“…In the selected articles, metaheuristic algorithms are widely used to solve the CSLP problems because of four major reasons: (1) considering combinatorial optimization problems, a global optimal solution is impossible (Ning et al , 2019; Said and El-Rayes, 2013a) or cannot be found at a reasonable cost (e.g. computational time) (Benjaoran and Peansupap, 2019; Farmakis and Chassiakos, 2018; Kaveh et al , 2018a; Razavialavi and Abourizk, 2017a; Li et al , 2015; Xu and Song, 2015; Kalmár et al , 2014); (2) more objectives and constraints should be considered for congested construction sites and large-scale projects (Kumar and Cheng, 2015; Kaveh et al , 2018b; Abdelmegid et al , 2015; Xu and Li, 2012; Said and El-Rayes, 2011); (3) the metaheuristic algorithms are not problem-specific (Li et al , 2019; Khalafallah and Hyari, 2018), and the derivatives of objective functions are not required (Kaveh and Vazirinia, 2019; Xu et al , 2016b; Gholizadeh et al , 2010; Zhou et al , 2009); and (4) in complex mathematical models (e.g. bi-level models), it is difficult to use exact algorithms to find all feasible solutions (Song et al , 2016, 2018a; Li et al , 2015).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to analyze and provide insight on the algorithms for the optimization of construction site layout planning (CSLP). It resolves problems, such as the selection of suitable algorithms, considering the optimality, optimization objectives and representation of layout solutions. The approaches for the better utilization of optimization algorithms are also presented.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the above, existing records (results = 200) were selected from three databases: Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus. By implementing a systematic protocol, the articles related to the optimization algorithms for the CLSP (results = 75) were identified. Moreover, various related themes were collated and analyzed according to a coding structure.FindingsThe results indicate the consistent and increasing interest on the optimization algorithms for the CLSP, revealing that the trend in shifting to smart approaches in the construction industry is significant. Moreover, the interest in metaheuristic algorithms is dominant because 65.3% of the selected articles focus on these algorithms. The optimality, optimization objectives and solution representations are also important in algorithm selection. With the employment of other algorithms, self-developed applications and commercial software, optimization algorithms can be better utilized for solving CSLP problems. The findings also identify the gaps and directions for future research.Research limitations/implicationsThe selection of articles in this review does not consider the industrial perspective and practical applications of commercial software. Further comparative analyses of major algorithms are necessary because this review only focuses on algorithm types.Originality/valueThis paper presents a comprehensive systematic review of articles published in the recent decade. It significantly contributes to the demonstration of the status and selection of CLSP algorithms and the benefit of using these algorithms. It also identifies the research gaps in knowledge and reveals potential improvements for future research.

“…Collisions between bodies occur based on two laws of physics; the laws of conservation of momentum and energy. These two laws are conserved in an isolated system, while the collision is taking place [27]. This algorithm, by imitating this phenomenon, provides a method for solving complex optimization problems.…”

In recent decades, the variety of building materials has grown a great deal causing the selection of suitable materials from a wide range of candidates to be complex and difficult. One of the main criteria to be considered in this area, besides reducing procurement cost, is paying attention to various aspects affecting the dimensions of sustainable development, such as increasing energy saving, applying recyclable materials and localization.This paper proposes a framework in the BIM environment - as one of the successful approaches in the AEC industry - which allows the project stakeholders to choose the most desired and optimal combination for their building components with least human interference in the selection process makes systematic choices. In order to achieve the purposes embedded in the framework phases, several methods such as ENSCBO, DEA and VIKOR have been utilized in order to evaluate and depict the selection process, this is implemented as a Revit plugin and eventually applied to a case study.

“…Another important point for the implementation of all industrial and construction projects is the safety level and factors affecting it. This is a vital issue because endangered safety of workers, managers and equipment may lead to costly postponements and heavy private or public fines when workers' safety is at risk (Kaveh et al, 2018). Therefore, a suitable model should be proposed for proper facilities layout in construction projects efficiently by considering all of the effective factors.…”

This study presents a new hybrid framework based on the multi-criteria decision making in order to rank the potential site layout locations by consideration of the cost and safety criteria in the Mehr Construction Project in Tehran, Iran. To this end, all of the criteria in selecting suitable potential locations are extracted from the research literature and the most effective ones, which are matched with existing conditions in Tehran are considered based on the opinion of experts,. Then, the proper locations for site layout are determined as the potential alternatives and ranked by experts based on the structure. According to the data collected from the questionnaires, the weights of the selected criteria are calculated using Best Worst Method (BWM) and the final ranking of the locations is performed using two Gray Relational Analysis and VIKOR methods. The computational results indicate that both VIKOR and GRA methods yield the same ranking. However, a method with higher reliability should be used to select the best potential location of construction site layout. Therefore, the sensitivity analysis of final outputs on the parameters existing in VIKOR and GRA methods is used in order to rank the alternatives and select the best approach. According to the computational results, the GRA method provides higher robustness compared with the VIKOR method. Accordingly, the ranking obtained from the GRA method is employed as the final solution in implementing the case study. .
