The aim of the study is to develop the 3D visualization of Building Information Model and integrated 4D model for optimization of resources in the construction project. This study discuss the process of methodology and creation of 4D model of the project and simulate it to monitor the workflow at the site. Different stages of the construction process and activities are generated by using Revit and MS Project. MS project has been used for creation of the schedules and these are linked with the Revit for 3D modeling. The time used as the fourth dimension and 4D model created by using Navisworks Time liner software. Narges shopping center is presented as a case study to realize the actual uses and benefits of Building Information Model (BIM). Narges shopping mall is located in Tehran, Iran. As a part of Hekmat master plan, Narges shopping center is an 11 stores building with a total area of 30000 Sq.m. This shopping and entertainment center is comprised of 150 retails and two multi-use public halls with a capacity of 400 persons each and underground parking with total 400 parking space. The main purpose of architecture was to create an urban public center along with its revolving, spiral like form and an ever changing continuous façade by means of different colors, materials, which is in harmony with the other building of the master plan. The approximate cost of the project is $17 million and duration of the project schedule is 30 months. The developed Building Information Model enabled us to identify the potential collisions or clashes between various structural and architectural systems. 4D model has been used for limiting the interaction between subcontractors installing the different systems so rework could be avoided and productivity maximized. It is also observed that the utility of BIM for construction stimulation and clash detection is the best suitable method. Clash detection before the implementation of work is highly recommended to avoid rework.

This paper presents a Stochastic Time-Cost Tradeoff analysis system (STCT) that identifies optimal construction methods for activities, hence reducing the project completion time and cost simultaneously. It makes use of schedule information obtained from critical path method (CPM), applies alternative construction methods data obtained from estimators to respective activities, computes an optimal set of genetic algorithm (GA) parameters, executes simulation based GA experiments, and identifies near optimal solution(s). A test case verifies the usability of STCT.

Earth-moving operation has a great impact on the overall budget and schedule of any heavy civil projects. More often than not, the operational decisions are made largely based on field personnel's experience and judgment. In particular, decisions on earth moving operations by scraper-dozer fleets have been heavily influenced by the following belief: "The longer a dozer pushes a scraper for loading, the better earth-moving productivity is gained by the fleet." Even though there is some truth to this notion, scraper-dozer earth moving operations involve a much complex process that requires a systematic analysis for predicting the maximum production. To this end, this paper presents a spreadsheet-based scraper-dozer fleet operation model for its production optimization. Various optimization techniques, including a genetic-algorithm method, are presented for comparison and each technique's pros and cons are discussed.

최근 건설공사의 규모와 복잡성이 현저하게 증가함에 따라 건설비용이 상승하게 되었다. 많은 건설공사가 날씨, 노동력 공급, 장비 구매, 사고 등과 같은 다양한 요소들로 인하여 당초 계획했던 공사기일 내에 완공되지 못하고 있다. 계획된 시간 내에 공사를 완공하기 위하여 돌관공사를 시행하여야 한다. 하지만 돌관공사를 위한 결정들이 현장 소장들의 경험에만 의지하고 있는 실정이다. 그러므로 이 논문은 작업조의 투입과 작업시간의 조합으로 생길 수 있는 다양한 돌관공사 시나리오 중 최적의 대안을 선정할 수 있는 TCTO 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 개발된 모델은 실무적인 제약조건을 만족시키는 최적의 공정계획을 제공할 수 있다. 더 나아가서 제안된 모델에 자원평준기능을 포함하게 되면 보다 실용적인 모델이 될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In a project schedule, it is possible to reduce the time required to complete a project by allocating extra resources for critical activities. However, accelerating a project causes additional expense. This issue is addressed by finding optimal set of time-cost alternatives and is known as the time-cost trade-off problem in the literature. The aim of this study is to identify the optimal set of time-cost alternatives using a multiobjective teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm integrated with the non-dominated sorting concept and is applied to successfully optimize the projects ranging from a small to medium large projects. Numerical simulations indicate that the utilized model searches and identifies optimal / near optimal trade-offs between project time and cost in construction engineering and management. Therefore, it is concluded that the developed TLBO-based multiobjective approach offers satisfactorily solutions for time-cost trade-off optimization problems.

This research study presents the development and application of an Elitist Genetic Algorithm (Elitist GA) for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, which is one of the most challenging problems in construction engineering. Main features of the developed algorithm are that the elitist roulette selection operator is developed to preserve the best individual solution for the next generation so as to obtain the improved solution, and that parallel schedule generation scheme is used to generate a feasible solution to the problem. The experimental results on standard problem sets indicate that the proposed algorithm not only produces reasonably good solutions to the problems over the heuristic method and other GA, but also can find the optimal and/or near optimal solutions for the large-sized problems with multiple resources within a reasonable amount of time that will be applicable to the construction industry. This paper will help researchers and/or practitioners in the construction project scheduling software area with alternative means to find the optimal schedules by utilizing the advantages of the Elitist GA.

알고리즘의 용이성과 전역적 최적해로의 수렴가능성 등의 이점을 가진 SA알고리즘은 구조최적화문제에 활발하게 적용되고 있으나 냉각스케줄의 설정, 모호한 종료기준, 과도한 반복해석 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 기존 SA알고리즘의 단점을 보완한 MSA 알고리즘을 개발하고자한다. MSA 알고리즘은 수렴에 요구되는 반복수를 감소시키고 국부최소점이 많은 동적최적화문제의 초기설계 선택의 자율성을 확보하기 위하여 SQ 및 SA의 2단계로 구성하여 개발하였다. 또한 기존 연구에서 제안된 냉각 스케줄에 의한 수렴성 등을 비교분석하여 구조최적화에 적합한 냉각스케줄을 제안하여 그 성능을 평면가새골조 구조물의 최적내진설계에 적용하여 분석하였다.

This paper presents optimal operational scheduling model and economic assessment of Li-ion battery energy storage systems installed in non-residential customers. The operation schedule of a BESS is determined to minimize electric bill, which is composed of demand and energy charges. Dynamic programming is introduced to solve the nonlinear optimization problem. Based on the optimal operation schedule result, the economics of a BESS are evaluated in the investor and the social perspective respectively. Calculated benefits in the investor or customer perspective are the savings of demand charge, energy charge, and related taxes. The social benefits include fuel cost savings of generating units, construction deferral effects of the generation capacity and T&D infra, and incremental CO2 emission cost impacts, etc. Case studies are applied to an large industrial customer that shows similarly repeated load patterns according to days of the week.

The objective of this research study is to develop the permutation-based genetic algorithm for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem in construction engineering by incorporating elitism into genetic algorithm. A key aspect of the algorithm was the development of the elitist roulette selection operator to preserve the best individual solution for the next generation so the improved solution can be obtained. Another notable characteristic is the application of the parallel schedule generation scheme to generate a feasible solution to the problem. Case studies with a standard test problem were presented to demonstrate the performance and accuracy of the algorithm. The computational results indicate that the proposed algorithm produces reasonably good solutions for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem.

도심지 건축 프로젝트가 초고층화, 대형화됨에 따라, 공사비와 공기의 관점에서 지하공사의 중요성은 점차 증가하고 있다. 지하공사 단계에서 대단히 중요한 것은 적정 말뚝공법을 선정하는 것이다. 그런데 말뚝공사의 경우, 공법 선정 시 고려해야 할 지반조건들이 많고, 불확실한 정보에 기반한 경험적인 공법선정이 이루어지기 때문에, 말뚝공법의 변경이 적지 않게 발생하며, 이것은 프로젝트의 공사비와 공기에 영향을 미친다 본 연구에서는 프로젝트의 설계단계에서 적정 말뚝공법을 선정하는데 활용하고, 시공전 단계에서 기 선정된 말뚝공법의 적정여부를 검증할 수 있는 말뚝공법 선정모델을 제안하였다. 실적데이터에 근간한 신경망 모델은 이미 그 효율성이 입증된 바 있다. 2000년부터 2004년까지 국내에서 시행된 150개의 데이터를 기초로 하여 말뚝공법 선정을 위한 신경망 모델을 개발하였다. 개발한 신경망 모델을 대상으로 학습용 자료에 의해 최적화를 실행하였으며, 그 유효성을 검증하였다.
