Abstract
Quantitative risk analysis is usually ignored in construction risk management, although numerous techniques are available. One of the shortcomings of conventional quantitative risk analysis techniques is that they can only analyse either duration or cost risks. In view of this, an integrated duration-cost influence network that systematically represents the interdependencies among the duration and cost parameters of a construction task has been developed, and mathematical equations have been formulated to represent the dependencies. The generic structure of the influence network can be used for explicitly modelling risk impacts affecting any construction task, and the nature of risks can be investigated in the risk modelling process. In addition, risk impacts modelled can potentially be propagated through the influence network for quantifying the risk-adjusted task duration and cost simultaneously. Thus, the influence network provides the basis for performing integrated duration-cost risk modelling and simulation in future research.

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
