TLDR
Preliminary indications show that Fuzzy Set Theory is a viable technology for modelling, assessing and managing global risk factors affecting construction cost performance and thus a fuzzy decision framework for risk management can be successfully developed.

Identification of the uncertain events impacting on construction time of south african highway projects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the uncertain events encountered in the construction process of highway projects in South Africa, so as to evaluate their impact on the construction time of such projects.

Global risk factors affecting performance of construction firms in Abuja, Nigeria

TL;DR: In this article, a study assessed the Global Risk Factors (GRFs) affecting performance of Nigerian construction firms, with a view to identifying the most severe and appropriate risk response techniques.

An Assessment of Project Risk Management in the Construction of Telecommunication Towers

Moses Tetteh
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how telecommunication operators identify, measure and manage risks in cell site construction projects in Ghana and found that the expected net present value (ENPV) and expected monitory value (EMV) are the most prevalent quantitative techniques used to identify and measure risks as "rule of thumb" is used qualitatively.

A mathematical theory of evidence

Glenn Shafer
TL;DR: This book develops an alternative to the additive set functions and the rule of conditioning of the Bayesian theory: set functions that need only be what Choquet called "monotone of order of infinity." and Dempster's rule for combining such set functions.
