Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Control Risk for Multimode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems under Hybrid Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk control in project management has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. This paper proposes an approach based on a risk-assessment program and demonstrates how this can be extended to enhance the multimode ...
Comparative Study on the Key Issues of Postearthquake Recovery and Reconstruction Planning: Lessons from the United States, Japan, Iran, and China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Frequent catastrophic earthquakes have highlighted the significance of postearthquake recovery and reconstruction (PERR) planning, a dynamic and inclusive process which encourages the building of more resilient communities. ...
Applying Optimal Control Model to Dynamic Equipment Allocation Problem: Case Study of Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dam Construction Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an optimization method for solving a dynamic equipment allocation problem (DEAP) encountered during the implementation of a concrete-faced rockfill dam construction project. In contrast to prior studies, ...
Estimation of Time for Wenchuan Earthquake Reconstruction in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Time is considered extremely urgent in China’s Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction. However, little research has been undertaken on estimating the time needed for reconstruction in China, especially for this specific ...
Suggestions for Temporary Construction Facilities’ Layout Problems in Large-Scale Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Temporary construction facilities’ layout problems (TCFLPs) are crucial in large-scale construction projects. Well-designed TCFLPs can improve overall effectiveness and facilitate an efficient construction process. This ...
Applying Multiobjective Bilevel Optimization under Fuzzy Random Environment to Traffic Assignment Problem: Case Study of a Large-Scale Construction Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article presents an optimization method for solving a material flow traffic assignment problem (TAP) in a large-scale construction project considering a hierarchical structure with fuzzy random variables. A multiobjective ...
Hybrid Nested Particle Swarm Optimization for a Waste Load Allocation Problem in River System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of this article is to develop a hybrid nested particle swarm optimization to solve a Pigovian tax-based waste load allocation problem for river systems. The river system at the Tuojiang River basin is the prototype ...
Reverse Logistics Network-Based Multiperiod Optimization for Construction and Demolition Waste Disposal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Environmental pollution and resource consumption caused by construction and demolition waste (CDW) have become increasingly serious. As a result, it is urgent to focus on waste recycling, resource conservation, and ...
Bilevel Optimization of Regional Water Resources Allocation Problem under Fuzzy Random Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The allocation of water resources has long been recognized as a critical optimization problem. In this study, a bilevel programming model with fuzzy random variables is developed for tackling a regional water resources ...
