(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study aimed to develop a method for converting -
New Aspects in Time-Cost Tradeoff Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a linear programming model for solution of the time-cost tradeoff problem. Although several analytical models have been developed for time-cost optimization (TCO), many of them mainly focused on projects ... -
Empirical Study on the Key Drivers Affecting Durations for Right-of-Way Acquisition on Highway Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Right-of-way (R/W) acquisition, one of the most basic of preconstruction activities on a highway project, is an important subject by many state DOTs because the failure to make timely acquisitions of R/W causes significant ... -
Stringing Construction Planning and Execution Tasks Together for Effective Project Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper introduces a new concept termed the continuous task-string (TS), which consists of specific combinations of preconstruction planning (PCP) and project execution (PE) tasks that, when linked together have a high ... -
Assessing the Direct Employment Impact of Federal Economic Stimulus Funds on Construction Projects in Texas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Owing to the 2008 economic downturn in the United States, the construction industry lost 632,000 jobs nationally, of which approximately 100,000 were in Texas. In response to the economic recession, a stimulus package known ... -
Characteristics of Jobs and Jobholders that Affect Job Satisfaction and Work Performance of Project Managers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Construction project managers are more likely to work effectively when they have job satisfaction. This research aims to identify job and personal characteristics that significantly affect construction project managers’ ... -
Assessing Coordination Performance Based on Centrality in an E-mail Communication Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Building design and construction require the collective effort of diverse project participants. The coordination performance of these project participants is important for effective management and needs to be assessed ... -
Causes of Delay in Construction Projects in the Oil and Gas Industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: A Case Study
