Abstract

Construction site layout planning is a dynamic multi-objective optimization problem since there are various temporary facilities (TFs) employed in the different construction phase. This paper proposes the use of harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve the problem that assigning TFs to inside of the building. The suggested algorithm shows a rapid convergence to an optimal solution in a short time. In addition, comparative analysis with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is conducted to prove the efficiency of the proposed algorithm quantitatively.
