ABSTRACT
In Chapter 5 we developed a general mathematical model for
scheduling of the construction projects. The model can handle
various conditions such as repetitive and non-repetitive tasks, work
continuity considerations, multiple-crew strategies, and the effects
of varying job conditions on the performance of a crew. An
optimization formulation was presented for the construction project
scheduling problem with the goal of minimizing the direct
construction cost. In Chapter 6, the nonlinear optimization problem
was solved by the neural dynamics model of Adeli and Park.
