Somi, Sahand, Seresht, Nima Gerami, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Wind farm projects have recently gained popularity in many countries. However, since wind farms are a novel type of infrastructure for energy production for which limited historical data are available, numerous unique challenges are encountered during their construction. One of the main...

Development of an integrated tailings closure model using GoldSim: preliminary results and lessons learned
Download2018-10-10
Traditionally, multidisciplinary simulation exercises often involves one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. In this presentation, new techniques such as System Dynamics and Causal Loop Diagramming (CLD) will be used as the...

Traditionally, multi-disciplinary modelling exercises involve one discipline mechanistically using the output from a black-box model developed by another discipline. To address this deficiency, the research uses techniques relatively new to the geotechnical community, such as System Dynamics (SD)...

Evaluating Risk Response Strategies on Construction Projects Using a Fuzzy Rule-Based System
Download2019-01-01
Fateminia, Seyed Hamed, Seresht, Nima Gerami, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The development and implementation of risk response strategies contributes to effective risk management processes in construction organizations. Risk response strategies need to be developed and implemented as follows: first, all possible risk responses for each given risk event of a project are...

Framework to analyze construction labor productivity using fuzzy data clustering and multi-criteria decision-making
Download2020-01-01
Kazerooni, Matin, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labor productivity (CLP) has a significant impact on the performance and profitability of construction projects. A construction project can benefit from improved labor productivity in many ways, such as a shorter project life cycle and lower project cost. However, budget and resource...

Integrating fuzzy agent-based modeling and multi-criteria decision-making for analyzing construction crew performance
Download2019-01-01
Kedir, Nebiyu Siraj, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction practitioners face considerable challenges when selecting economically feasible policies for maximizing crew motivation and performance. This paper proposes a methodology for integrating fuzzy agent-based modeling (FABM) with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to develop a...
