Using Game Theory to Negotiate Win–Win Payment Terms between Contractors and Subcontractors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The construction business is known for its fierce competition among contractors and intensive outsourcing to subcontractors. Contractors compete for projects from owners by offering the lowest bid prices based on the lowest ... -
Abnormal Behavior Recognition Algorithm in Small Sample Scenarios for a Utility Tunnel Project Based on DCGAN
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Complex scenarios and a lack of anomaly data in utility tunnels are key issues hindering the identification of the behavior of construction personnel in utility tunnels. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a ... -
Game Theory Integration in Construction Management: A Comprehensive Approach to Cost, Risk, and Coordination under Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study leverages game theory to address three interrelated challenges in construction management: cost allocation for blockchain technology, risk assessment in production planning, and coordination among stakeholders ... -
Circular Economy in Construction: Decision-Making Factors and Future Research Avenues
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The construction sector is a major consumer of raw materials and a significant contributor to environmental degradation. Circular economy (CE)—an economic and systemic approach aimed at minimizing waste and fostering ... -
Differences in Pathways to Resilient Safety Culture for Construction Projects of Different Sizes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A positive safety culture is essential in improving the construction industry’s poorer occupational health and safety (OHS) performance. The resilient safety culture (RSC) is a state-of-the-art safety culture model whose ... -
Evaluating the Potential Impact of Building Design Strategies on Material Recovery during Deconstruction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Construction accounts for 11% of embodied carbon and generates around half of the solid waste in our economy. Recovering materials from deconstructed buildings at the end of their life cycles can reduce embodied carbon and ... -
Sharing Psychological Safety Climate at the Group Level among Construction Workers: The Roles of Group Identification and Interactional Justice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)As a powerful method for reducing accidents and harm in the construction domain, safety climate has garnered significant attention. However, previous research has focused primarily on top-down effects associated with the ... -
Developing a Spatial Regression Model Framework for Insured Flood Losses in Houston
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Events such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which struck Houston resulted in billions of dollars in reported flood insurance claims through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Currently, there is limited research ... -
Differences in Risk Analysis between Workers and Managers: Study from the Perspective of Neuroscience
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In the realm of construction safety, disparities in risk perception among workers and frontline managers impede risk communication and undermine risk management endeavors. Building upon previous research, this study zeroes ... -
Comprehensive Evaluation of Grouting Effectiveness Combining Qualitative On-Site Tests and Improved Fuzzy Integration with Entropy Weight Method: Case Study of a Mountain Tunnel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Grouting can considerably reduce water leakage and rock collapse disasters in mountain tunnels. Evaluating postgrouting effects is crucial for ensuring grouting quality. However, because grouting is a multifaceted problem, ... -
Current and Future Trends for Resilient Inland Waterway Transportation Systems during Flood Disruptions
