| Summary: | Construction process activities are very complex in nature and there have been
attempts to simulate them via numerous methods. Manual work, which constitutes a large
proportion of total construction in India and developing countries, requires emphasis. Field
data-based mathematical simulations develop an empirical relation between inputs and
outputs; once the model is developed and weaknesses have been identified, methods can
be easily improved and optimised for output goals. This paper covers in detail the process of
developing models for the rebar cutting subactivity of reinforced concrete construction in
residential buildings. These models are evaluated using sensitivity analysis, optimisation
techniques and reliability analysis and are validated using artificial neural networks. |
