Effects of Delay Times on Production Rates in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Factors that can be fairly easily identified and modified and can lead to significant improvements in production rates for activities in construction are considered in this paper. These factors are divided into four work ... -
Work-Health and Safety-Risk Perceptions of Construction-Industry Stakeholders Using Photograph-Based Q Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Work health and safety (WHS) on construction sites can be influenced by decisions made upstream from the construction stage. The effectiveness of WHS risk management relies on decision makers’ ability to decide appropriate ... -
Probabilistic Risk Assessment Methodology of Exterior Surfaces Defacement Caused by Algae Growth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper presents the development of a risk assessment methodology applicable to the analysis of exterior surfaces defacement from algae growth. The specific case of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) ... -
Discussion of “Pricing Construction Risk: Fuzzy Set Application” by Osama Moselhi
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995) -
Closure to “Areas of Application for 3D and 4D Models on Construction Projects” by Timo Hartmann, Ju Gao, and Martin Fischer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010) -
Biophilic Construction Site Model: Enhancing the Motivational and Humanistic Value of the Green Construction Site
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)85% of a construction worker’s work-day is spent on the construction site. This means that a large part of a worker’s health and wellbeing could depend on the construction site and its environs. Construction work, which ... -
Spanning Cultural and Geographic Barriers with Knowledge Pipelines in Multinational Communities of Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Multinational construction and engineering companies are increasingly adopting communities of practice (COPs), as a means to encourage geographically dispersed and culturally diverse professionals to share knowledge on a ... -
Development of a Job-Stress Model for Construction Professionals in South Africa and Hong Kong
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The construction industry is a stressful working environment. Tasks that are simultaneously high in job demand while low in job control and job support generally cause the most stress. This paper examines and compares the ... -
Closure to “Prospects for No-Dig Technology in Hong Kong Construction Industry” by S. H. Pau, K. W. Chau, and W. G. Wong

Cognitive Workload Demands Using 2D and 3D Spatial Engineering Information Formats
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Construction project performance is significantly reliant on the effective communication of the project’s design to the end construction worker. Spatial design is frequently represented in two-dimensional (2D) drawings of ... -
Discussion of “Benefits of Constructability on Construction Projects” by George Jergeas and John Van der Put

Integrated Urban-Construction Planning Framework for Slum Upgrading Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Slums are areas of population concentrations developed in the absence of physical planning and lack access to life essentials. Slums represent major national challenges in countries where they exist, especially developing ... -
Selection of Construction Methods for Construction Projects: A Knowledge Problem
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Appropriate selection of construction methods used in the execution of a project is a decisive factor for its development and the achievement of the desired results. In many cases, this process is undertaken without suitable ... -
Optimizing Earthmoving Job Planning Based on Evaluation of Temporary Haul Road Networks Design for Mass Earthworks Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As a critical component of planning mass earthworks projects, designing effective haul road networks is conducive to delivering the project on time and under budget. The research reported in this paper proposes a grid-based ... -
Formalized Approach to Discretize a Continuous Plant in Construction Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The lack of the expertise and resources, the unavailability of sufficient and complete operations data, and the absence of relevant site information present obstacles to applying combined simulation modeling in practice. ... -
Discussion of “Prospects for No-Dig Technology in Hong Kong Construction Industry” by Lawrence W. C. Lai, K. W. Chau, and Daniel C. W. Ho

Economic Sustainability of DBO Water Based on Wastewater Projects in the U.S.: Three Case Studies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As public utility owners face increased budget constraints and greater expectations, alternative project delivery methods will increasingly be used to fast track projects, reduce costs, promote innovation, and ensure proper ... -
Effects of the Last Planner System on Social Networks among Construction Trade Crews
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Lean system thinking concerning the mechanics of construction production systems suggests that the Last Planner System (LPS) improves workflow by creating pull flow and by filtering work packages for maturity. However, ...
