Construction projects are often deemed as complex and high-risk endeavours, mostly because of their vulnerability to external conditions as well as project-related uncertainties. Risk management (RM) is a critical success factor for companies operating in the construction industry. RM is a knowledge-intensive process that requires effective management of risk-related knowledge. Although some research has already been conducted to develop tools to support knowledge-based RM processes, most of these tools ignore some critical features, such as live knowledge capture, web-based platform for knowledge sharing and effective case retrieval for learning from past projects. Moreover, several RM phases, such as risk identification, analysis, response and monitoring are not usually integrated. Thus, this study aims to bridge these gaps by developing a knowledge-based RM tool (namely, CBRisk) via case-based reasoning (CBR). CBRisk has been developed as a web-based tool that supports the cyclic RM process and utilises an effective case retrieval method considering a comprehensive list of project similarity features in the form of fuzzy linguistic variables. Finally, the developed tool was evaluated and validated by conducting black-box testing and expert review meeting. Results demonstrated that CBRisk has a considerable potential to enhance the effectiveness of RM in construction projects and may be used in other project-based industries with minimal modifications.

Incorporating complexity into risk management:an integrated risk assessment process formega construction projects
Erol, H. Hüseyin; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-12-11)
Complexity and risk are inherent components of mega construction projects due to their unique characteristics. However, existing project management practices fail to incorporate complexity-based thinking into risk management. The lack of integration between complexity and other risk-related concepts leads to unrealistic risk assessments, ineffective management strategies, and poor project performance, which decrease the belief in risk management as a value-adding process in projects....
An exploratory study on utilization of BIM for risk management
Kaya, Hazal Deniz; Dikmen, İrem; Atasoy, Güzide; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi; 2020-11-14)
It is a well-known fact that BIM application in construction projects enables several advantages such as better collaboration and communication, effective project visualization before construction, more efficient cost estimation and scheduling, and an increase in productivity. Although many of these advantages that BIM contributes to construction projects may result in opportunities for better risk management, there are limited studies in the construction management literature that investigate this subject....
A Relational Database for Construction Delay
Bilgin, Gözde; Eken, Görkem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2015-05-30)
Construction projects are open to risks due to their multi-partied, environmentally dependent and complex nature. Unexpected situations generally lead to delays resulting considerable time and money losses. This makes delay and delay analysis to be the core subject matter during execution of construction projects. Therefore project participants should not only be focused on project control but also be able to clarify some project specific issues at the planning stage. At this point, past project data may be...
A Prototype Risk Management Decision Support Tool for Construction Projects
Arıkan, Ae; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2009-09-30)
Although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to RM concept and the number of support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. Decision support tools are necessary for the systematic identification of risks, scenario generation, and proactive management of risk and integration of RM activities with other project management functions. The aim of this study is to int...
An Integrated regression-bootstrap sampling scheduling method for probabilistic duration range estimation of construction projects
Barış, Özgür; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
The estimation of project duration is important in construction projects, since it directly affects the costs and the success of the projects. Schedule risks can be determined along with the duration estimations in order to assess the possibility of delay penalties and additional costs. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimation of project duration range is very crucial in construction industry to assess the schedule risks. This thesis presents an integrated approach of non-parametric bootstrap sampling meth...
