"Construction site layout optimization model considering cost and safet" by Kamal Jaafar, Raghda Elbarkouky et al.
Abstract The construction industry is a complex field that requires lots of planning to succeed. The first step of planning in a construction project is planning the construction site layout. This paper develops a model formulation to optimize the construction site layout from the perspective of cost and risk. The developed optimization model also takes into consideration the dynamic environment of a construction site. That is, it demonstrates the situation that occurs in reality, since facilities, locations and their dimensions may vary throughout construction stages. The model aims to minim...
