Construction simulation is the science of developing and experimenting with computer-
based representations of construction systems to understand their underlying behavior. This …

This paper discusses a new approach that will facilitate the use of simulation in the
construction industry. Previous attempts in this regard have been hampered by the gap …

Abstract Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a highly promising technique for achieving
digitalization in the construction industry, widely used in modern construction projects for …

Researchers have successfully implemented system simulation concepts for the design and
analysis of construction operations over the past two decades. A number of simulation …

Large scale earthmoving operations require the use of heavy and costly construction
equipment. Optimum utilization of equipment is a crucial task for the project management …

As the degree of complexity in construction systems increases, the concepts of construction
simulation must be advanced and formalized in practice as the primary means for designing …

Abstract Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) models are constructed from sequential duration-
based activities. DES is used in modeling several construction operations including …

In this paper, we survey algorithms that allocate a parallel program represented by an edge-
weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG), also called a task graph or macro-dataflow graph, to …

This paper presents a simulation engine, developed to model earthmoving operations. The
engine has been designed utilizing object-oriented features, and it represents a main …

Recent advances in data collection and operations analysis techniques have facilitated the
process of designing, analyzing, planning, and controlling of engineering processes …
