Abstract: This paper presents a linear programming model for solution of the time-cost tradeoff problem. Although several analytical models have been developed for time-cost optimization (TCO), many of them mainly focused on projects ...

Abstract: Investigations undertaken to understand the mechanics of the motion of large sandbags and to compute their trajectories are reported in this paper, along with the details of the experimental setup and procedures. The motion ...

Abstract: The research reported in this paper presents an attempt to improve the modeling of imperfections in steel structures using a finite-element approach with particular discretization. This approach, termed the modified ...
