Modelling Activity Dependencies for Building Construction Project Scheduling

摘要

Activity dependencies are used to represent an important part of the logic of aconstruction project schedule, for example, general construction strategy, the sequence of activities and their overlap. The research investigates the existence of these different dependencies within building construction project schedules. The findings form the basis for the development of a schedule preparation model with which a planner: prepares schedules using a domain specific approach; uses specific procedures to identify and create different activity dependencies; and applies tailored data structures to store characteristics of individual activity dependencies.
