Direction, method, and model for implementing design for construction worker safety in the US

Creator:: Tymvios, Nicholas
Abstract:: The construction industry employs about 7% of the total US workforce, and yet it accounts for 15.7% of all occupational fatalities. Specifically in 2011, there were 721 deaths in construction, second only to transportation with 733. The cause of a large number of these construction deaths can be attributed to...

Radiometric Calibration of EAARL‐B Bathymetric Lidar Data

Creator:: Wilson, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: The Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar ‐ B (EAARL‐B), which was built and deployed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2014, is a novel topographic‐bathymetric lidar system. While retaining a number of features that were pioneered in the original National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) EAARL system (e.g., low...

Observations and Modeling of Shear Reduction and Sediment Flux within Vegetated Canopies on Managed Coastal Dunes

Creator:: Dickey, John
Abstract:: Wind flow on vegetated coastal foredunes adapts to the local canopy drag, resulting in spatial gradients in bed shear stresses which contribute to the formation of localized bedforms (e.g., nebkha, shadow dunes). Numerous morphological properties of the plants, including canopy height and density, affect the wind flow dynamics and therefore...

Multi-Criteria Risk Mapping Using Lean Tools for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry

Creator:: Viriato Maia Ferreira Pestana, Ana Catarina
Abstract:: Over the past two decades, the Lean Construction academic and practicing engineering community has used lean practices and tools to help improve the performance of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Lean practices have led to improved competitiveness of construction companies that have adopted them, by focusing on ways...

Enhancing Technology Integration in the Construction Industry : A Focus on Safety Technologies

Creator:: Nnaji, Chukwuma A.
Abstract:: Recent statistics suggest that the construction industry continues to experience poor project performance. Specifically, construction productivity has witnessed a meager annual growth of 1% over the past 20 years while the industry constantly records both a high number of fatalities and a high fatality rates relative to other industries. The...

Risk and Reward Perception and Risk-Taking: Applicability, Relationship, and Implication in Construction Safety

Creator:: Azeez, Mohammed N.
Abstract:: While safety improvements have been made in the construction industry, construction still experiences one of the highest numbers of fatalities annually compared to other industries in the United States with over 970 fatalities in 2016 alone. This number of fatalities drives researchers and safety managers to improve safety measures and...

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...

Aqueous-organic partition coefficients for Rn-222 and their application to Radon analysis by liquid scintillation methods

Creator:: Cantaloub, Michael G.
Abstract:: A method is described for determining the partition coefficient, K, for radon gas distributed between an aqueous phase and an organic solvent. The method uses sequential extractions of radon into equal volume aliquots of organic solvent. The radon-laden organic liquid is then counted on a liquid scintillation analyzer with alpha-beta...
