Abstract

Abstract Many risks have adverse consequences for construction projects’ objectives such as quality, schedule, and cost. As engineering procurement construction (EPC) contracts gradually become one of the most common types used in implementing major large-scale construction projects, identifying common risk types and analyzing their root causes is important for developing measures to decrease and eliminate future risks in these types of contracts. The information about the main causes of risks was collected via well-structured questionnaires addressed to construction sector professionals and preparing lists of main potential risks in EPC/construction projects through reviewing literature studies, books, and articles related to this topic. The findings indicate that several causes of risks are more critical for the project including causes related to contract, design and execution, subcontractors, systems, and equipment. The study’s results revealed that the absence of risk management implementation in the EPC construction project is a root cause of the lack of planning and control of the project.

识别建设项目工程采购风险的主要原因

许多风险对建设项目的质量、进度、成本等目标产生不利影响。随着工程采购施工(EPC)合同逐渐成为大型建设项目实施中最常见的合同类型之一，识别常见的风险类型并分析其产生的根本原因，对于制定降低和消除此类合同未来风险的措施具有重要意义。通过对建筑行业专业人员进行结构合理的问卷调查，并通过查阅相关的文献研究、书籍和文章，编制EPC/建筑项目主要潜在风险清单，收集有关主要风险原因的信息。研究结果表明，风险的几个原因对项目来说更为关键，包括与合同、设计和执行、分包商、系统和设备相关的原因。研究结果表明，EPC建设项目缺乏风险管理实施是导致项目缺乏规划和控制的根本原因。

期刊介绍： The journal focuses on the micromechanics and nanomechanics of materials, the relationship between structure and mechanical properties, material instabilities and fracture, as well as size effects and length/time scale transitions. Articles on cutting edge theory, simulations and experiments – used as tools for revealing novel material properties and designing new devices for structural, thermo-chemo-mechanical, and opto-electro-mechanical applications – are encouraged. Synthesis/processing and related traditional mechanics/materials science themes are not within the scope of JMBM. The Editorial Board also organizes topical issues on emerging areas by invitation. Topics Metals and Alloys Ceramics and Glasses Soils and Geomaterials Concrete and Cementitious Materials Polymers and Composites Wood and Paper Elastomers and Biomaterials Liquid Crystals and Suspensions Electromagnetic and Optoelectronic Materials High-energy Density Storage Materials Monument Restoration and Cultural Heritage Preservation Materials Nanomaterials Complex and Emerging Materials.
