Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...

A framework to automate physical demand analysis based on artificial intelligence and motion capture for workplace safety improvement
DownloadFall 2022
Workers' safety and productivity and its affecting factors, such as ergonomics, are essential aspects of construction projects. Applying ergonomics and realizing the connections among workers and their assigned tasks have indicated a decrease in workers' injuries and discomforts, a beneficial...

An Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on Freight Delivery Schedule Strategies on the Mackenzie River
DownloadFall 2016
The Mackenzie River is a major freight transportation route serving many remote northern Canadian communities and mining sites. The river is only navigable during the summer and early fall months, when it is clear of ice. However, the water conditions of this river have changed significantly in...
