Fall Protection Analysis for Workers on Residential Roofs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Safety during residential roof construction and repair activities is of significant concern since many injuries occur, especially as a result of falls. The Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Hawaii ... -
Lane Rental—Innovative Way to Reduce Road Construction Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In recent years the public has faced a substantial increase in the number of transportation projects that are being constructed in urban areas under heavy traffic. This type of construction is causing the public major ... -
Optimization Modeling for Sewer Network Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Due to their low visibility, sanitary sewers' condition assessment and rehabilitation are frequently neglected until a catastrophic failure occurs. Neglecting regular maintenance of these underground utilities adds to ... -
Claims Analysis and Computer Reasoning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Contract dispute resolution is an area in which design and construction professionals often require legal advice. Even though construction disputes are frequent and their resolution difficult, many times legal advice is ... -
Modeling and Analysis of Aggregate Production Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper presents a special purpose simulation tool developed for the aggregate processing industry called CRUISER. Special purpose tools offer an alternative to general purpose simulators, which are generally difficult ... -
Information Management to Integrate Cost and Schedule for Civil Engineering Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A construction information classification system (CICS) is useful for controlling a project with consistency in information management during construction. However the existing CICSs, including Masterformat, put the emphasis ... -
Quantity Estimating of Building with Logarithm-Neuron Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Cost estimating is a computational process that attempts to predict the final cost of a future project even though not all of the parameters are known when the cost estimate is prepared. Artificial neural networks are a ... -
Incentive/Disincentive Contracts: Perceptions of Owners and Contractors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Incentive/disincentive (I/D) contracting has developed from basic cost- and profit-sharing arrangements between an owner and a contractor. To motivate the contractor to put in an extra effort to realize one or more project ... -
Quality Improvement in Egypt: Methodology and Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper describes a method of obtaining construction managers' consensus opinion on factors to improve quality on their projects. It also explains the details and results of the application that was carried out in one ... -
Drywall Joint Finishing: Productivity and Ergonomics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Gypsum drywall panels are used extensively for wall cladding and structural fireproofing. Most interior building walls are of sufficient length and width to require at least two panels of drywall for complete coverage. ... -
INNOVATIONS IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION: TWELFTH PEURIFOY LECTURE, 1997
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper is a summary of the remarks made by the writer for the 1997 ASCE Peurifoy Construction Research Award Lecture, October 6, 1997, Minneapolis, Minn. The paper discusses the traditional highway construction process ... -
Evaluation and Competitive Tendering of BOT Power Plant Project in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The tremendous economic growth in China has resulted in an immense demand for basic infrastructure like roads, ports, and power generation facilities. There are thus many investment opportunities for foreign investors. At ... -
Uncertainty and Home Builders' Adoption of Technological Innovations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)An empirical investigation pertaining to the adoption of technological innovations by small- and medium-sized home building firms was conducted by multiple regression analysis of data collected from interviewing over 100 ... -
Comparison of Delay Analysis Methodologies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)During a construction project, delays may result from many circumstances. Delays may be caused by the owner, the contractor, by acts of God, or a third party. They may occur early or late in the job, alone or with other ... -
Construction Materials Engineer, a Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Construction materials engineering is a long-time discipline of civil engineering which has gained definition and recognition in recent decades due to increased demands placed on the construction materials engineer. This ... -
Graphic-Based Human-Machine Interface for Construction Manipulator Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Large-scale construction manipulators are important to productivity and safety on the construction site. Traditionally, manipulators are controlled by an operator, who pulls and pushes levers, which open and close hydraulic ... -
