Multiobjective Optimization of Advanced Shoring Systems Used in Bridge Construction
Bridge construction can be considered as a very complicated process that contains interdisciplinary activities that have to interact efficiently and effectively. Advanced shoring system is a technique that was recently used as an advanced construction method in bridges construction. This technique requires high initial cost because of the heavy equipment and number of crews that are used, so number of crews and number of equipment may affect significantly both the cost and time. Bearing in mind that a trade-off might exist in such industry, decision making should be made carefully; therefore Simulation of the construction process of the advanced shoring system was carried out using STROBOSCOPE simulation tool to simulate the effect of changing the number of equipment and crew members to reach an optimum solution. The variables to be used for optimization in the simulation were determined through a survey that was done among different contractors in the industry
