Earthwork is the starting work of construction process, which has the greatest impact on the productivity of the construction project among the works. However, it is difficult to derive accurate productivity becuase the earthwork plan is affected by geological condition of the jobsite. Therefore, a simulation model for productivity analysis of earthwork was developed using CYCLONE modeling method in this study. In this paper, simulation model was made considering the impact factors of earthwork productivity. The proposed model can be utilized for sensitivity analysis in future studies.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to analyze the effects arising from extending the duration of nighttime road construction on improving road quality and durability. METHODS : Most previous studies estimating the social cost of various construction conditions did not consider road pavement cooling time as a factor in improving road pavement quality. This study investigated the feasibility of achieving higher road quality and durability by extending the duration of nighttime road construction time extension. For this investigation, the effects of such an extension on traffic conditions were analyzed based on micro-simulation studies and scenario-based cost-benefit analyses, using factors including traffic volume, delay, construction cost, and road pavement cooling time. RESULTS : The results of the traffic simulation studies and cost-benefit analyses indicate that the current road construction method that emphasizes completing nighttime road construction by 6 a.m. reduces pavement life while causing relatively little traffic delay. If the night construction time is instead extended to 2 p.m., road pavement lifetime is increased, reducing road re-construction cost. These savings are greater than the cost of congestion arising from extending the duration of nighttime construction. CONCLUSIONS : The current nighttime construction durations need to be extended in order to efficiently manage roads and reduce road management costs.

Simulation has considerable potential as the tool of construction management, but in the case of domestic, it is at an early stage applying simulation to micro-process assesment. For applying simulation to the construction process, much effort is needed to collect input data and to build the model including the characteristics of the fields. This study introduces the methodology to build the simulation model, then verifies the model with the operation data.

Construction graphical simulations usually do not reflect physical properties of construction equipment and material because there are restricted to the geometric model. The complete description of construction operations is difficult for graphical simulation without a physical modeling. The object of this research is to enhance the functionality of restricted simulation system to geometric model. And research is conducted to overcome the limitation of current construction graphical simulation system through the connection geometric model and physical model with the physical properties of construction equipment and material such as crane's cable oscillation. The motion equations for the oscillation of crane cable as a result of the trolley's movement and the boom's rotation were derived. The equations were solved through numerical analysis and the results were simulated visually. The realistic description with physical modeling of construction operations will contribute for ensuring preliminary against risks and improving constructability as well as the application of various fields.

Markov chains and Monte Carlo Simulation were applied to account for the probabilistic nature of pavement deterioration over time using data collected in the field. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate pavement network performance of Western Australia (WA) by applying the existing pavement management tools relevant to WA road construction networks. Two approaches were used to analyze the pavement networks: evaluating current pavement performance data to assess WA State Road networks and predicting the future states using past and current pavement data. The Markov chains process and Monte Carlo Simulation methods were used to predicting future conditions. The results indicated that Markov chains and Monte Carlo Simulation prediction models perform well compared to pavement performance data from the last four decades. The results also revealed the impact of design, traffic demand, and climate and construction standards on urban pavement performance. This study recommends an appropriate and effective pavement engineering management system for proper pavement design and analysis, preliminary planning, future pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, service life, and sustainable pavement construction functionality.

Currently, the Korean Smart Construction Corporation aims to stimulate overseas expansion of smart construction technology centered on Expressway development. In addition, the integrated classification system of construction information with Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) is currently being established in Korea, but its application to the construction industry is limited. In this study, data generation using simulation is carried out at the lowest level of WBS presented by the Korea Expressway Corporation, and detailed process productivity is predicted by site conditions.

This paper, introduces a Stochastic Project Scheduling Simulation system (SPSS III) developed by the author to predict a project completion probability in a certain time. The system integrates deterministic CPM, probabilistic PERT, and stochastic Discrete Event Simulation (DES) scheduling methods into one system. It implements automated statistical analysis methods for computing the minimum number of simulation runs, the significance of the difference between independent simulations, and the confidence interval for the mean project duration as well as sensitivity analysis method in What-if analyzer component. The SPSS 111 gives the several benefits to researchers in that it (1) complements PERT and Monte Carlo simulation by using stochastic activity durations via a web based JAVA simulation over the Internet, (2) provides a way to model a project network having different probability distribution functions, (3) implements statistical analyses method which enable to produce a reliable prediction of the probability of completing a project in a specified time, and (4) allows researchers to compare the outcome of CPM, PERT and DES under different variability or skewness in the activity duration data.

A computer-aided simulation modeling system has been developed to allow the automatic construction of complete discrete simulation models for queueing systems. Three types of knowledge are used in the specification and construction of a simulation modeling: Knowledge of queueing system, simulation modeling, and a target simulation language. This knowledge has been incorporated into the underlying rule base in the form of extraction and construction rule, and implemented via the expert system building tool, OPS5. This paper suggested a knowledge based approach for automatic programming to enable a user who lacks modeling knowledge and simulation language expertize to quickly build executable models.
