Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic classification for frameworks,
methods, and models of in-project quantitative risk analysis (IQRA) for the last 30 years …

Construction simulation, a fast-growing field, is the science of developing and experimenting
with computer-based representations of construction systems to understand their underlying …

This paper examines the characteristics of discrete-event simulation systems in terms of their
application breadth (general or special purpose), modeling paradigm (process interaction …

In construction, rework (redoing previously completed work) has a considerable impact on
project performance. As a result, construction managers often avoid rework on problematic …

A significant number of large-scale civil infrastructure projects experience cost overruns and
schedule delays. To minimize these disastrous consequences, management actions need to …

The just‐in‐time (JIT) approach to materials management appears to be superior to a just‐in‐
case (JIC) approach in terms of reducing cost and improving productivity under most …

A system for three-dimensional simulation and animation of erection processes is presented.
The system is aimed at providing detailed planning and visualization in a virtual construction …

Buffering is a common practice in project planning. Project managers or schedulers have
used a time contingency to guarantee the completion time of either an activity or a project …

This paper describes a stochastic simulation-based scheduling system (S3) that:(1)
integrates the deterministic critical path method (CPM), the probabilistic program evaluation …

Simulation modeling is important in predicting the productivity of construction operations and
the performance of project schedules. It would be desirable if operation and project models …
