Abstract:High-performance concrete (HPC) as a highly sophisticated aggregate in constructional projects has made modeling given mechanical properties a very complex problem. Declaring by many studies, mechanical features of HPC are not only characterized by the maximum size of coarse aggregate and water amount since influencing by the other components. Using fly-ash and silica fume as the key constituents can simultaneously increase the hardness aspects and the environmental effects. Considering the compressive strengt… Show more
Plenty of studies have been conducted on construction productivity currently. However, most of these studies focus on a specific aspect of construction productivity. For example, some studies may examine how precast concrete affects productivity, while others may explore the relationship between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and productivity. Unfortunately, there haven't been any studies that analyze all the factors that affect construction productivity and provide an outlook for the future. Thus, to fill this gap, in this paper, the authors use the Grounded Theory (GT) to code and analyze the literature, applying the principle of open coding and refinement from the original materials. The objective is to classify the factors that affect productivity in the construction industry and objectively reflect the development direction of productivity research within the industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
