Permutation-Based Particle Swarm Optimization for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the light of particle swarm optimization (PSO) which utilizes both local and global experiences during search process, a permutation-based scheme for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is ...
Activity Object-Oriented Simulation Strategy for Modeling Construction Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of an object-oriented (OO) approach including the OO modeling concept and the OO programming mechanisms to develop an activity object-oriented (AOO) simulation strategy for modeling construction operations ...
Particle Swarm Optimization for Preemptive Scheduling under Break and Resource-Constraints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based methodology to implement preemptive scheduling under break and resource-constraints (PSBRC) for construction projects. The PSBRC under study allows the ...
Models for Assessing Hoisting Times of Tower Cranes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate assessment of hoisting times is crucial for planning construction activities. The objective of this paper is to develop reasonably accurate prediction models to assess hoisting times of tower cranes. Twenty variables ...
Project Dispute Resolution Satisfaction Classification through Neural Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an artificial neural network technique of analysis in determining the important factors affecting the outcome of construction dispute resolution processes in Hong Kong. Projects were classified as ...
Feng Shui and Its Impacts on Land and Property Developments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although there are many variables affecting the housing price of an area, only three significant independent variables (“Feng Shui,” “Accessibility,” and “Building Age”) are studied in this paper. It is found that the ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A case study describing the application of conflict analysis to a public engagement program of urban planning in Hong Kong is presented in this paper. The technique of conflict analysis is used to investigate the possible ...
Iconic Animation for Activity-based Construction Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper discusses the development of an animation tool for the activity-based construction (ABC) modeling and simulation system. The tool uses an activity-based network diagram, i.e., ABC simulation model, as the animation ...
Application of Fuzzy Logic to Simulation for Construction Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the application of fuzzy logic to discrete event simulation in dealing with uncertainties of construction operations. The uncertainties in the quantity of resources required to activate an activity are ...
