“…Various λ needs to be utilized for different locations of crane k for determining location-specific effects in a construction site. Having high-tech vision tools in tower cranes help operators to see better and at the same time help the operation to carry out faster which means a smaller λ is applicable [25].…”

Tower crane is the core construction facility in the high-rise building construction sites. Proper selection and location of construction tower cranes not only can affect the expenses but also it can have impact on the material handling process of building construction. Tower crane selection and layout problem (TCSLP) is a type of construction site layout problem, which is considered as an NP-hard problem. In consequence, researchers have extensively used metaheuristics for their solution. The Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA) is a newly developed metaheuristic which performs well for TCSLP, however, efficient use of this algorithm requires additional considerations. For this purpose, the present paper studies an upgraded sine cosine algorithm (USCA) that employs a harmony search based operator to improve the exploration and deal with variable constraints simultaneously and uses an archive to save the best solutions. Subsequently, the upgraded sine cosine algorithm is employed to optimize the locations to find the best tower crane layout. Several benchmark functions are studied to evaluate the performance of the USCA. A comparative study indicates that the USCA performs quite well in comparison to other recently developed metaheuristic algorithms.

“…First, some of the previous studies have developed the optimization model to minimize the operating time and rental cost for the vertical transportation in a skyscraper construction. Huang et al () optimized the material hoisting operation by using a GA and mixed‐integer linear programming method. Shin et al () developed a GA‐based simulation model for establishing the optimal hoist planning for workers and materials.…”

In a skyscraper construction, a great number of workers and materials must be vertically transported to the proper positions depending on their roles. Particularly, the optimal vertical transportation logistics of lift cars for workers at peak time should be established to enhance the entire project performance in a skyscraper construction. For achieving this objective, the zoning-based concept can be introduced to improve the effectiveness of the vertical transportation logistics of lift cars for workers at peak time in a skyscraper construction. In developing the zoning-based vertical transportation logistics, it is necessary to consider the minimization of the electricity consumption as an environmental index as well as the minimization of the operating time and the maximization of the cost effectiveness. Therefore, this study aims to develop a multi-objective optimization model for solving the time-cost-environment trade-off problem in establishing the zoning-based vertical transportation

“…Materials management is one of the most important aspects of construction SCM. Research on construction projects inventory optimization is aimed at providing guidelines for on-site construction material management (Thomas, Riley & Messner, 2005); numerous works have been devoted to optimization of construction site layouts (El-Gafy & Ghanem, 2010, Huang, Wong & Tam, 2010 to minimize material handling.…”

The authors' recent survey on Polish road contractors' aggregate procurement methods indicates that optimization techniques are rarely used in practicedespite the fact that the material is to be transported from large distances and its sources are inconveniently distributed throughout the country. In search for economy in this respect, the authors propose mixed binary linear programming models to facilitate the contractor's logistic decisions. The purpose of these models is to find delivery quantities from a number of supply locations (of limited capacity and with a limited transportation potential) to predefined destinations along the road in a way that minimizes logistic costs. The problem considered is an extension to the classic transshipment problem, and allows for change of delivery destination along the route with the progress of works, and for constraints resulting from the schedule of the works.
