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...

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...

Evaluating Industrialization Rate in Construction: A Quantification Model

Creator:: Liu, Ding
Abstract:: The concept of construction industrialization, first raised in the 1960s, refers to the transfer of on-site construction work to an off-site factory to improve quality and reduce cost, time, and safety issues. In some countries, industrialization of construction projects is highly recommended and promoted by governments and local construction institutions...

Introducing the Concept of Foundational Attributes and Project Metabolism to Assess Construction Project Similarity

Creator:: Zhang, Fan
Abstract:: A construction project is considered to be unique due to the process of delivering a customer-designed product, diverse stakeholders involved, the unique location and timeframe of construction, and specific social, economic, and environmental constraints attached to it. The uniqueness of construction projects brought great challenges to the construction industry professionals...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Prevent Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete with Highly and Very Highly Reactive Aggregates

Creator:: Chopperla, Krishna Siva Teja
Abstract:: The most common test methods to evaluate alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the concrete prism test (CPT) and the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT), have limitations and are not entirely reliable in terms of predicting the performance of concrete with prevention measures under field conditions. In this study, the miniature concrete prism...

A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

Creator:: Li, Chang
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

Evaluating the Feasibility of Mass Timber as a Mainstream Building Material in the US Construction Market: Industry Perception, Cost Competitiveness, and Environmental Performance Analysis

Creator:: Ahmed, Shafayet
Abstract:: Mass timber has been considered as a promising building material because of its structural rigidity, environmental sustainability, and renewability nature. In Europe and Australia, mass timber materials have been used for many different types of construction such as residential, commercial, education, and industrial. However, the construction practitioners in the U.S....

Design Principles of Transition Metal X-ide Catalysts for Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction and Evolution Reactions: In-Situ X-ray Spectroscopy Studies

Creator:: Wang, Maoyu
Abstract:: Hydrogen is the green fuel that can be produced from water through electrolysis and used via hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity with zero carbon dioxide emission. The commercialization of electrolyzers and fuel cells is the critical step to achieving global carbon neutrality. However, it is severely hampered by the...

Use of Flashing Lights in Traffic Safety of Vulnerable Road Users

Creator:: Ahmed, Ananna
Abstract:: Vulnerable road users, anyone interacting with the roadway facility without the protection of an automobile, experience greater risk for more severe crash outcomes. Multimodal roadway facilities often times provide less separation and more points of conflict between different types of road users. To promote vulnerable road user safety, transportation agencies...
