Analyzing Effective Supplier-Quality-Management Practices Using Simple Multiattribute Rating Technique and Value-Focused Thinking
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Supplier-quality-management (SQM) practices are important to ensure that supplied project materials are within quality specifications. However, not all SQM practices have similar impact on quality or are easy to perform ... -
Decision Support Framework for Infrastructure Maintenance Investment Decision Making
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Public infrastructure management agencies in the United States are facing multiple challenges, including aging infrastructure, reduction in capacity of existing infrastructure, and limited funds for the maintenance of ... -
Demystifying Construction Project Time–Effort Distribution Curves: BIM and Non-BIM Comparison
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)MacLeamy’s time–effort distribution curves are among the most oft-cited sources for researchers interested in mainstreaming building information modeling (BIM) implementation in the architecture, engineering, and construction ... -
Contractor Energy Information System: Energy-Savings Tool for Building Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The lifecycle of a building has various phases, from raw material acquisition during preconstruction to deconstruction and disposal. Activities associated with these phases demand energy and other resources, which impose ... -
Investigating the Components of Innovation in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Innovation has been regarded as a means of improving performance in construction. Despite its benefits, management of innovation is a difficult task and its measurement is complicated. A comprehensive model comprising ... -
Long-Term Viability of Midsize Engineering Firms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The consulting engineering industry focusing on the built environment is characterized by a large number of small firms distributed across the United States. With over 55,000 firms and over 800,000 employees, the industry ... -
Discussion of “Barriers of Implementing Modern Methods of Construction” by M. Motiar Rahman

Evolutionary Simulation of Contractors’ Learning and Behavior under Two Bid-Tendering Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Bidding and determining the optimum markup are two major decisions that a contractor has to think about thoroughly when faced with a new project. Several bidding models have been presented in the literature to help contractors ... -
Prediction of Environmental Costs of Construction Noise and Vibration at the Preconstruction Phase
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Construction noise and vibration in urban areas are environmental impacts that cause damage to humans. A model for predicting the environmental costs of construction noise and vibration was developed in this study. The ... -
Public Agency Performance Management for Improved Service Delivery in the Digital Age: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Customer expectations for government services have changed significantly in the past decade, at the same time as technology, especially social media, has transformed how agencies interact with their customers and deliver ... -
Exploratory Framework for Application of Analytics in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The complex dynamics inherent to the context of decision-making in the construction industry requires more rigorous application of analytics. However, effective frameworks to facilitate such data-driven decision-making are ... -
Evaluation of Methods to Retain Cost Estimating Competencies Using Structural Equation Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The greatest challenge facing the cost estimating profession over the next decade is probably the high retirement rate of senior estimators who have critical knowledge and skills in estimating. Engineering and construction ... -
Application of Discrete-Event Simulation in the Quantitative Evaluation of Information Systems in Infrastructure Maintenance Management Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Information technology (IT) has increasingly been highlighted in the construction industry as an integral contributor in improving project performance and competition. IT application challenges for infrastructure operation ... -
Analysis of Competitive Environments, Business Strategies, and Performance in Hong Kong’s Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Nearly all construction works are traditionally awarded through a competitive tendering process. A contractor’s competitive strategy thus determines its success or failure in different competitive environments. This study ... -
Role of Opportunism and Trust in Construction Projects: Empirical Evidence from China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Project success is the ultimate goal for all projects, and doubts often arise about what actually determines project success. On the basis of the transaction cost exchange (TCE) and relational exchange theory (RET), this ... -
Impact of Personal Demographics on Civil Engineers’ Motivators: Case Study of Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A civil engineer who lacks motivation, may perform poorly in making decisions, which may in turn negatively affect the performance of a construction project. This study extends knowledge about individual-level motivation ... -
Critical Factors Affecting Tacit-Knowledge Sharing within the Integrated Project Team
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Sharing tacit knowledge is of great importance for an integrated project team to achieve success. However, research on the factors affecting tacit-knowledge sharing within an integrated project team has been insufficient ... -
Establishment of Quantitative Measures for Team Integration Assessment in Alliance Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The ability to sustain and consistently drive integration practice is vital for alliance teams as it promotes a collaborative culture and the continuity of equitable relationships to improve project performance. An alliance ... -
