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 ... -
Spatial Statistical and Multivariate Regression Approach to Earthwork Shrinkage-Factor Calculation
(North Dakota State University, 2013)In this research, a linear shrinkage factor model, which is the result of spatial and statistical modeling, was developed for the state of North Dakota. The input variables for the developed shrinkage factor models were ... -
Stochastic Characterization, Simulation, and Analysis of Environmental (Precipitation and Temperature) Inputs into the M-E Design Framework
(North Dakota State University, 2010)The engineering design of pavements is a complex process requiring regular updating and calibration to produce durable and resilient road surfaces. To achieve this goal, research is conducted continuously to obtain input ... -
Study on Compaction Moisture Range Specifications of North Dakota State and Development of Empirical Equations for Predicting Compaction Characteristics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Stability of soil plays an important role in the construction of engineering structures like pavements, buildings, embankments, dams, etc. Compaction is the process where proper stability of soil is ensured with required ... -
Studying Window Energy Performance Using Thermal Camera
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Windows, which are responsible for 45% of overall heat loss, play a major role in a building’s energy performance. Therefore, it is critical to measure window energy performance for existing buildings. This study aimed to ... -
Workers' Compensation Modeling Using Multiple Regression
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Workers’ compensation insurance (WCI) is the highest cost to an employer following accidents. It is needed to predict the benefits value without taking into account the past records of an employee, which is not readily ...
