Using Continuous Construction Performance Measurement as a Strategic Tool for Organisational Competitiveness (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The current organisational over-reliance on the use of metrics and indicators that are based only on tangible assets, and financial capital, for the measurement of construction performance has proven to be inadequate for the highly complex and dynami...

A gauge modification-based railway out-of-gauge freight transportation route decision-making methodology (2023)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Liu, J., An, M., & Wang, J. (2023). A gauge modification-based railway out-of-gauge freight transportation route decision-making methodology. Alexandria engineering journal : AEJ, 68, 181-195. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aej.2023.01.009

The loading outline of railway out-of-gauge freight (ROF) is beyond the railway gauge due to its larger size. The choice of a safe and economical transportation route according to the characteristics of the freights in the railway network becomes an...

The development of a sustainability risk assessment model for construction projects: a case study on the Jordanian construction industry (2022)
Thesis
Al sheikh salem, Y. The development of a sustainability risk assessment model for construction projects: a case study on the Jordanian construction industry. (Thesis). University of Salford

The construction industry has significant environmental effects. Jordan is one of the countries in the world that is dealing with population growth, a shortage of resources, and unrestricted pollution, for this reason, the construction industry plays...

Railway out-of-gauge cargo transportation route selection method considering gauge modification (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The size of railway out-of-gauge cargo is large, and the loading outline will exceed the railway gauges. In the actual transportation organization, how to choose a safe and economic transportation route is an important issue in the transportation of...

A methodology for strategy-oriented project portfolio selection taking dynamic synergy into considerations (2021)
Journal Article
Bai, L., Bai, J., & An, M. (2021). A methodology for strategy-oriented project portfolio selection taking dynamic synergy into considerations. Alexandria engineering journal : AEJ, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aej.2021.11.056

The selection of an optimal project portfolio from multiple project proposals to implement management strategy is always a challenge task for project managers, especially, in the selection of large-scale and complicated projects. This is particular t... Read More about A methodology for strategy-oriented project portfolio selection taking dynamic synergy into considerations.

A hierarchical Bayesian-based model for hazard analysis of climate effect on failures of railway turnout components (2021)
Journal Article

There has been a considerable increase in derailment investigations, in particular at railway turnouts (RTs), as the majority of derailments lead to lengthy disruptions to the appropriate rail operation and catastrophic consequences, being potentiall...

A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa (2020)
Thesis
Nsibande, C. A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa. (Thesis). University of Salford

Over a period of time, the researcher observed that real estate investment decisions were made under uncertainty in sub-Saharan Africa, and that this was due to unreliable and outdated economic and market data. The phenomenological study was an inves... Read More about A phenomenological study on decision-making under uncertainty in real estate investments in sub-Saharan Africa.
