Real-time events extremely disrupt the integrity of project schedules. The presence and implementation of a predefined Dynamic Scheduling strategy to mitigate these disruptions is a must for the successful implementation of projects planning. Despite of the wide practical applications of dynamic scheduling in various industries, especially manufacturing and computer engineering, there is a gap ...

Construction industry faces a lot of inherent uncertainties and issues. As this industry is plagued by risk, risk management is an important part of the decision-making process of these companies. Risk assessment is the critical procedure of risk management. Despite many scholars and practitioners recognizing the risk assessment models in projects, insufficient attention has been paid by resear...

changes are inevitable in construction projects. they could lead to disruptive impacts on the quality, schedule and budget of projects. identifying changes and anticipating their consequences can help project teams mitigate these negative impacts. as a result, a change process model has been defined to improve this procedure. at first the present paper the defines some of the key terms in this ...

This study attempts to validate a safety performance (SP) measurement model in the cross-cultural setting of a developing country. In addition, it highlights the variations in investigating the relationship between safety climate (SC) factors and SP indicators. The data were collected from forty under-construction multi-storey building projects in Pakistan. Based on the results of exploratory f...

This is a study about transferring technology from Iranian universities to Iranian industry. The relationship between universities and industry is much weaker in Iran than it is in developed countries. Most of the Iranian universities have used the model of western universities, but this model does not seem to be able to solve the problems of Iranian industry. The connection between universitie...

A successful construction industry is essential to us all. Benefits from efficiently constructed buildings and infrastructures are well known and we all benefit from them. If we are prepared to challenge the waste and poor performance arising from existing practices and focus efforts on delivering the value that our customers need we can attain and sustain continuos improvement in the industry....

The construction industry is one of the biggest and most active sectors of the European Union (EU), consuming more raw materials and energy than any other economic activity. Furthermore, construction waste is the commonest waste produced in the EU. Current EU legislation sets out to implement construction and demolition waste (CDW) prevention and recycling measures. However it lacks tools to ac...

In the furniture and construction industries, there is increased demand for lightweight, high-performance, and low-maintenance materials with specific properties. Increased demand necessitates testing of new and composite materials to find a viable alternatives to classical materials. In this study, two different types of cork layered plywood composites (plywood board with a cork core (PLYW-K1)...
