Framework for Identification of Factors Affecting Construction Crew Motivation and Performance
Download2018-01-01
Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction researchers have long had difficulties identifying motivational factors and situational and contextual factors affecting crew motivation and performance. The two main objectives of this paper are to define a methodology to identify the factors affecting construction crew motivation...

Framework for integrating an artificial neural network and a genetic algorithm to develop a predictive model for construction labor productivity.
Download2020-01-01
Ebrahimi, Sara, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labor productivity (CLP) is one of the most important factors in the construction industry, as it has a direct effect on a company’s efficiency and profitability. The accurate prediction of CLP is essential for effective decision-making prior to project execution, and continuous...

Framework to analyze construction labor productivity using fuzzy data clustering and multi-criteria decision-making
Download2020-01-01
Kazerooni, Matin, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction labor productivity (CLP) has a significant impact on the performance and profitability of construction projects. A construction project can benefit from improved labor productivity in many ways, such as a shorter project life cycle and lower project cost. However, budget and resource...

Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Recently, agent-based modeling (ABM) has been used to model construction processes and practices because it is capable of handling some of the complexities that arise from the interactions of system components. However, ABM alone cannot take into account the subjective uncertainty that exists in...

Fuzzy Agent-Based Multicriteria Decision-Making Model for Analyzing Construction Crew Performance
Download2020-01-01
Kedir, Nebiyu Siraj, Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Selecting economically feasible policies for maximizing crew motivation and performance is a multifaceted problem, and each aspect of the process poses considerable unique challenges for construction practitioners. Fuzzy agent-based modeling (FABM) addresses some of the challenges of predicting...

Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The use of agent-based modeling (ABM) in the analysis of construction processes and practices has increased significantly over the last decade. However, the developed models are not able to address both random and subjective uncertainties that exist in many construction processes and practices....

Geotechnical Properties of Effluent-Contaminated Cohesive Soils and Their Stabilization Using Industrial By-Products.
Download2018-10-20
The unchecked and unnoticed disposal of industrial leachates is a common malpractice in developing countries. Untreated effluents from industries drastically deteriorate the soil, altering nearly all of its characteristics. An increase in urbanization has led to construction on these deteriorated...
