This course discusses the principles of modelling and simulation for the construction processes. Simulation refers mostly to discrete event simulation. It aims to develop a higher level of comprehensive understanding of the complex construction operations and problem solving. The course also covers the classification and validation of simulation models methods and models such as process oriented simulation, Markov-simulation, trace-driven simulation, analysis of input data and outputs in addition to models of dynamic and stochastic operations for the sake of analysis and design. It also covers Simulation languages and their application on the construction processes, the application of discrete event simulation in building construction processes such as earthmoving operations. A project is required.
