Impact of Job Stressors and Stress on the Safety Behavior and Accidents of Construction Workers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Construction workers (CWs) are usually exposed to various job-related hazards while working on construction sites, especially when there is a lack of appropriate equipment, working without support, or being forced to work ... -
Conceptual Cost Estimation Model for Engineering Services in Public Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Cost estimation for public projects includes, but is not limited to, construction costs and engineering services costs. The available cost estimation models for these projects focus on the construction phase, with little ... -
State of Private Financing in Development of Highway Projects in the United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The U.S. Department of Transportation and state DOTs across the nation seek private investments to leverage their shrinking financial resources and fulfill their growing funding shortfalls. The decision to involve the ... -
Importance of Workplace Relationships and Attitudes toward Organizational Change in Engineering Asset-Management Organizations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Effective asset management is an important factor that can affect public well-being by reducing accidents and break-downs in public utilities. To be effective, asset managers, engineers, and technicians must be open to the ... -
BIM as Infrastructure in a Finnish HVAC Actor Network: Enabling Adoption, Reuse, and Recombination over a Building Life Cycle and between Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper investigates how sociotechnical actions such as adoption, reuse, and recombination of designs and processes enable the users of building information modeling (BIM) tools to not only achieve productivity improvements ... -
Automated Rule-Based Constructability Checking: Case Study of Formwork
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Constructability has been raised to optimize construction knowledge and experience in the design phase to improve project performance. However, the traditional constructability review is often conducted manually and ... -
Critical Success Factors for Value Management Workshops in Malaysia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The application of value management (VM) in Malaysia increased dramatically after it was made a mandatory requirement for public projects exceeding 50 million Renminbi. This paper reports the findings of an empirical study ... -
Incorporation of Alternatives and Importance Levels in Scheduling Complex Construction Programs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A complex construction program usually consists of a group of interrelated projects with different levels of importance and degrees of certainty. Currently, time management of a construction program uses the same techniques ... -
Closure to “Ant Colony Optimization for Multimode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling” by Hong Zhang
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014) -
Design-Build Contractor Selection for Public Sustainable Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Design-build (DB) is regarded as an effective means of delivering high performance green buildings, and the selection of DB contractors is of critical importance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the selection ... -
Enterprise Localization Practices and Their Implication for Knowledge Management in Foreign Participation in the Chinese Construction Sector
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Foreign firms active in the Chinese construction industry find themselves in a competitive environment unlike the environments in which they operate back home. Adaptations are therefore required in order that firms retain ... -
Optimal Structure and Two Case Study Implementations of a Railway Maintenance Management System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Railway networks stretch over thousands of kilometers and consist of a tremendous number of objects and components that exhibit markedly different behavior. The only effective manner in which a railway can manage the ... -
Practical Tool for Assessing Best Value at the Procurement Stage of Public Building Projects in Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a practical tool for articulating best value criteria during the procurement of public-sector building projects in Korea. Data is obtained from sampling 180 stakeholders drawn mainly from a pool of ... -
Understanding the Causation of Construction Workers’ Unsafe Behaviors Based on System Dynamics Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The unsafe behaviors of construction workers are often the immediate causes of construction accidents, but the underlying causation of such behaviors are not well understood. This research regards the management of ... -
Quality Assurance Organization Selection Factors for Highway Design and Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A project quality assurance organization (QAO) assigns project quality responsibilities and relationships, both for design and construction. In the highway sector, all project quality roles and responsibilities have ... -
Neural Network Approach for Safety Climate Prediction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Safety climate is a snapshot of the safety culture of any organization and it is dynamic in nature. It reflects the employees’ perceptions and attitude towards the existing safety practices in construction projects. The ... -
Evaluating the Suitability of Using International Market Analyses to Characterize the Global Construction Industry
