A development of optimization model for construction site layout planning using genetic algorithm
Abstract:
An effective construction site layout planning (CSPL) is
essential to ensure site safety and enhance work efficiency. The
primary task of CSPL process is to identify suitable location for
temporary facilities (TFs) so that the safety and work efficiency
can be improved. The problem of CSLP is generally formulated
as an optimization problem, where a specific objective can be
achieved with a set of constraints. Dealing with a large number
of facilities, multiple tower cranes, and additional constraints
can make the problem particularly challenging. In this study, a
model is proposed to solve the problem of CSLP using Genetic
Algorithm (GA). The model searches all free areas by using grid
system to minimize the bias for facility location. In addition, the
model can layout the location for tower cranes optimally.
Flexibility of the model is increased by optimizing not only
location for TFs, but also location for tower cranes. Moreover,
this study investigated the effectiveness of closeness
relationships on the developed model. A novel prototype was
developed and tested to evaluate efficiency of the model. The
results indicate that the proposed model can efficiently
optimize the site layout for building projects. It can assist project
managers in arranging facilities and tower cranes more
effectively
