Direction for Generating Interest for Design for Construction Worker Safety—A Delphi Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Decisions made prior to construction impact the safety of construction workers. Past research has shown that there is a link between design decisions and fatalities. Prevention through Design (PtD) is a concept that attempts ... -
Introduction to Techniques for Resolving Project Performance Contradictions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Improving project performance has always been emphasized in construction projects. When project objectives contradict, the project manager must apply mitigating or conflict resolution strategies to remove or minimize the ... -
Testing the Value of 4D Visualizations for Enhancing Mindfulness in Utility Reconstruction Works
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper reports on an ethnographic-action research study of four-dimensional (4D) based coordination in three utility reconstruction projects. This research shows that implementation of 4D models in planning meetings ... -
Are Contract Disputes Predictable?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Are some construction projects more prone to contract disputes than others? If so, can these projects be identified before construction begins? This paper describes research conducted with the CII Dispute Prevention and ... -
Applying a Fuzzy Consensus Scheme to Enhance the Group Decision Making of a Building Envelope Design Team
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study applies a fuzzy consensus scheme integrated with a multicriteria decision making method and fuzzy set theory to mitigate -
Automatic Registration of Mobile LiDAR Data Using High-Reflectivity Traffic Signs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is currently one of the most used instruments in road inspections to collect geometric and radiometric data. Different strips of the same area are common and bring problems in ... -
Real-Time Position Measurement Integrated with CAD: Technologies and Their Protocols
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The consortium for advanced positioning system (CAPS) was formed in December 1992. The purpose of CAPS is to assist the Civil Engineering Research Foundation (CERF) with a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRDA). ... -
Opportunities for Value Extraction Projects in Highway Rights-of-Way and Development of Feasibility Assessment Tool
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)State departments of transportation (DOTs) have been trying to identify alternative and innovative sources of revenue and cost savings. One potential solution to funding issues that has gained recent attention is value ... -
Development and Comparative Analysis of Construction Industry Labor Productivity Metrics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Construction industry labor productivity is an important metric that provides feedback about industry level trends and improvements. However, labor productivity for the construction industry has historically been elusive ... -
Closure to “State of Practice of Building Information Modeling in the Electrical Construction Industry” by Awad S. Hanna, Michael Yeutter, and Diane G. Aoun

The Real Option Value of Renegotiation in Public–Private Partnerships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Public–private partnerships (PPP) are contracts with a long-lasting period, huge relationship-specific investment, and great uncertainties. In many PPP projects, it is difficult or even impossible to write a complete ... -
Developing and Optimizing Context-Specific Fuzzy Inference System-Based Construction Labor Productivity Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Construction labor productivity (CLP) is affected by numerous context-sensitive influencing variables made up of subjective and objective factors, practices, and work sampling proportions (WSPs), which cause complex ... -
Constructability Information Classification Scheme
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)This paper discusses the development and testing of a generic model that classifies constructability information for reinforced-concrete structural elements. It identifies decisions and factors affecting constructability ... -
Cost Performance as a Stochastic Process: EAC Projection by Markov Chain Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Earned value analysis (EVA) has been widely used in the construction industry for cost prediction at completion. The EVA’s accuracy of early cost projections is low since the method assumes static cost performance during ... -
Construction Noise Management Using Active Noise Control Techniques
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In recent years, noise-related disputes caused by construction equipment have increased, resulting in delays and cost overruns in the construction process. To deal with this challenging issue, passive noise control methods ... -
Closure to “The Contractor‐Subcontractor Relationship: The Subcontractor's View” by Jimmie Hinze and Andrew Tracey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Slip Chart–Inspired Project Schedule Diagramming: Origins, Buffers, and Extension to Linear Schedules
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Linear schedules continue to hold significant potential for planning and control in construction project management, where work progress of activities is often repetitive in nature. However, linear schedules are limited ... -
Enhancing Design Management by Partnering in Delivery of International EPC Projects: Evidence from Chinese Construction Companies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) approach has been increasingly adopted in competitive international markets, in which design management is critical to project performances. Existing studies have embraced a ... -
Risk Paths in International Construction Projects: Case Study from Chinese Contractors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Contracting in overseas construction markets involves not only the typical risks at home, but also the complex and diverse risks peculiar to international transactions. In addition, international construction project risks ...
