This study sought to develop a typology model of temporary facility constraints that can be used practically in construction site layout planning (CSLP) automation models. A triangulated methodology (literature review, in-depth interviews, and actual...
In construction projects, the planning objectives include the safety and labor productivity of the activities, along with the cost influence affecting the overall performance of construction. Temporary facilities are critical in supporting structures...
Construction site utilization planning (CSUP), also known as jobsite layout planning, has implications on the safety, productivity, scheduling, and budgetary performance of a project. Past research efforts on CSUP have mainly focused on the developme...
Construction sites are increasingly complex, and their layout have an impact on productivity, safety, and efficiency of construction operations. Dynamic site layout planning (DSLP) considers the adjustment of construction facilities on-site, on an ev...
The location of temporary facilities in a construction project and the entire site layout plan directly affect project objectives such as time, labor cost, and material transportation and handling. The layout of construction sites also affects entrai...
Effective Construction Site Layout Planning (CSLP) ensures the organized placement and sizing of temporary facilities, enhancing workflow and logistical efficiency. Poorly planned layouts, however, can increase material handling times, create bottlen...
Purpose: This paper aims to develop an efficient model able to reduce catastrophic consequences and the significant number of victims resulting from fires at construction sites. The paper proposes probabilistic modeling aimed to minimize the probabil...

An urban emergency shelter provides a place of temporary life and shelter for victims after a disaster. As a very important public service facility, its spatial layout is greatly related to the security of lives and the property of the urban resident...
Vehicles conduct mandatory lane changes to merge into the open lanes in temporary highway work zones, and the merging characteristics have been widely studied over the past decades. Unlike research on other traffic facilities, the data and scenarios...

This article analyses the architecture that was used in the temporary AmberExpo hospital in Gdańsk, Poland which was installed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The construction of this type of facility is often based on experimental approaches, aim...
With the growing scale of university examinations, teaching buildings are increasingly converted into temporary examination venues, raising concerns regarding crowding conditions and evacuation safety. This study proposes a comprehensive evaluation f...
Construction site layout planning (CSLP) plays a pivotal role in determining the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of construction projects. Material handling operations, which constitute a significant portion of indirect project costs, heavi...
Construction site layout planning (CSLP) that considers multi-objective optimization problems is essential to achieving sustainable construction. Previous CSLP optimization methods have applied to traditional cast-in-place buildings, and they lack th...
As Building Information Modeling (BIM) becomes the predominant technology in the construction industry, contractors, amongst other activities, need to conduct Site Logistics Planning (SLP) in the BIM environment during different project phases. 4D BI...
Amid rapid urbanization, the rapid increase in urban vehicles has exacerbated parking scarcity, particularly in areas surrounding hospitals. As the core city of the Huaihai Economic Zone, Xuzhou’s medical institutions serve a broad region spann...
As an important space for disaster prevention, the construction of emergency shelters is crucial for the creation of a complete disaster relief facility network. Based on the goal of the prevention of day and night disaster, short-term fixed shelters...
The rapid development of medical technologies requires architects to implement a future-proofing approach while designing medical facilities, despite the inherent uncertainty of long-term change. This challenge is particularly visible within hospital...
