Optimizing Location of New Public Schools in Town Planning Considering Supply and Demand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Schools are some of the most critical public facilities in urban and metropolitan areas. The location of schools not only affects the costs of construction and travel but also significantly affects the social welfare of ...
Location Optimization of Tower Crane and Allocation of Material Supply Points in a Construction Site Considering Operating and Rental Costs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Comparative Modeling Approach to Capture the Differences in BIM Adoption Decision-Making Process in Australia and China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The growing rate of building information modeling (BIM) adoption inevitability adds to the importance of understanding the BIM adoption decision-making process. Several models based on systematic surveys are available in ...
Optimal Work Assignment to Multiskilled Resources in Prefabricated Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiskilling allows for dynamic reallocation of workers from one stage of production to another in response to bottleneck configurations and, therefore, has been advocated as a potential strategy to improve productivity ...
Bilevel Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Model for Solving the Single Airport Location Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the airport facility location problem considering environmental impacts and induced changes to traffic on the underlying road network. An optimization model is developed, where multiple objectives are ...
Incorporating Multiskilling and Learning in the Optimization of Crew Composition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of multiskilled workers in a crew can increase the crew’s productivity through reducing inefficiencies and supervision requirements, while also providing on-the-job learning opportunities for single-skilled ...
Job Assignment Based on Brain Demands and Human Resource Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Accounting for Transport Times in Planning Off-Site Shipment of Construction Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Off-site transportation of construction materials is planned commonly by considering the transportation costs as the dominant decision variable. Despite the significant impact of delays in the delivery of materials on the ...
A Computational Method for Estimating Travel Frequencies in Site Layout Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Optimizing the layout of facilities on a construction site to minimize the material handling costs has been widely investigated in the literature. An integral part of the objective function utilized in the previously ...
