Online Monitoring and Implementation of Commitment Management Performance and Its Impact on Project Planning in Four Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The construction sector has not evolved with respect to the productivity of its processes and has not grown as expected in the last 50 years. Therefore, the Last Planner System (LPS) was created, which is based on ... -
Situated Learning: How Interactions with Supervisors Shape Construction Apprentices’ Safety Learning and Practice
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper presents the results of the first stage of a research project focused upon supervisor–apprentice communication in the construction industry and the influence that this communication has on apprentices’ health, ... -
BIM-Based Building Geometric Modeling and Automatic Generative Design for Sustainable Offsite Construction
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Offsite construction is gaining attention due to government policies promoting automation and productivity. Therefore, understanding the impact of building design on construction cost and the carbon footprint associated ... -
Feasibility Study of Using Nebulizer-Retrofitted UAVs at Construction Projects: The Case Study of Residential Jobsites in Utah
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Increased heat stress and air pollution are two major causes of health issues and productivity loss in the construction industry. This will be exacerbated by global warming and an increased possibility of extreme weather ... -
Methodology for Extended Reality–Enabled Experimental Research in Construction Engineering and Management
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Extended reality (XR) technologies are increasingly being used as a novel research instrument to facilitate scientific inquires in the construction engineering and management (CEM) domain. By allowing humans to interact ... -
Assessing Project Contingency Reserves with the Expected Cost Overrun Risk Measure
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)This paper proposes a coherent risk measure to assess project cost overrun contingency reserves: the project expected cost overrun (ECO). It is shown that the traditional project cost-percentile metric does not qualify as ... -
Major Factors Affecting Construction Waste Management in
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The construction industry has grown significantly to fulfill the expanding need -
Implementing a Choosing-by-Advantages Decision-Making Method to Evaluate the Critical Success Factors of Mass-Timber Building Materials in the US
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Construction projects often involve numerous decision-making activities during the design and operation phases. The decision-making process in the construction industry sometimes does not follow an organized manner, and ... -
TableGraph: An Image Segmentation–Based Table Knowledge Interpretation Model for Civil and Construction Inspection Documentation
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)There are many manuals and codes to normalize each procedure in civil and construction engineering projects. Data tables in the codes offer various references and are playing a more and more valuable role in knowledge ... -
Human Error Analysis for Hydraulic Engineering: Comprehensive System to Reveal Accident Evolution Process with Text Knowledge
(ASCE, 2022/07/12)Many human errors occur in hydraulic engineering construction, and these errors may lead to huge financial losses. A systematic and comprehensive accident analysis is required to reduce the probability of human error. Human ... -
Effects of Different Face-Saving Concerns on the Escalation of Commitment between State-Owned and Private Investors in PPP Projects
(ASCE, 2022/07/09)In public–private partnership (PPP) projects, state-owned investors, with their administrative attributes, tend to be more concerned with their own face-saving (self-face) concerns, whereas private investors that partner ... -
Mitigating Common Method Bias in Construction Engineering and Management Research
(ASCE, 2022/07/05)The importance of reliability in conducting empirical research has been emphasized by construction engineering and management (CEM) scholars. Survey data commonly are used in empirical CEM studies. However, the use of such ... -
Case Study of Field Application of Prefabricated Anchoring Frame Beam Structure in Slope Supporting Projects
(ASCE, 2022/07/15)The method of onsite pouring is mostly adopted in current construction of traditional frame beam (TFB) structures, bringing adverse effects like poor supporting timeliness, low concrete quality, hard-coordinated deformation, ... -
Z-Number-Based Quantitative Expression of Activity Information in Uncertain Project Scheduling
(ASCE, 2022/07/15)Uncertainty is the general state of modern project scheduling, and fuzzy numbers are the main theme to resolve uncertain project scheduling problems. Traditional fuzzy numbers can represent uncertain information values of ... -
Coupling Analysis of Tunnel Construction Risk in Complex Geology and Construction Factors
(ASCE, 2022/07/14)Generally, multiple risk factors are involved in tunnel construction accidents. Therefore, it is of particular importance to evaluate the mechanisms of multifactor risks and measure coupling risks in tunnel construction ... -
Construction Activity Classification Based on Vibration Monitoring Data: A Supervised Deep-Learning Approach with Time Series RandAugment
(ASCE, 2022/07/08)Although vibration monitoring systems have been widely implemented on construction sites, most monitoring data cannot be efficiently used to establish an empirical vibration model because the information of the corresponding ... -
Quantifying Building Construction and Demolition Waste Using Permit Data
(ASCE, 2022/07/09)Construction and demolition (C&D) waste generated from construction projects impacts the environment if not managed properly; appropriate C&D waste management is therefore necessary. The first step in this practice ... -
Construction-Accident Narrative Classification Using Shallow and Deep Learning
