Horizontal formwork design optimization & selection system using genetic algorithms by Ghowiba, Ramy Mohamed

“…After the model output was validated, it was successfully applied to a high-rise construction project in Egypt, and the most appropriate formwork system for that project was outputted with a purchase cost, and design parameters. The formwork selection system was applied to an optimized low income housing plan developed in previous research; highlighting the appropriate formwork systems to be used based on the number of formwork uses per year; in addition to developing a complete formwork design drawings for these selected systems.…”

Spatial temporal measures: a new parameter for planning by Hosny, Abdel Hady

“…Having a large number of concurrent activities with various crews increases the risk of workspace conflicts on sites, eventually affecting the productivity, time, cost and quality. Thus, there is an increasing attention to identify measures that are able to detect and analyze the possible workspace conflicts that would occur in a project in the planning stage before execution. …”

Determining preferred substation configurations based on reliability and cost by Van der Merwe, Johanette

“…This simplified approach is sufficiently complex to ensure that errors are not one-sided, while at the same time minimising the number of calculations of the reliability evaluation. A cost estimation tool was developed to determine the utility cost for each of the substations. …”
