Production Rate Determination for Linear Construction Projects Based on Linear Scheduling Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional scheduling methods such as CPM or PERT have been found to be inappropriate for scheduling the linear construction projects. According to the limitations of Traditional scheduling methods, Linear Scheduling Method (LSM) is proposed specifically for linear construction projects. Aiming at overcoming the limitations of network technology in deciding the production rate of linear construction projects, basing on LSM with its mathematical principle, this paper proposes a new method to decide the production rate of linear construction projects. This paper first analyses the parameters of linear scheduling method and their interrelationships, such as distance interval, time interval, activity, CAP determination of LSM. Then it gives determination method of production rate and the rate float. The determination method can increase the effectiveness of production rate input and output data for the linear projects, which will significantly improve the resource allocation. It also draws the effect of production rate float in the construction schedule control.

متن کاملTBM Tunneling Construction Time with Respect to Learning Phase Period and Normal Phase Period
In every tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling project, there is an initial low production phase so-called the Learning Phase Period (LPP), in which low utilization is experienced and the operational parameters are adjusted to match the working conditions. LPP can be crucial in scheduling and evaluating the final project time and cost, especially for short tunnels for which it may constitute a ...

متن کاملTime Prediction Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Model for Projects in the Construction Industry
This paper presents a prediction model based on a new neuro-fuzzy algorithm for estimating time in construction projects. The output of the proposed prediction model, which is employed based on a locally linear neuro-fuzzy (LLNF) model, is useful for assessing a project status at different time horizons. Being trained by a locally linear model tree (LOLIMOT) learning algorithm, the model is int...
