Public–Private Partnership Risks in Conflict Zones and Solutions: Case Study for Afghanistan
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Insufficient studies on public–private partnership (PPP) risks in conflict zones, and thus lack of knowledge to provide effective and feasible solutions to these risks, are the major reasons for the failure of PPP ... -
Multihazard Scenarios for Regional Seismic Risk Assessment of Spatially Distributed Infrastructure
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)This paper introduces the multihazard optimization-based probabilistic scenario (multihazard OPS) method to create an ensemble of multihazard scenarios that can be used for efficient evaluation of spatially distributed ... -
The Determinants of Time Overruns in Portuguese Public Projects
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Infrastructure project delivery is a central topic in construction and project management. Time overruns are a critical dimension of successful project delivery. A significant body of knowledge exists regarding the ... -
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Framework to Support Data Procurement Strategies for Infrastructure Assets
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The collection of infrastructure performance data is critical for agencies to cost-effectively maintain and preserve their existing assets. This paper presents a decision-support tool developed to support a state planning ... -
Developing Automation Adoption Readiness Index for Quality Management Focused on Highway Construction
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The construction industry is stigmatized by low-quality performance at the end of product delivery. The poor performance quality sometimes observed in highway construction leads to reduced service life and requires urgent ... -
Role of Spatial Effect in Postdisaster Housing Recovery: Case Study of Hurricane Katrina
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)This study examines the influence of spatial effect and demographic characteristics on postdisaster households’ relocations at the block group level. Data for 479 block groups were collected in the city of New Orleans ... -
Applied Financial Metrics to Measure Interdependencies in a Waterway Infrastructure System
