Planning and Analysis of Construction Operations

Informationen zum Autor DANIEL W. HALPIN is Professor Emeritus and former head of the Division of Construction Engineering and Management at Purdue University. The author of more than ten books, he is a member of the National Academy of Construction, a recipient of ASCE's Peurifoy Construction Research Award and the Carroll H. Dunn Award of Excellence from the Construction Industry Institute (CII). Klappentext Focuses on the use of simulation techniques to model and evaluate repetitive construction operations. Based on the CYCLONE and MICROCYCLONE software developed by the authors and used at 38 universities nationwide, it uses a variety of examples from all areas of construction to demonstrate the application of simulation to analyze construction operations.
