Empirical Modeling for Conflict Causes and Contractual Relationships in Construction Projects
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)Conflicts are an inevitable aspect of human interactions that can affect project cost and schedule, and the parties’ relationships. Although the traditional mindset regards conflict as a negative event, there is a lack of ... -
An Exploratory Study to Identify Key Stressors of Ethnic Minority Workers in the Construction Industry
(ASCE, 2022-03-09)Construction is a dangerous industry for both individuals and organizations; however, construction workers are more likely to die from suicide than from falling from a height due to mental health issues. A shortage of ... -
Applications of Smart Technologies in Construction Project Management
(ASCE, 2022-02-14)The construction industry has been influenced considerably by smart technologies in the last decade, ushered in by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Smart technologies display the potential to improve the performance of ... -
Improving Public–Private Partnerships for Renewable Electricity Infrastructure in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries
(ASCE, 2022-02-25)Renewable electricity infrastructure is a key technical strategy for achieving energy access for all people. In addition, the construction of renewable electricity infrastructure is urgently needed to aid in the fight ... -
Coupling Relationship between Capabilities and Benefits of Lean Construction for Precast Buildings from a Multivariable Moderation Perspective
(ASCE, 2022-02-24)The capabilities (e.g., basic capabilities, professional capabilities, and lean consciousness of workers) and benefits (e.g., time, economy, and quality benefits) of lean construction in some precast building ... -
Forecasting Project Duration in the Face of Disruptive Events: A Resource-Based Approach
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)Disruptive events are the main source of delays in projects. A key task for construction managers is to revise the project schedule plan based on time delays caused by these events. Consequently, project management research ... -
Fast-PGMED: Fast and Dense Elevation Determination for Earthwork Using Drone and Deep Learning
(ASCE, 2022-02-09)This paper presents a time- and cost-effective elevation determination method for earthwork operations using ready-to-fly imaging drones and deep learning technologies. The proposed method is named the fast pixel grid/group ... -
Interorganizational Sponsor Networks in Road and Social Infrastructure PPP Equity Markets
(ASCE, 2022-02-14)Although researchers have studied public-private partnership (PPP) development processes for several decades, the extant literature provides little evidence of how special purpose vehicles (SPVs) are formed and how PPP ... -
Automated Identification of Vagueness in the <i>FIDIC Silver Book</i> Conditions of Contract
(ASCE, 2022-01-31)Contract conditions are crucial as they outline an agreement between different parties. The semantic terms in contract conditions need to be precisely designated. Where these conditions contain vague meanings, the ... -
Auditing Construction Cost from an In-Process Perspective Based on a Bayesian Predictive Model
(ASCE, 2022-01-25)The traditional audit process in construction cost control usually occurs passively at the end of a project life cycle. This calls for a predictive model that provides a framework assembling essential information and ... -
Developing a Model for Assessing Project Completion Time Reliability during Construction Using Time-Dependent Reliability Theory
(ASCE, 2022-01-31)The reliability of a project completion time projection (PCT) is of significant concern to project managers, because it profoundly affects how a project is executed. Traditionally, such reliability has been treated as a ... -
A Governance Framework for the Sustainable Delivery of Megaprojects: The Interaction of Megaproject Citizenship Behavior and Contracts
(ASCE, 2022-01-27)Compared with the performance dilemma, how to deliver a megaproject following the principle of sustainability is a more intractable problem. For the sustainable delivery of megaprojects (SDM), contracts and megaproject ... -
Hybrid GA-MANFIS Model for Organizational Competencies and Performance in Construction
(ASCE, 2022-01-24)The majority of competency and performance modeling methods available in the literature are deterministic conceptual, statistical, and/or regression models that cannot capture the subjective uncertainty, complex, and ... -
Construction Workers’ Representativeness Heuristic in Decision Making: The Impact of Demographic Factors
(ASCE, 2022-01-31)A representativeness heuristic (RH) refers to a shortcut in decision making, one or two subdimensions of which have been found to impact construction workers’ unsafe behaviors prominently. To reduce workers’ reliance on ... -
Incentive Mechanism and Value-Added in PPP Projects Considering Financial Institutions’ Early Intervention
(ASCE, 2022-01-22)In public-private partnership (PPP) projects, as the largest funds provider, financial institutions only supervise the cash flow in the project’s implementation stage. Since financial institutions are not involved in the ... -
Effective Modeling for Construction Activities of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Using Artificial Neural Network
(ASCE, 2021-12-21)Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) technology is broadly adopted in the construction industry. However, such technology tends to promisingly be implemented only in countries with developed economies, leaving behind countries ... -
Application of Takt and Kanban to Modular Wind Turbine Construction
(ASCE, 2021-12-09)This study focuses on the applicability of Takt planning in combination with Kanban, plan-do-check-act (PDCA)/Deming cycle, and visual management to modular offshore wind turbine construction. The modular offshore wind ... -
Risk-Sensitive Competitive Bidding Model and Impact of Risk Aversion and Cost Uncertainty on Optimum Bid
(ASCE, 2021-12-20)A decision analysis model is presented that can be used by a contractor to determine the optimum lump-sum bid that maximizes expected utility for an upcoming job. Required inputs include the contractor’s utility curve, the ... -
Quantifying the Effect of Mental Stress on Physical Stress for Construction Tasks
(ASCE, 2021-12-17)Because of labor-intensive and physically demanding tasks, construction workers are known to be at a higher risk of developing physical fatigue. Recent studies have shown that construction workers are also often exposed ... -
