    A model for the selection of the optimum crane for construction sites

    New search for: Furusaka, Shuzo
    New search for: Gray, Colin

    This paper presents a method of locating a crane on a construction site using mathematical techniques. The optimum location and choice of the crane on a site is seen as one of the most important parts of construction planning. It proposes the algorithm which can define the least expensive cranage cost (the total cost of the hire, assembly and dismantling) by calculating the combined use of different cranes, such as truck crane, crawler crane, travelling based tower crane or fixed base tower crane. Conclusions are drawn as to the relevance of the application of the model to construction projects.
