In construction manufacturing, components (e.g., panels or modules) are produced in a factory environment before being transported and installed in a construction site. In this context, two distinct operational phases are observed: factory, accounting for 60%–90% of the tasks that would typically...

Background: Construction sites can be hazardous places. Behavior-based safety is a method to optimize workers’ behaviors and improve site safety. Previous behavior-based safety has been criticized for their low efficiency because of manual observation. The community has conducted enormous studies...

Ductile steel plate shear walls are an established lateral load resisting system. Past research indicates that cold-rolled infill panels less than 1 mm in thickness present one solution to an overstrength problem arising from selecting an infill panel thickness based on ease of welding and...
