Project Time and Cost Control Using Building Information Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Although the construction industry has been evolving for centuries and researchers have been seeking innovative solutions for decades, diverse challenges still exist in making the construction process faster, safer, cheaper ...
Characterization of Properties of Mortars Containing Clay Brick Aggregate
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Recycling clay brick becomes extremely urgent with the demolishment of residential buildings, and the most common processing option of clay brick waste is buried in landfills which lead to serious environmental pollution. ...
Comparing Cooling of Warm Mix to Hot Mix Asphalts
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Warm mix asphalt (WMA) is increasingly being tried in highway paving in the United States. Apart from environmental benefits, WMA is being considered useful in projects involving long haul distances and late season paving ...
Identification of Factors Contributing to Traffic Fatalities in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Traffic accidents not only cause injuries and deaths but also result in significant property and economic losses. With annual 40,000 lives lost in United States and $80 billion in economic losses, research in minimizing ...
Developing an Interactive Model to Integrate Human Expertise with Building Information Modelling (BIM) Software
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Considering the significant amount of time and money wasted yearly in fixing errors caused by miscommunication and inadequate information on project sites, relaying the knowledge of field experts through design software ...
Environmental and Economic Outlook of Construction and Demolition Waste Management Practices in a Mid-Sized City
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) left at landfill sites increases the burden on landfills, which are increasingly becoming scarce and costly to operate. In North Dakota, CDW generated is disposed of at the Fargo ...
Investigating the Effect of Temperature and Lighting on Learning Performance of Students Using Physiological Responses
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Temperature and lighting level are relatively important parameters of indoor environment in a university classroom because they affect students' learning performance. Previous research primarily focused on analyzing students' ...
Social and Psychological Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Construction Projects
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
As the construction workers were impacted during the Covid-19 period from social distancing to eventual lack of human interaction, it is necessary to understand the changed social and psychological states of construction ...
Conceptual Cost Estimation of Highway Earthwork Construction in Iowa Using Spatial Statistical Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Estimating cost at the conceptual phase of highway earthwork construction projects is challenging owing to the limited amount of information present at the initial stages. Methods that have been applied in the past to ...
The Suitability of Warm Mix Asphalt for Use in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Compared to hot mix asphalt (HMA), warm mix asphalt (WMA) offers several potential
benefits, including reduced fossil fuel use and increased workability. The research
presented in this paper examined the suitability of ...
