Abstract: This paper presents a model designed to integrate the planning and scheduling phases of highway construction projects, focusing primarily on the planning aspects. The model automatically generates the work breakdown structure ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model, designed to optimize scheduling of linear projects. The model employs a two-state-variable,

Abstract: This paper describes a forecasting method for predicting potential cost overruns and schedule delays on construction projects. The output of the forecasting method is useful in evaluating the project status at different ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for the periodic detection of defects in concrete bridges based on a set of dimensionless metrics pertinent to fractal analysis of digital images. Visual inspection and image subtraction ...
