Structural Model of Internal Factors Influencing the Safety Behavior of Construction Workers
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)The immediate cause of construction accidents is attributed to human error. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between individual internal factors and unsafe behaviors in construction sites. This study ... -
Comparative Analysis of PMO Functions between the Public and Private Sectors: Survey of High-Performing Construction Organizations
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Public and private organizations are distinct in terms of ownership structure and stakeholders because they approach project management processes and structures differently. Thus, it is likely that they operate project ... -
Insidious Safety Threat of Fatigue: Investigating Construction Workers’ Risk of Accident Due to Fatigue
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)The construction industry is among the most hazardous occupations. Workers are expected to fulfill physically and mentally demanding tasks in construction environments while they are exposed to numerous safety hazards. The ... -
Resilience Criteria for Project Delivery Processes: An Exploratory Analysis for Highway Project Development
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Highway project delivery is a disruption-prone process in which resilience is essential to project success, because different project stages experience disruptions and struggle to reach desired project outcomes. A process ... -
Assessing Green-Building Policies with Structural Consistency and Behavioral Coherence: A Framework of Effectiveness and Efficiency
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Getting a better understanding of the policy effectiveness and efficiency is a promising topic for encouraging the green-building initiative in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. This study introduces ... -
Evaluating Mobile Crane Lift Operations Using an Interactive Virtual Reality System
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Cranes are one of the most critical and expensive pieces of construction industry equipment requiring intense safety considerations. Lifting crews should attempt to develop an effective lift plan to improve the operation’s ... -
Toward an Equity-Based Analysis of Construction Incentivization
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Construction incentivization (CI) is a collective term that covers the range of incentive schemes that are commonly used in construction projects. Typically, either a carrot or a stick is used as the motivator for the ... -
US Construction Industry Managerial Strategies for Economic Recession and Recovery: A Delphi Study
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Economic changes impact the construction industry and the associated stakeholders involved in construction projects. Construction companies are not immune to economic downturns, as evidenced by the sharp decline and long ... -
Heuristic Methods for Finance-Based and Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Contractors are often simultaneously subject to capital shortages and resource scarcities in construction projects, forcing them to rely on loans to offset cash deficits during project execution. However, few studies have ... -
Natural Language Processing–Driven Model to Extract Contract Change Reasons and Altered Work Items for Advanced Retrieval of Change Orders
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Change orders are documents that describe a specific contract amendment to the original scope of work. Historical change orders are invaluable information sources that can provide practical and proven solutions for developing ... -
CLOI: An Automated Benchmark Framework for Generating Geometric Digital Twins of Industrial Facilities
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This paper devised, implemented, and benchmarked a novel framework, named CLOI, that can generate accurate individual labelled point clusters of the most important shapes of existing industrial facilities with minimal ... -
Hybrid Model for Assessing the Influence of Safety Management Practices on Labor Productivity in Multistory Building Projects
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)The occurrence of accidents at construction sites has negative effects on labor productivity. Conversely, the implementation of good safety management practices (SMPs) can increase productivity. Thus, to enhance productivity, ... -
Breakdown of Engineering Projects’ Success Criteria
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This paper presents the findings from a study of the breakdown of project success criteria. An exploration of the evolution of studies on the success of engineering projects over decades was the basis for a project success ... -
Dual-Attribution Model of Trust Development between Contracting Parties in Construction Projects: Psychological Perspective
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)The importance of understanding individuals’ psychology when studying interorganizational trust has been increasingly acknowledged by researchers in the construction industry. However, few studies have purposely examined ... -
Installation Quality Framework: Investment Return Approach for Energy Savings on Building Product Installation
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)A case study was conducted on 44 residential homes using both traditional house wrap and ZIP System systems to measure the overall airtightness and compare estimated energy usages. The labor, material, and overhead and ... -
Comparing Natural Language Processing Methods to Cluster Construction Schedules
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The names of construction activities are the only unstructured data attribute in construction schedules, and they often guide construction execution. Activity names are devised to communicate between stakeholders, and ... -
Proportional Cox Hazards Model to Quantify the Likelihood of Underestimation in Transportation Projects
