Abstract
In the construction projects, the location of the tower crane as expensive equipment has an important effect on material transportation costs. The appropriate location of tower cranes for material supply and engineering demands is a combinatorial optimization problem within the tower crane layout problem that is difficult to resolve. Due to the construction site conditions, there are several tower crane location optimization models. Meta-heuristics are popular and useful techniques to resolve these complex optimization problems.
