Fall 2020
Clogging frequently occurs during underground excavation using tunnel boring machines (TBMs), and can cause severe schedule delays and cost overruns on projects. However, an index to quantitatively describe clogging potential has not been standardized. This paper presents a new index to indicate...

An Integrated 3D Safety-based Approach for the Design of Horizontal Curves using Reliability Analysis and LiDAR Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Safety-based design can be described as an approach in which safety is considered a core design input and the safety performance of proposed designs that follow this approach can be expected. Although current-day highway design guidelines are constantly updated to incorporate recent advances in...

An integrated approach to assessing mobile crane mat requirements based on a novel approach to ground bearing pressure calculations and a redefining of crane mat selection and optimization
DownloadFall 2022
Modular construction is adopted to increase construction efficiency and curtail waste. The fortitude of modular construction is high-capacity mobile cranes, of which hydraulic and crawler cranes are the most widely used. With the surge in weight of modules, the mobile crane's ground bearing...

Fall 2010
Homebuilding is widely regarded as the most analogous sector in the construction industry to automobile manufacturing. In the past decades, increasing interest from homebuilders has been seen to model the homebuilding process after manufacturing, particularly lean production, to improve...

An Integrated Framework for Balancing Contractor's Workload versus Capacity using System Dynamics
DownloadSpring 2023
Elnady, Ahmed Abdelrady Okasha Mohamed
Workload fluctuation is one of the major challenges facing contracting (project-based) organizations because of the rational decision-making model applied to manage it in current practice. The rational model balances the workload with the capacity required at the level of activity, ignoring the...

An Integrated Framework for Managing Labour Resources Data in Industrial Construction Projects: A Knowledge Discovery in Data (KDD) Approach
Download2009
Improper management of labour resources causes major problems for companies working on multiple industrial construction projects. To address these problems, an integrated framework is developed based on a five-step knowledge discovery in data model. The framework transfers existing...

An Integrated Optimization Model for Strategic Open-Pit Mine Planning and Tailings Management
DownloadFall 2014
Badiozamani Tari Nazari, Mohammad Mahdi
A strategic mine planning model determines the best order of extraction and destination of material over the mine-life, in a way that maximizes the net present value of the produced minerals. In case of oil sands open-pit mining, further processing of the extracted oil sands generates massive...

Fall 2011
Off-site structural steel fabrication has become increasingly popular in industrial construction projects over the past decade due to advantages of higher productivity, better quality, better safety and improved time and cost effectiveness. The fast paced nature of off-site structural steel...
