DS^2: Drilled Shaft Decision Support System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Due to many uncontrollable and often unpredictable factors such as ground-water inflow rate, equipment availability and cost, weather, and various geological details, drilled shaft construction can become highly complex. ... -
Investigating the Role of Lean Practices in Enabling BIM Adoption: Evidence from Two Indian Cases
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Construction projects continue to be plagued by cost and time overruns, primarily due to poor information-sharing between project participants. Building information modeling (BIM) has emerged as a digital platform through ... -
Investigating the Adequacy of Horizontal Lifeline System Design through Case Studies from Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Horizontal lifeline system (HLLS) is one of the most widely used fall arrest systems for mitigating the risk of work-at-height in the construction and building industry. A HLLS must ensure the maximum arrest load created ... -
Quick Abnormal-Bid-Detection Method for Construction Contract Auctions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Noncompetitive bids have recently become a major concern in both public and private sector construction contract auctions. Consequently, several models have been developed to help identify bidders potentially involved in ... -
Impact of I/D Contracts Used for Expediting Michigan’s Road Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The Michigan DOT (MDOT) has been using monetary incentive/disincentive (I/D) payments/penalties to accelerate highway construction work. This paper examines whether the I/D for expediting construction captures the true ... -
Reform Agenda of Chinese Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)For many years the construction industry in China has been controlled by the government and used to support China's centrally planned economy. Most construction projects have been financed by the government, designed by ... -
