Critical Project Impact Factors for Federal Capital Facility Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The construction industry is characterized by its fragmented nature, which introduces numerous uncertainties and challenges for project management. Analyzing project impact factors is crucial for federal agencies to mitigate ... -
Quantifying the Impact of Technology Utilization on Schedule and Cost Performance in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)There has been a plethora of research on the performance of schedule and cost in construction projects. However, current research falls short in investigating the combined contribution of different construction technologies ... -
Diverse Forms of Greed and Self-Interest That Contribute to Corruption among Construction Stakeholders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The factors contributing to corruption within the construction sector have yet to be associated with the phenomenon of greed—the pursuit of self-interest and a widely recognized and extensively studied primary catalyst for ... -
Online Assessment of Spontaneous Mental Fatigue in Construction Workers Considering Data Quality: Improved Online Sequential Extreme Learning Machine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Biological data-based methods for monitoring workers’ mental fatigue have become widely adopted in recent years. However, few have concentrated on the online monitoring and assessment of mental fatigue considering the ... -
An Online Housing Reputation Assessment Framework Based on Text Mining and Visualization Technologies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Learning from online comments is essential for enhancing understanding and improving online housing reputation (OHR). However, two significant issues require attention. First, analyzing online comments for reputation ... -
Turning a Blind Eye: Ignoring Modern Slavery in the Race to Construction Project Completion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Modern slavery is an illegal and unethical phenomenon affecting more than 40 million victims worldwide, with many of them employed in construction. This article aims to investigate why modern slavery continues to exist on ... -
Framework for Promoting Women’s Career Development across Career Stages in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Despite efforts to promote gender diversity, the construction industry in Australia remains one of the most male-dominated industries. Women, compared to their male counterparts, progress more slowly and encounter major ... -
Estimating Cost of Bridge Closure for Bridge Network Rehabilitation Priorities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Bridge network maintenance and rehabilitation activities are crucial to prevent bridge failure from human-made and natural hazards such as deterioration, overload, collision, fire, flooding, and earthquake. Under a limited ... -
Fear Arousal Drives the Renewal of Active Avoidance of Hazards in Construction Sites: Evidence from an Animal Behavior Experiment in Mice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)There is emerging evidence that negative emotions can be leveraged to help construction workers recognize hazards, with fear being closely associated with avoidance behavior among negative emotions. Previous research has ... -
Measuring Activity-Level Construction Productivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Activity-level productivity measurement often overlooks losses due to poor construction flows—that is, the flows of workers, materials, and equipment. Using data from 138 locations and 33 crews, correlation and regression ... -
Reframing Sustainability Rating Systems to Emphasize Interconnected Benefits Increases Sustainable Design Practices among Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Engineering design and construction teams commonly use decision tools, such as rating systems, to manage the complexity of infrastructure projects. However, these systems often focus predominantly on environmental dimensions, ... -
Implementing Effective Knowledge Management in International Construction Projects by Eliminating Knowledge Hiding
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Effective knowledge management (KM) and knowledge sharing (KS) are critical for the success of international construction projects (ICPs), but they are often hindered by knowledge-hiding (KH) behavior. This study examines ... -
Risk Assessment of the Challenges in the Adaptive Reuse of Historic Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)To create a resilient environment, adaptive reuse of old buildings is becoming rampant through renovation, restoration, or refurbishment. Although such efforts bring advantages by preserving heritage assets while accommodating ... -
