  • A simulation environment for Construction Site planning
    Proceedings Fifth International Conference on Information Visualisation, 2001
    Co-Authors: Hissam Tawfik, T. Fernando
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the design of a simulation environment for the modelling, visualisation and optimisation of Construction Site layouts. This Construction Site workspace application aims to support the Site planning task by analysing space and risk on the Site and generating automated Site layouts which satisfy a combination of cost, efficiency and safety criteria. The Construction Site simulation environment forms part of an EU funded project called DIVERCITY (Distributed Virtual Workspace for enhancing Communication within the Construction Industry). This is concerned with the development of virtual simulation prototypes to support the client briefing, design review, and Construction planning stages of the Construction process. The Site analysis module comprises a safety analysis component, a space analysis component, and an optimisation component. The safety analysis component is a generic model for the graphical and numerical representation of risk/hazard spaces. The space analysis component represents and classifies the various spaces on the Construction Site according to their relative importance in terms of accessibility and visibility. The optimisation component takes safety and space analysis information, and performs Site layout optimisation according to travelling distance minimisation, risk minimisation, and space use maximisation criteria.

  • probabilistic fire risk framework for optimizing Construction Site layout
    Sustainability, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rani El Meouche, Mohammed Abunemeh, Ihab Hijazi, Fadi Fatayer, Ahmed Mebarki, Amjad Issa
    Abstract:

    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 probability of failure of a Construction Site. Methodology: The developed model in this paper consists of modeling fire hazards, the vulnerability of the potential targets, and the risk within Construction Sites. The optimization algorithm called “differential evolution” is used in order to determine the optimal Site layout, which is characterized by having the smallest overall probability of failure. A numerical simulation is performed to delineate an appropriate probability density function of the failure of the Site. In addition, a geographic information system (GIS) is used to display the spatial variability of fire risk on a Construction Site. Findings: The paper provides an efficient model to enhance Site layout planning and assign locations for supporting temporary facilities at appropriate positions within a Construction Site. The model is examined through applying it on a simple case study containing numerous facilities. All these facilities are considered vulnerable targets and some of them are potential fire hazards, with different intensity values. Value: Most of the previous research focuses on travel cost distance in developing Site layout planning models. This paper fulfills the development of a valuable model able to generate an optimized Construction Site layout by minimizing the probability of failure of the whole Site. It will assist the decision makers and the risk managers in identifying the riskiest zones on a Construction Site.

  • optimal Construction Site layout based on risk spatial variability
    Automation in Construction, 2016
    Co-Authors: Mohammed Abunemeh, El R Meouche, I Hijaze, Ahmed Mebarki, Isam Shahrour
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Construction Site layout planning is a complex and important task conducted by project managers and planners. It must able to face the occurrence of potential hazards like fire and blast waves, for instance. However, minimizing risk resulting from natural or technological hazards is still a scientific challenge. In the present paper, a new methodology is developed in order to evaluate the risks within a Construction Site. It consists of: Modeling Construction Site components, for instance; electric generator, fuel storage, offices, equipment and material storages, in 2D layout. These components act as hazardous sources and potential targets at the same time, Modeling hazard interaction matrix: it shows the hazard interaction among Site components and the attenuation of hazard with distance, Modeling vulnerability interaction matrix: it represents the potential weakness of whole targets to the hazard generated from each source. In the present research, the vulnerability is expressed as function of hazard intensity, Defining the utility function: it aims to afford an optimized Site layout with minimum total risk in the Construction Site, finally Performing spatial analysis technique, utilizing space syntax principle, to realize space configurations in the Construction Site. As the evacuation process is considered in evaluating and visualizing the risk, the actual risk is amplified by utilizing penalty factor called mean depth. Geographic information system (GIS) is useful in visualizing the spatial variability of the risk within the Site. It integrates the potential total impact of the facilities with the space configuration mean depth results. For illustration purposes, the methodology is employed in a case study consisting of several facilities acting as hazardous sources and potential targets in a 2D layout. The risk optimization considers the level of hazards at each source object, hazard attenuation and adopts conditional values for the vulnerability of the target objects. A differential evolution algorithm is adopted to minimize the global risk within the Site. The results showed that the proposed methodology is efficient, due to its capability of generating Site layout with safer work environment. This in turn leads to minimize work accidents, serious injuries and victims. In addition, the model is capable of highlighting the highest risk areas within a Construction Site.
