(ASCE, 2021-12-01)The efficient operation of trailing suction hopper dredgers can reduce equipment operation time and energy consumption, accelerate overall construction, reduce workload and material resource usage, and lower construction ... -
Using Advanced Statistical Methods to Identify the Drivers of Knowledge Sharing Intention among Construction Workers
(ASCE, 2021-12-07)Front-line construction workers possess the hands-on knowledge required to execute projects. However, insufficient research has been conducted on the drivers of workers’ behavior with respect to knowledge sharing. This ... -
Construction Readiness for Highway Projects: Key Decision Criteria
(ASCE, 2021-11-25)The impacts of highway construction delays are not limited to the construction industry, but also affect the nation’s overall economic and social conditions. One factor that can cause delays is the project team rushing ... -
Identifying Falling-from-Height Hazards in Building Information Models: A Voxelization-Based Method
(ASCE, 2021-12-14)Falling from height (FFH) is a major safety accident in the architectural/engineering/construction industry and should be prevented as early as possible. Although the current building information modeling (BIM)–based FFH ... -
Development of a Conceptual Designer’s Knowledge, Skills, and Experience Index for Prevention through Design Practice in Construction
(ASCE, 2021-12-06)The designer competence is a key dimension in the prevention through design (PtD) practices that has yet to be explicitly highlighted and assessed in regards to its practical implications. Despite the subject of PtD in ... -
Estimating Project Cost under Uncertainty Using Universal Generating Function Method
(ASCE, 2021-11-18)One of the important issues in project management is cost contingency estimation. Although this has been investigated in previous studies, the underlying assumptions on presuming specific probability distribution functions ... -
Simulation-Based Optimization Model to Minimize Equivalent Annual Cost of Existing Buildings
(ASCE, 2021-12-10)Building’s energy and water consumption and associated utility costs can be significantly reduced if proper energy and water-efficiency upgrades are applied. Due to the limitations of the upgrade budgets and the availability ... -
Reuse of Discharged Soil from Slurry Shield Tunnel Construction as Synchronous Grouting Material
(ASCE, 2021-11-18)Soil discharged from slurry shield tunnel construction has put great pressure on the environment and construction cost because of the increasing number of shield tunnel projects in cities. This paper aims to investigate ... -
Computational Geometric Approach for BIM Semantic Enrichment to Support Automated Underground Garage Compliance Checking
(ASCE, 2021-11-09)The need for manual semantic annotation to domain-specific building information modeling (BIM) models limits the application of BIM technology in various architecture, engineering, and construction fields. BIM semantic ... -
Blockchain-Enabled IoT-BIM Platform for Supply Chain Management in Modular Construction
(ASCE, 2021-11-24)Configuring a trustworthy Internet of Things (IoT)–enabled building information modeling (BIM) platform (IBP) is significant for modular construction to ensure transparency, traceability, and immutability throughout its ... -
Appropriate Types of Payments in Construction Contracts Based on Agency Theory Parameters
(ASCE, 2021-11-10)Choosing between different compensation strategies is one of the major concerns of owners in construction contracts. This paper is aimed at examining the choice between behavior-based and outcome-based payment types through ... -
Point Cloud Information Modeling: Deep Learning–Based Automated Information Modeling Framework for Point Cloud Data
(ASCE, 2021-11-18)Because point clouds have reality measurements of physical objects, they are often used to reconstruct the as-built three-dimensional (3D) model of building construction sites through a modeling process called Scan-to-building ... -
