Simulation Applications in Construction Site Layout Planning
In the planning phase of every construction project, layout of temporary facilities is a crucial task; site layout can affect safety, travel cost and time, construction productivity, and space utilization. However, site layout planning can be a complicated problem, due to the interdependency of influencing factors. Although interaction among activities is one of the major drivers of site layout...
متن کاملProcess Plan Optimization using a Genetic Algorithm
In this paper we present our ongoing research project GAPO (Genetic Algorithm Process Optimization) that focuses on the development of an optimization module for process plans. GAPO is part of a 4D-Toolbox that conflates different modules for the 4D planning of construction projects. Among other modules, the 4D-Toolbox consists of a DES (Discrete Event Simulator) that automatically sequences ac...
متن کاملAn Improved Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Construction Site Layout Problems
Meta-heuristic algorithms proved to find optimal solutions for combinatorial problems in many domains. Nevertheless, the efficiency of these algorithms highly depends on their parameter settings. In fact, finding appropriate settings of the algorithm’s parameters is considered to be a nontrivial task and is usually set manually to values that are known to give reasonable performance. In this pa...
متن کاملFixture Layout Optimization Using Element Strain Energy and Genetic Algorithm
The stiffness of the workpiece is very important to reduce the errors in manufacturing process. The high stiffness of the workpiece can be achieved by optimal positioning of fixture elements in the fixture. The minimization of the sum of the nodal deflection normal to the surface is used as objective function in previous research. The deflection in other direction has been neglected. The 32-1 f...
متن کاملFixture Layout Optimization for Large Metal Sheets Using Genetic Algorithm
The geometric errors in the manufacturing process can be reduced by optimal positioning of the fixture elements in the fixture to make the workpiece stiff. We propose a new fixture layout optimization method N-3-2-1 for large metal sheets in this paper that combines the genetic algorithm and finite element analysis. The objective function in this method is to minimize the sum of the nodal defle...
