Exploring the multidimensional challenges in integrating Design for Safety (DfS) in the Ghanaian construction industry (2024)
Journal Article

Purpose: The uptake of Design for Safety (DfS) practices in developing countries like Ghana has been limited. This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the barriers across regulatory, organizational, cultural and educational dimensions...

Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications (2024)
Journal Article

Studies have demonstrated that a minute quantity of graphene is sufficient to boost cement characteristics, but the attainment of good dispersion and uniformity of the resultant graphene-cement mixture remains a challenge. To alleviate these challeng... Read More about Experimental and operations viability assessment of powder-to-powder (P2P) mixture of graphene and cement for industrial applications.

Towards developing a predictive model for interpersonal communication quality in construction projects: An ensemble artificial intelligence-based approach (2024)
Journal Article

High-quality communication among stakeholders is salient to securing and maintaining collaboration in construction projects. Indeed, the absence of such communication among the workforce leads to inefficiency, low productivity, and substandard delive...

The potential of construction robotics to reduce airborne virus transmission in the construction industry in the UK and China (2024)
Journal Article

This paper aims to identify construction robotics' potential to reduce airborne virus transmission, review factors limiting the technology's adoption and highlight how similar barriers have been addressed in other industries. Construction robotics we... Read More about The potential of construction robotics to reduce airborne virus transmission in the construction industry in the UK and China.

Assessment of safety climate perception of maintenance workers during major overhauls, outages, shutdowns or turnarounds (MoOSTs) (2024)
Journal Article

Maintenance activities are used to sustain the reliability of physical industrial assets. However, studies indicate that some of the most devastating industrial accidents are attributable to poor safety perceptions of maintenance workers, especially...
