Pragmatism’s Constructive Project

2014
Among the many strengths of The Pragmatic Turn are Richard Bernstein’s understanding of and sympathy with a large number of voices within the broad pragmatist tradition, his ability to set those voices in conver- sation with one another, and his keen ear for the moments at which they start to bluster or to mumble or simply to dry up altogether.

Ethics in construction project briefing

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2004
The research reported in this paper set out to investigate ethics in the initial stages of construction projects. Briefing is the first real contact stage between the commissioner (client/employer) of a project--at this stage a potential project--and those involved in project realization--the designers and, subsequently, the constructors.

Constructing the Infimum of Two Projections

2012
An elementary algorithm for computing the infimum of two projections in a Hilbert space is examined constructively. It is shown that in order to obtain a constructive convergence proof for the algorithm, one must add some hypotheses such as Markov's principle or the locatedness of a certain range; and that in the finite-dimensional case, the existence ...

Calculation of contingency in construction projects

IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 2003
This paper presents a probabilistic model that considers the random nature of change orders and their impact on the cost and schedule of a construction project. The model incorporates uncertainties in project cost and schedule and calculates the contingency based on the level of confidence specified by the owner.

From Construction Project Success to Integrated Construction Project Selection

Construction Research Congress 2010, 2010
It is noted that project success and project selection and their corresponding criteria and factors have been treated as two separate project management topics. Project success and project selection have not been related to each other yet, but according to our research, they share at least fourteen common traits. This paper seeks to identify the common

The ART of compiler construction projects

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2003
Student projects in compiler construction courses are often limited to the implementation of toy languages, making the project's scope manageable but also restricting the number of interesting input programs. ART (Array Removal Transformation) is a language whose compiler translates array-based ART programs into array-less toy language programs which ...

Injury minimization in construction projects

Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2004
Over many years, a great deal of effort has gone into reducing the number of people who are killed and injured as a result of performing construction work. Despite countless health and safety initiatives and campaigns, the industry remains dangerous. We believe that there are more effective ways of improving the safety of construction work.

Project designers' role in improving constructability of Indonesian construction projects

Construction Management and Economics, 2007
The concept of constructability in the US evolved from studies into how improvement can be achieved to increase cost efficiency and quality in the construction industry. It is an approach that links the design and construction processes. Studies in the US, UK and Australia have demonstrated that improved constructability has led to significant savings ...

Applying Lean Construction to Construction Project

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Lean construction is aimed to improve construction performance by eliminating wastes that do not add value to the customer. This project studies lean construction and its application in concrete construction projects at both the operation and project levels. In conjunction with a concrete contractor, actual concrete construction projects were observed,
