The Use of Operational Models to Evaluate Construction Staging Plans, A Case Study
Construction staging has traditionally been a process of identifying the critical "measured" demand and designing staging plans to ensure that sufficient capacity exists within the construction zone … [Read more...] about The Use of Operational Models to Evaluate Construction Staging Plans, A Case Study
Validation of a Model for Predicting Schedule Changes in Highway Work Zones-Case Studies
There are currently no standard or accepted methods in the construction industry to calculate the probable impact of indirect cost factors on the schedule of highway work zone projects. This paper … [Read more...] about Validation of a Model for Predicting Schedule Changes in Highway Work Zones-Case Studies
