Pricing Mechanism of Early Termination of PPP Projects Based on Real Option Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The early termination of public–private partnerships (PPP) frequently occurs in large infrastructure projects. Studies have analyzed the issue of compensation arising from early termination; however, most have ignored ... -
Corrupt Practices in the Construction Industry: Survey of Ghanaian Experience
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Across the globe, corruption presents a major risk that reduces construction project performances by inflating costs and reducing the quality of the infrastructure commissioned. In developing countries, corruption stifles ... -
Social Media Data Analytics for the U.S. Construction Industry: Preliminary Study on Twitter
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The increasing use of the Internet for many purposes is creating big data, many of which are generated from social media. These big data potentially could assist in obtaining valuable administrative information and even ... -
Identification of Trust-Repair Strategies and Their Effectiveness in the Chinese Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Trust is regarded as an important governance mechanism for subcontracting in the construction industry. However, trust is also vulnerable and fragile. After trust is built, trust is not necessarily maintained throughout a ... -
Self-Organization and Sense-Making in Architect–Engineer Design Teams: Leveraging Health Care’s Approach to Managing Complex Adaptive Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Traditional management-led risk-mitigation and performance-improvement procedures tend to ignore the relationship dynamics of Architect–Engineer design teams, and instead focus on the credentials of the designers and the ... -
Praxis of Performance Measurement in Public-Private Partnerships: Moving beyond the Iron Triangle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An effective and efficient performance measurement is deemed to be pivotal for ensuring owners’ and stakeholders’ needs are being met throughout a project’s lifecycle. To determine the nature of performance measurement in ... -
Knowledge Utilization Process in Highway Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The purpose of this paper is to determine knowledge utilization process and its influence on the performance of construction projects. Two cases of highway projects in Malaysia were used to develop a knowledge utilization ... -
Construction Management Challenges and Best Practices for Rural Transit Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Rural transit projects are often small in scope but numerous and geographically dispersed. Management of these projects can be challenging because of very limited resources, unique risk factors, and a lack of construction ... -
Project Risk Distribution during the Construction Phase of Small Building Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Early identification and communication of risks throughout the construction phase allows project teams to manage and minimize cost increases and schedule delays while increasing customer satisfaction. A better understanding ... -
Effects of Firm Characteristics on Enterprise Risk Management: Case Study of Chinese Construction Firms Operating in Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of regulatory pressure, firm ownership, and firm size on enterprise risk management (ERM) implementation in international construction firms. To achieve this ... -
Nongeometric Building Information Needs Assessment for Facilities Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Building information modeling (BIM) tools hold promise for owners in terms of collecting the information needed for facility operations. The introduction of BIM technology has increased the need for project teams to deliver ... -
Utilization of 3D Visualization of Mobile Crane Operations for Modular Construction On-Site Assembly
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In heavy industrial construction, the on-site approach to construction is being gradually replaced by the off-site (modular-based) construction method, which is faster, results in better-quality products, and is more ... -
Genetic Algorithm–Based Method for the Deadline Problem in Repetitive Construction Projects Considering Soft Logic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The discrete time-cost trade-off problem (DTCTP) is a multiobjective problem usually encountered in practical projects. Current optimization methods for this problem in repetitive construction projects often assume that ... -
Developing a Program Organization Performance Index for Delivering Construction Megaprojects in China: Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The emergence of construction megaprojects has become a global phenomenon over the last two decades as a result of rapid urbanization. Program management has been increasingly promoted as a vital approach for ensuring ... -
Improving Subjective Value in Construction Claim Negotiations: Role of Behavioral Primers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Even though most studies have merely focused on the relationship between behavioral primers and objective value, subjective value plays an important role in evaluating negotiation outcomes. This study aims to investigate ... -
Multiobjective Optimization Model for Maximizing Sustainability of Existing Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Aging buildings in the United States represent 70% of existing buildings, and they are often in urgent need of upgrades to improve their operational, economic, and environmental performance. Recent studies reported the ... -
