A key point in value engineering (VE) methodology is to acquire and apply knowledge of the assorted fields. An appropriate definition of VE expert knowledge flow could, therefore, yield more productive VE workshops. A conceptual expert case-based reasoning (CBR) framework is introduced in this...

Uncertainties should be considered in any time-cost trade-off problems when minimizing project cost and duration, which leads to the so-called stochastic time-cost trade-off problem. A new approach to investigate stochastic time-cost trade-off problems employing fuzzy logic theory is presented....

The complex structure of construction project risks arises from their internal and external interactions with their dynamic nature throughout the life cycle of the project. A system dynamics (SD) approach to construction project risk management is presented, including risk analysis and response...
