Determining and Managing Contingency Reserve throughout the Lifecycle of Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Managing risk events and uncertainties plays a key role in the successful delivery of construction projects. To cover the implementation cost of risk response actions as well as the effects of risks on project goals, contingency reserve must be calculated and considered in the project budget....

Developing and Optimizing Context-Specific and Universal Construction Labour Productivity Models
DownloadFall 2015
Construction labour productivity (CLP) significantly influences the profitability of construction companies; however, CLP exhibits the highest variability among project resources and is a major source of project risk. The construction industry is thus constantly searching for ways to improve...

Developing and Testing a Framework to Measure the Sanitation Efficacy on a Random Particle Level in Composting Industry
DownloadFall 2014
Both direct and indirect process validation regulations are being used to ensure the safety of compost products. The North American guidelines specify upper limits for certain pathogenic and indicator microbes, which are presumably achieved by exposing every particle of compost to temperatures...

Developing Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Model for Construction Labour Productivity Prediction and Optimization
DownloadFall 2021
Construction labour productivity (CLP) is considered one of the most important parameters affecting the performance of construction projects. Therefore, modeling CLP is a crucial step in construction projects. Accurate prediction of CLP helps in effective planning, cost estimating, and...
