hoosing the appropriate site is important in the construction of units such as agricultural processing industries. In this study, we try to determine the factors affecting the exploitation of the agricultural processing industries and measure the share of location as one of the important issues in locating research. The 2572 data were collected from the Agricultural Jihad Organization of Mazand...

tower cranes are major and expensive equipment that are extensively used at building construction projects and harbors for lifting heavy objects to demand points. the tower crane locating problem to position a tower crane and supply points in a building construction site for supplying all requests in minimum time, has been raised from more than twenty years ago. this problem has already been so...

A preliminary survey of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in the southeastern United States is presented. MCSs are identified and characterized by means of high-resolution, digital, composite radar reflectivity data. Surveys of this kind are needed to give forecasters better guidance in their real-time assessment of MCS evolution, severe weather potential, and quantitative precipitation. The ...

The rapid development of Off-site Construction (OSC) has closely linked it to Lean (LC). importance design been highlighted in LC as the primary means produce value clients. However, adoption lean thinking is still modest design. Although most research target theories and their or OSC, there limited understanding terminological cross-sectoral problems without sufficiently considering different ...

Abstract The construction industry has been identified as one of the most dangerous when examining safety performance and outcomes. concept leveraging off-site a safer alternative to execute works presented by researchers industry, but support for this premise with quantifiable data is lacking. To investigate differences in versus conventional on-site methods, research developed evaluation meth...
