A Coupled Genetic Programming Monte Carlo Simulation–Based Model for Cost Overrun Prediction of Thermal Power Plant Projects
(ASCE, 2022/06/09)Globally, power projects are prone to cost overrun projects. Within the body of knowledge, previous studies have paid less attention to predicting the cost overruns to assist contingency cost planning. Particularly, in ... -
The Construction Materials Conundrum: Practical Solutions to Address Integrated Supply Chain Complexities
(ASCE, 2022/06/03)As projects evolve into complex and specialized temporary initiatives, accountability shortfalls in material flow are a major reason for schedule and cost overruns in construction. To date, researchers and practitioners ... -
Novel Application of Micro-Nanobubble Water for Recycling Waste Foundry Sand: Toward Green Concrete
(ASCE, 2022/07/14)Waste foundry sand (WFS) is one of the largest industrial solid waste in the world. WFS can be an excellent alternative to make green concrete, but the properties of this type of concrete have always been a controversial ... -
Developing a BIM GIS–Integrated Method for Urban Underground Piping Management in China: A Case Study
(ASCE, 2022/06/29)Underground piping remains one of the key uncertain infrastructures in urban development. Because they are buried underground without a clear vision, the management of the underground piping system is more complicated than ... -
Benchmarking Human versus Robot Performance in Emergency Structural Inspection
(ASCE, 2022/06/02)Human–robot collaboration (HRC) has gained significant momentum in various civil engineering applications. A representative application is robot-assisted emergency structural inspection, i.e., a human–robot partnered ... -
How International Construction Arbitrators Make Their Decisions: Status of Commercial Norms and International Construction Law
(ASCE, 2022/06/17)International construction arbitration is the main dispute resolution technique for international construction projects. The number of international construction arbitrations has significantly increased during the last ... -
Forecasting Construction Project Performance with Momentum Using Singularity Functions in LPS
(ASCE, 2022/05/23)Construction planning and control are crucial for project success. The last planner system (LPS) presents a proactive approach to plan and control production, designed to increase reliability and enhance the make-ready ... -
VR–MOCAP-Enabled Ergonomic Risk Assessment of Workstation Prototypes in Offsite Construction
(ASCE, 2022/05/23)Workers in offsite construction facilities are often exposed to repetitive motion and awkward body postures that are associated with the risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders despite the use of automated ... -
A Strategy for Building Design Quality Improvement through BIM Capability Analysis
(ASCE, 2022/05/26)Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been proven to bring noticeable benefits to the lifecycle of buildings. Thus, construction organizations have increasingly leveraged BIM in their projects. Even though BIM benefits ... -
Improved Workflow for Precast Element Design Based on BIM and Lean Construction
(ASCE, 2022/05/23)Prefabricated concrete has substantial merits regarding a cleaner environment and less rework. However, precast concrete design suffers from an inefficient workflow. In this research, a new workflow is proposed by combining ... -
Planning Construction Projects in Deep Uncertainty: A Data-Driven Uncertainty Analysis Approach
(ASCE, 2022/05/17)Construction planning is significantly affected by many uncertain factors derived from construction tasks, the environments, resources, technologies, personnel, and more. Uncertainty analysis approaches are thus critical ... -
The Impact of Offsite Construction on the Workforce: Required Skillset and Prioritization of Training Needs
(ASCE, 2022/05/09)Offsite construction has showed great potential in addressing many of the industry’s problems. While multiple research efforts have been directed at examining different offsite construction aspects, few studies investigated ... -
Comparing Qualitative Analysis Techniques for Construction Engineering and Management Research: The Case of Arctic Water Infrastructure
(ASCE, 2022/05/13)Construction is a dynamic sociotechnical process, consisting of ongoing interdependencies between people and the built environment. Accordingly, finding solutions to construction challenges when they arise requires ... -
Best Practices for Case Studies in Construction Engineering and Management Research
(ASCE, 2022/05/18)Construction engineering and management research faces a fundamental dilemma: projects are designed and built just once. Case studies, a qualitative research method, are an appealing choice that is suited to this unique ... -
A Proactive Risk Assessment Framework to Maximize Schedule Benefits of Modularization in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2022/04/27)Various studies developed models and decision support tools to assess the feasibility and optimize the use of modularization. However, none has explored the schedule benefits of modular construction. This paper fills this ... -
Using Bayesian Networks for Selecting Risk-Response Strategies in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2022/05/26)Construction projects are known as high-risk projects due to their complex and dynamic nature. The probability of success of construction projects is increased with efficient management of key risks. Understanding and ... -
Vision and Trajectory–Based Dynamic Collision Prewarning Mechanism for Tower Cranes
(ASCE, 2022/05/11)Tower cranes are very common at construction sites. As workers focus most of their attention on their own tasks, their ability to detect changes in the surrounding environment is reduced, and it is difficult to avoid the ... -
