This study is an attempt to identify the minimum time of a construction project using the critical path method and linear programming model. A systematic analysis is attempted by developing a work breakdown structure for entire project to establish work elements for quantifying various resources against time and cost. A network is established taking into consideration all the predecessor and successor activities. The network is then optimized through crashing of activities so as to obtain optimal solution and serves as a base for optimizing total project cost. Finally, linear programming model is used to formulate the system of crashing network for minimum time by LINGO model and Microsoft Excel. These models consider many considerations of project thus reducing the duration of project. Ultimately, comparison of both the software outputs and the manual calculations is done and the best verifier is determined.

Choice of Numerical Integration Method for Wind Time History Analysis of Tall...

inventy

Wind tunnel tests are being performed routinely around the world for designing tall buildings but the advent of powerful computational tools will make time-history analysis for wind more common in near future. As the duration of wind storms ranges from tens of minutes to hours while earthquake durations are typically less than a three to four minutes, the choice of a time step size (Δt) for wind studies needs to be much larger both to reduce the computational time and to save disk space. As the error in any numerical solution of the equation of motion is dependent on step size (Δt), careful investigations on the choice of numerical integration methods for wind analyses are necessary. From a wide variety of integration methods available, it was decided to investigate three methods that seem appropriate for 3D-time history analysis of tall buildings for wind. These are modal time history analysis, the Hilber-Hughes-Taylor (HHT) method or α-method with α=- 0.1, and the Newmark method with β=0.25 and γ=0.5 ( i.e., trapezoidal rule). SAP2000, a common structural analysis software tool, and a 64-story structure are used to conduct all the analyses in this paper. A boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT) pressure time history measured at 120 locations around the building envelope of a similar structure is used for the analyses. Analyses performed with both the HHT and Newmark-method considering P-delta effects show that second order effects have a considerable impact on both displacement and acceleration response. This result shows that it is necessary to account P-delta effect for wind analysis of tall buildings. As the direct integration time history analysis required very large computation times and very large computer physical memory for a wind duration of hours, a modal analysis with reduced stiffness is considered as a good alternative. For that purpose, a non-linear static analysis of the structure with a load combination of 1.0D + 1.0L is performed in SAP2000 and the reduced stiffness of the structure after the analysis is used to conduct an eigenvalue analysis to extract the mode shapes and frequencies of this structure. Then the first 20- modes are used to perform a modal time history analysis for wind load. The result shows that the responses from modal analysis with “20-mode (reduced stiffness)” are comparable with that from the P-Δ analyses of Newmark-method

paperpublications3

Abstract: The main objective of this dissertation is to optimize the roughness index for a roller burnishing process. The factors have been identified from literature review. These barriers may be of market, cultural, human resource.management, financial, economical, attitudinal, environmental, geographical and technological type. Technology transfer barriers threats the movement of physical structure, knowledge, skills, organization value and capital from the developed to developing countries. Clear understanding of these barriers may help the practitioners to find out various ways to deal with them. This may further facilitate successful implementation of technology transfer. Technology transfer may be said to be successful if Transferor (seller) and the transferee (buyer) can effectively utilize the technology for business gain. The transfer involves cost and expenditure that should be agreed by the transferee and transferor. The process is affected by various factors that hinder Technology Transfer. These factors named Barriers. In the present work, Interpretive Structure Modeling (ISM) is used for the analysis and comparison of various factors important for Technology Transfer. The important parameters are identified and self-interaction matrixes proposed with the help of Interpretive Structure Modeling which evaluates the inhibiting power of these parameters. This index can be used in comparison of different factors responsible for Roller Burnishing Processes.

Time Cost Trade off Optimization Using Harmony Search and Monte-Carlo Method

Mohammad Lemar ZALMAİ

Project cost and project duration are main factors in construction management. In real-life projects, both the trade-off between the project cost and the Project completion time, and the uncertainty of the environment are considerable aspects for decision-makers. Moreover, in some projects, activity durations show their complexity with time-dependence as well as randomness. Time cost trade off problem have been solved by using vast of methods such as genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization. Most of these studies considered deterministic project values and includes CPM calculations for fitness value calculation. However most of construction projects are stochastic processes. In this paper, a stochastic time–cost trade-off problem is introduced. This study takes into account that activity duration and cost are uncertain variables. this study differs from other studies that for each fitness value calculation. The proposed model is dealt with an intelligent algorithm combining stochastic simulation and Harmony search, where stochastic simulation technique is employed to estimate random functions and Harmony search is designed to search optimal schedules under different decision-making criteria. Beside this Monte Carlo simulation is made for fitness value calculation in order to make more realistic optimization. Finally, some numerical experiments are given to illustrate the algorithm effectiveness.

SINTAS

This document summarizes experiments on the costs of consolidating parts using additive manufacturing. Experiment 1 found that consolidation was only marginally beneficial in a few cases when parts had different parameters. Experiment 2 found consolidation was always better when parts were in an assembly, even if parameters worsened. Experiment 3 found partial consolidation on one hierarchy level was beneficial in 39% of cases. In conclusion, consolidation is more desirable between parts with similar parameters and when it eliminates hierarchy in the assembly. Future work is outlined to model more complex cases.

Car’s Aerodynamic Characteristics at High Speed Influenced by Rear Spoiler

IJRES Journal

This study analyzed how different rear spoiler designs influence the aerodynamic characteristics of a car at high speeds. Nine rear spoiler cases were modeled varying the cross-sectional shape, chord length, and horizontal angle. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were run to calculate the aerodynamic lift coefficient for each case. An orthogonal experiment design was used to analyze which factors had the most significant influence on lift. The results showed that cross-sectional shape, chord length, and horizontal angle all had a minor significance. The best combination found was a flat cross-section, 150mm chord length, and 15 degree horizontal angle, which reduced lift the most.
