Greening Project Management Practices for Sustainable Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Environmentally sustainable building construction has experienced significant growth during the past 10 years. The public is becoming more aware of the benefits of green construction as prominent politicians, celebrities, ... -
Application of Equity Sensitivity Theory to Problem-Solving Approaches in Construction Dispute Negotiation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This study applies equity sensitivity theory to investigate how the sensitivity of negotiators to perceived equity or inequity varies with their perception of the adoption of problem-solving approaches (PSAs) in negotiation ... -
Maturity Model for Supply Chain Relationships in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Following its success in other sectors, the importance of supply chain management (SCM) has increasingly been recognized in the construction industry. A literature review reveals that most studies in this field have been ... -
Comparative Study of Activity-Based Construction Labor Productivity in the United States and China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This research compares construction labor productivity (CLP) of the United States with its Chinese counterpart at the activity level to evaluate productivity differences between the two countries from an operational ... -
Development of a Methodology for Understanding the Potency of Risk Connectivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)The Strategic Risk Register System (SRRS) is proposed by the writers as a practical methodology to enable the connectivity of risks to be elicited and evaluated so that the most potent risks in a system can be identified. ... -
Business Strategy and Capital Allocation Optimization Model for Practitioners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Construction engineering companies usually provide a variety of services. To be competitive, companies have to organize their operations strategically based on market demands within the limitations of their own resources. ... -
Human Resource Allocation for Remote Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)As the construction industry expands from local markets to global markets, many construction and engineering firms have acquired tenders remotely from their home base. When allocating human resource for the management team ... -

(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010) -
Selection of Project Delivery Method in Transit: Drivers and Objectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This paper describes the results of research on alternative project delivery methods in transit projects in the United States. The research, sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program, aimed to identify those ... -
Difficulties and Hindrances Facing End Users of Electronic Information Exchange Systems in Design and Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)Since information and communication technology (ICT) was introduced into the construction industry over a decade ago, the once fledging technologies have now been well developed. ICT has been commonly adopted, particularly ... -
Emergence and Role of Cultural Boundary Spanners in Global Engineering Project Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Engineering project networks are increasingly global in scope and outsourcing is increasingly common. Along with globalizing trends in project delivery, the workforce is also globalizing. It is common for engineers to move ... -
Performance of International Joint Ventures in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)International joint ventures (IJVs) have become popular because of their importance as a strategic alternative in global competition. The measurement of the performance of IJVs has been an important research topic for a ... -
Immigration and Construction: Analysis of the Impact of Immigration on Construction Project Costs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)There are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States. Of this population, research shows that approximately 19% work in the construction industry, comprising around 14% of all ... -
Optimizing Resource Utilization during the Recovery of Civil Infrastructure Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Postdisaster recovery efforts of damaged civil infrastructure systems need to be optimized in order to alleviate the adverse impacts of natural disasters on local societies and economies. This paper presents an innovative ... -
Critical Review of Collaborative Working in Construction Projects: Business Environment and Human Behaviors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The changing business environment characterized by tense competitiveness and wide global links requires construction organizations to establish effective and efficient interorganization collaborative management systems. ... -
Management Thinking in the Earned Value Method System and the Last Planner System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Management theory has been neglected in the construction industry, which has rather focused on best practices. This paper investigates the theories implicit in two prevalent project control systems: the earned value method ... -
Consistency and Reliability of Construction Arbitration Decisions: Empirical Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)While construction arbitration is analyzed in a plethora of information, there is a paucity of hard data about the consistency and reliability of the construction arbitration decision. The assumption that an industry ... -
Integrated Schedule and Cost Model for Repetitive Construction Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Several efforts have been made by many researchers to develop a model for schedule and cost integration in construction projects, but it is difficult to integrate and manage schedule and cost in an actual construction site ... -
CBR Revision Model for Improving Cost Prediction Accuracy in Multifamily Housing Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)For any construction project to succeed, it is very important to accurately estimate the construction cost during the project’s initial stage. This is why there has been much interest lately in cost prediction models that ... -
