System Dynamics Approach for Forecasting Performance of Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Accurate and reliable prediction of project performance is critical to the success of construction projects and companies alike. Such prediction assists in obtaining early warnings against potential problems. Existing ... -
Impact of Characteristics of Infrastructure Projects on Public Opinion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Infrastructure projects are developed at the interface of coupled technical and social systems. As a result, there is a symbiotic relationship between the social dynamics and technical characteristics of the projects. For ... -
Determining Success Factors for a Construction Organization: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ensuring success in the construction business is the aim of the owner/top management of the construction organizations. Previous research indicates that the presence of certain factors in an organization make it more ... -
Using Social Network Analysis to Model the Interaction between Root Causes of Fatalities in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Fatal accident rates in the U.S. construction industry trail behind other developed countries. Previous research investigated accident causation, but no studies focused on the relationship among root causes for construction ... -
Pavement Maintenance–Focused Decision Analysis on Concession Periods of PPP Highway Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)There are dynamic, interactive, and long-term relationships among the highway pavement performance, operator’s toll income and maintenance costs, the users’ satisfaction or willingness to travel, the government’s satisfaction, ... -
Modeling and Solving the Deadline Satisfaction Problem in Line-of-Balance Scheduling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study investigates the deadline satisfaction problem in line-of-balance (LOB) scheduling, where each activity can be done concurrently in several units by hiring additional crews, and all employed crews are allocated ... -
Is Arbitration the Right Way to Settle Conflicts in PPP Arrangements?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Conflicts are common in the construction industry. The characteristics of public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements make them prone to conflicts, some of which are acute and jeopardize the success of the project. Because ... -
Utilizing Construction Leading Safety Indicators: Case Study of Tennessee
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The construction industry has historically suffered from a high frequency and severity of accidents, making safety a major concern for all associated stakeholders. To improve safety performance, leading safety indicators ... -
Real Options Model of Toll-Adjustment Mechanism in Concession Contracts of Toll Road Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The toll-adjustment mechanism (TAM) is a hybrid of a price cap regulation mechanism and a revenue sharing mechanism. It is one solution to saving private investors from severe traffic demand risk and the government from ... -
Formation of Interorganizational Relational Behavior in Megaprojects: Perspective of the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Current literature on relationship management has focused on formal mechanisms such as contracts but has neglected the inter-organizational behavior that determines the effective adoption of relational mechanisms in the ... -
Quantitative Analysis for Country Classification in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The performances of international construction projects are quite vulnerable to the conditions of the host country. Because going overseas requires a substantial amount of resources, the process of country evaluation and ... -
Exploring Key Indicators of Residual Value Risks in China’s Public–Private Partnership Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are gaining popularity in China because of governments’ increasing budget constraints and the urgent need to develop infrastructure since 2014. However, residual value risk (RVR) is a ... -
Supply Chain Management in Megaprojects

Leadership Paradigms in Construction: Critical Review to Inform Research and Practice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Development of a Project Scope Definition and Assessment Tool for Small Industrial Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Front-end planning is arguably the most impactful activity in the management of construction projects. Small projects oftentimes have minimal planning completed prior to the start of the design and construction, much to ... -
Successful Facility Change-Management Practices for Retrofit Projects: Case Study in Lighting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper explores the adoption, character, and impact of adaptive-management strategies used in energy retrofitting of an administrative office building in Seattle, Washington. A multilevel qualitative research design ... -
Risk-Compensation Behaviors on Construction Sites: Demographic and Psychological Determinants
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Risk-compensation behavior refers to the riskier behavior resulting from the perception that the environment has become safer. This study aims to investigate the role of demographics and psychological constructs in predicting ... -
Management-Reserve Estimation for International Construction Projects Based on Risk-Informed k-NN
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)International construction projects normally involve high levels of risk. To reduce such risk, contractors typically include a reserve to mitigate cost overruns and schedule delays. This reserve comprises two categories: ... -
Fuzzy AHP Model for Prequalification of Engineering Consultants in the Iranian Public Procurement System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Prequalification of engineering consultants in the Iranian public procurement system is suffering from arbitrary processes and criteria that cannot effectively shortlist the increasing number of potential bidders. This ... -
Construction Workers’ Group Norms and Personal Standards Regarding Safety Behavior: Social Identity Theory Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A number of researchers have proposed and demonstrated that worker behavior is one of the main factors in construction safety. Working within the parameters of worker safety awareness and behavior, many researchers have ...
