Parametric Range Estimating of Building Costs Using Regression Models and Bootstrap
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a bootstrap approach for integration of parametric and probabilistic cost estimation techniques. In the proposed method, a combination of regression analysis and bootstrap resampling technique is used ...
Pareto Front Particle Swarm Optimizer for Discrete Time-Cost Trade-Off Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Hybrid Optimization Method for Large-Scale Multimode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite many research efforts that have focused on the multimode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP), very little success has been achieved in solving the problem for large-scale projects. In this paper ...
Backward-Forward Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Resource-Constrained Multiproject Scheduling Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the fact that companies manage multiple projects simultaneously, most research on resource-constrained project scheduling has focused on single projects. This paper presents a backward-forward hybrid genetic algorithm ...
Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Simulated Annealing for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a very important optimization problem in construction project management. Despite the importance of the RCPSP in project scheduling and management, commercial ...
Construction Labor Productivity Modeling with Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction labor productivity is affected by several factors. Modeling of construction labor productivity could be challenging when effects of multiple factors are considered simultaneously. In this paper a methodology ...
Quantiative Methodology for Determination of Cost Contingency in International Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a quantitative methodology to determine financial impacts of the risk factors during the bidding stages of international construction projects. Project and country data of 26 construction projects from ...
Critical Sequence Crashing Heuristic for Resource-Constrained Discrete Time–Cost Trade-Off Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the importance of project deadlines and resource constraints in construction scheduling, very little success has been achieved in solving the resource-constrained discrete time–cost trade-off problem (RCDTCTP), ...
Critical Sequence Crashing Heuristic for Resource-Constrained Discrete Time–Cost Trade-Off Problem
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Despite the importance of project deadlines and resource constraints in construction scheduling, very little success has been achieved in solving the resource-constrained discrete time–cost trade-off problem (RCDTCTP), ...
Activity Uncrashing Heuristic with Noncritical Activity Rescheduling Method for the Discrete Time-Cost Trade-Off Problem
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Despite intensive research efforts that have been devoted to discrete time-cost optimization of construction projects, the current methods have very limited capabilities for solving the problem for real-life–sized projects. ...
