Diagnosis of Covid-19 impact on the construction employment
Effect of Anti-Price Gouging Law on Postdisaster Recovery Speed
In the wake of a disaster, the price of essential goods and services, including reconstruction materials and labor, sharply increases. Price gouging refers to sellers and supply companies charging exorbitant prices for necessary items to take advantage of spikes in demand. Thirty-seven states out of fifty in the US have legislation regulating price gouging, regarded as an unfair or deceptive trade practice during a disaster or emergency. Consumer…
Characterizing relationship between demand surge and post-disaster reconstruction capacity considering poverty rates
Impact of Covid-19 on the Diversity of the Construction Workforce
Construction industry employment has been severely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US construction labor market. This study contributes to the state of knowledge by (1) revealing how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted construction employment across different demographic groups and geographic regions in the US, and (2) identifying vulnerable demographic groups (e.g., minor…
GIS-Based Data Integration Approach for Rainfall-Induced Slope Failure Susceptibility Mapping in Clayey Soils
Roadside slopes in clayey soils with high swelling and shrinkage potential are prone to rainfall-induced shallow slope failures. Identification of slope segments susceptible to rainfall-induced failures helps transportation agencies minimize the impact of slope failures on highway transportation systems. Publicly available datasets on slope stability variables provide an unprecedented opportunity to assess the condition of the slopes along highwa…
Diagnosis and Quantification of Postdisaster Construction Material Cost Fluctuations
The postdisaster survival of communities and cities largely depends on their capabilities to rapidly reconstruct damages. Temporary increases in construction costs following natural hazards, also known as demand surge, impede the rapid postdisaster reconstruction process. Existing methods for quantifying postdisaster construction cost escalations do not consider seasonal patterns and inflation of costs under normal conditions. Therefore, it is no…
Characterizing Construction Demand Surge Using Spatial Panel Data Models
The socioeconomic losses in the aftermath of large-scale natural disasters have increased dramatically over the last few decades. The postdisaster survival of cities and communities depend on their capabilities to reconstruct and repair damage to buildings and other infrastructure systems following large-scale natural disasters. The significant postdisaster increases in the repair costs, also referred to as demand surge, slows down the repair pro…
