may be correlated. If many activities along a ... -
Application Example for Evaluating Networks Considering Correlation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Current approaches to network scheduling do not consider the correlation between activity durations. When activity durations are correlated, the variability of path and project durations may be increased. High variability ... -
Issues for Construction of 300-mm Fab
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The cost of constructing and tooling a semiconductor facility, which is currently more than $1 billion, is expected to double by the year 2000, driving semiconductor chip manufacturers to adopt strategies to minimize cost ...
