Embankment dams have been constructed in Canada and the United States for over one hundred years. Embankment dams are owned by government bodies, mining and resource companies, hydroelectric producers, and other entities. Dams that have been in service for many years may have a high hazard rating...

Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Labor productivity and performance both significantly influence the overall success of construction projects, and the motivation of crew members is a major factor affecting labor. The construction industry needs better methods of measuring motivation and its impact on performance, which in turn...

Hybrid fuzzy Monte Carlo agent-based modeling of workforce motivation and performance in construction
Download2021-01-01
Raoufi, Mohammad, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Purpose – This paper aims to cover the development of a methodology for hybrid fuzzy Monte Carlo agentbased simulation (FMCABS) and its implementation on a parametric study of construction crew performance. Design/methodology/approach – The developed methodology uses fuzzy logic, Monte Carlo...

Hybrid fuzzy system dynamics model for analyzing the impacts of interrelated risk and opportunity events on project contingency
Download2020-07-23
Siraj, Nasir B., Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Traditional risk analysis techniques are ineffective for capturing the dynamic causal interactions and subjective uncertainties involved in assessing risk and opportunity events since they treat risks independently and rely on the availability of sufficient historical data. In this paper, a...

Tiruneh, Getaneh Gezahegne, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
The majority of competency and performance modeling methods available in the literature are deterministic conceptual, statistical,and/or regression models that cannot capture the subjective uncertainty, complex, and nonlinear relationships inherent in construction, whichmakes accurate prediction...

Hybridization of Reinforcement Learning and Agent-Based Modeling to Optimize Construction Planning and Scheduling
Download2022-10-01
Kedir, Nebiyu Siraj, Somi, Sahand, Fayek, Aminah Robinson, Nguyen, Phuong
Decision-making in construction planning and scheduling is complex because of budget and resource constraints, uncertainty, and the dynamic nature of construction environments. A knowledge gap in the construction literature exists regarding decision-making frameworks with the ability to learn and...
