چکیده
Eight successively refined simulation models for the earthmoving operations involved in the construction of a dam provide the foundation for illustrating the ease and effectiveness of modeling complex construction processes by using STROBOSCOPE, a modern simulation system based on a programming language that follows the activity-scanning paradigm. This approach and the use of characterized resources in a stochastic environment make the typical engineering calculations for heavy equipment performance relatively easy to implement and significantly more realistic and accurate.

Evaluation of Alternative Construction Processes Using Simulation
The comparison of alternative construction methods is one of the principal reasons for using simulation to model construction processes. The efficiency and effectiveness of such comparisons can be greatly improved by the prudent use of “matched pairs,” a variance reduction technique based on dedicated and fully synchronized random number streams. The basic methodology is illustrated by using th...

متن کاملEvaluation of General-Purpose Construction Simulation and Visualization tools for Modeling and Animating AirSide Airport Operations
This paper illustrates how simulation modeling and visualization can be of substantial help in studying airside airport operations, and can greatly contribute in planning and designing construction operations at airports in a way that has the least impact on airside operations. The characteristic that distinguishes the current work is the capability to model and animate airside airport operatio...

An integrated simulation-DEA approach to multi-criteria ranking of scenarios for execution of operations in a construction project
The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...
