Han, F and Bogus, S M (2021) Resilience criteria for project delivery processes: An exploratory analysis for highway project development. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 147(11): 04021140, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Highway project delivery is a disruption-prone process in which resilience is essential to project success, because different project stages experience disruptions and struggle to reach desired project outcomes. A process to assess resilience in project delivery is necessary to be able to evaluate how a project may respond to disruptive events during the planning, design, and construction phases. Many practices in the literature can aid highway project delivery resilience through resistance, recovery, and adaptation. Through the use of survey data and principal component analysis (PCA), this large group of resilience practices was reduced to seven key resilience criteria for each stage of resilience. These resilience criteria form the basis for future resilience assessment of the project delivery process. The findings of this research add to the body of knowledge by providing a means to incorporate resilience assessment into highway project delivery, which eventually can improve the resiliency of completed infrastructure.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
