  • Application of Technologies for Temporary Structures during the Design and Construction Phases

    Creator:
    Jin, Ziyu
    Abstract:
    The development of technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), light detection and ranging (lidar), and sensor-based systems poses new opportunities for researchers to rethink how construction safety and health can be approached during the design, planning, and construction phases of a project. Nevertheless, the majority of the technology applications...

  • Degrees of Connectivity : A Systematic Accident Causation Model

    Creator:
    Alomari, Kasim A.
    Abstract:
    With all of the efforts that have been conducted over the past 100 years since the first accident causation theory was published, the Accident Proneness theory by Vernon (1918), the construction still trails among different industries in terms of fatal and nonfatal work injuries. Theories and models that have been...
