Fall 2016
“Blown-pack” spoilage of beef by psychrotrophic Clostridium spp. occurs sporadically and resistance of the endospores to most interventions makes them very difficult to control. Current interventions used to control spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, such as acid washes and heat treatments, do...

A fuzzy consensus building framework for early alignment of construction project teams on the extent of their roles and responsibilities
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis presents a Fuzzy Consensus Building Framework (FCBF), which enables construction project parties to align their teams on their roles and responsibilities early on in their projects. The framework introduces a model that (1) incorporates consensus of construction project teams in...

A Hybrid Fuzzy Discrete Event Simulation Framework for Analysis of Stochastic and Subjective Uncertainties in Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2015
Discrete event simulation (DES) has proven to be an indispensable tool for planning and analyzing construction projects. Appropriate consideration of uncertainties of the inputs of DES results in more realistic outputs. Uncertainty in general can be categorized as stochastic and subjective....

Consensus Building and Optimization in Group Decision-Making for the Risk Assessment of Wind Farm Project
DownloadSpring 2021
Infrastructure projects for harnessing renewable energy (e.g., Wind Farm Project) have recently gained popularity because of their low adverse impact on the environment. However, the risk assessment of the Wind Farm Project involves numerous challenges since historical data for these projects are...

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....

Fuzzy Agent-based Modeling of Competency and Performance Measures of Construction Organizations
DownloadFall 2023
Construction competency measures refer to a combination of the skills, knowledge, technologies, processes, and practices that a construction organization uses to improve its performance and the performance of its projects. Performance measures in construction are used to assess the effectiveness,...
