Relationship-Quality Judgment Model for Construction Project Procurement: A Conjoint Measurement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Relationship quality as a measure of working relationships in construction has been associated with four general attributes of trust, commitment, teamwork, and performance satisfaction. These attributes have been previously ... -
Early-Termination Compensation in Public–Private Partnership Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have been widely applied around the world in the provision of public works and services. Although a large number of PPP projects in different sectors have been successfully developed with ... -
Case Study of BIM and Cloud–Enabled Real-Time RFID Indoor Localization for Construction Management Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In the field of construction, indoor localization of mobile construction resources remains a universal challenge. Although discussions have focused on the tracking accuracy and affordability of indoor localization technologies, ... -
Discussion of “The Contractor‐Subcontractor Relationship: The Subcontractor's View” by C. E. Haltenhoff
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Weather-Delay Simulation Model Based on Vertical Weather Profile for High-Rise Building Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Severe weather can adversely affect the scheduling of construction projects. It is very important to be able to estimate the delay that would result from such severe weather because construction contracts generally ... -
Impacts of the Social Subcontract and Last Planner System Interventions on the Trade-Crew Workflows of Multistory Residential Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Despite empirical evidence of the effects of the Last Planner System. (LPS), the mechanisms by which it works are less well understood. Its strengthening of the social networks within construction projects implies the ... -
Slip Chart–Inspired Project Schedule Diagramming: Links, Extension to Network Schedules, and Unification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Schedule delays are an unfortunate prevalent occurrence in the construction industry. To clearly visualize, track, and mitigate them, graphical and analytical tools are needed. But traditional bar charts do not clearly ... -
Lessons Learned from Applying the Individuals Control Charts to Monitoring Autocorrelated Project Performance Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The well-known earned value technique measures and evaluates project performance. It uncovers schedule and cost deviations from the baseline plan. However, it is not established to determine acceptable levels of deviations ... -
Settlement of Construction Jurisdictional Disputes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1984)Jurisdictional disputes in the construction industry have long been a source of lost productivity. While dispute causes have been documented else‐where, the mechanisms for resolving disputes are explored here. Two alternatives ... -
Discussion of “The Contractor-Subcontractor Relationship: The Subcontractor's View” by Robert F. Borg
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Hazardous Proximity Zone Design for Heavy Construction Excavation Equipment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The construction industry continues to be among the leading industries for workplace fatalities in the United States. After experiencing 824 fatal injuries in 2013, the construction industry ranks as one of the most dangerous ... -
Investigating Employee Turnover in the Construction Industry: A Psychological Contract Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Employee turnover has long been, and will continue to be, a significant concern in the construction industry. Organizations that can retain skilled employees have a stronger competitive advantage. In two independent studies ... -
Discussion of “Choosing Appropriate Construction Contracting Method” by Joseph P. Connolly
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Discrete Event Simulation Analysis of Product and Process Platforms: A Bridge Construction Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Product and process platforms have been promoted as possible enablers of increased productivity in civil engineering. However, such platforms are traditionally applied in mass manufacturing industries where production ... -
Repetitive Scheduling Method: Requirements, Modeling, and Implementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Projects with repeating activities, such as multistory buildings and highways, present unique scheduling challenges. This paper presents the necessary requirements that scheduling systems should address to meet the needs ... -
A Computational Method for Estimating Travel Frequencies in Site Layout Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Optimizing the layout of facilities on a construction site to minimize the material handling costs has been widely investigated in the literature. An integral part of the objective function utilized in the previously ... -
Contractual Governance: Effects of Risk Allocation on Contractors’ Cooperative Behavior in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)When designing contracts in practice, project owners often allocate excessive risks to contractors. Although previous studies have suggested that such improper risk allocation may harm the relationship between the owner ... -
Quantitative Assessment of Budget Sufficiency and Resource Utilization for Resource-Constrained Project Schedules
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Assessment of budget sufficiency and resource utilization for a resource-constrained project schedule is crucial to ensure practical feasibility of the schedule and successful delivery of a construction project. This paper ... -
Effect of Contract Completeness on Contractors’ Opportunistic Behavior and the Moderating Role of Interdependence
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The characteristics of construction projects—e.g., one-off, high complexity, information asymmetry, and asset specificity—have led to a very common phenomenon of opportunism. In this paper, a questionnaire based on a sample ... -
