Purpose This study aims to explore the tower crane safety factors (TCSFs) that influence safe operations (TCSOs) in modular integrated construction (MiC). It evaluates how adoption of these contributes achieving TCSOs and promoting sustainable practices (SPs) within MiC. Design/methodology/approach To achieve this aim, employed a systematic search ensure comprehensive collection variables. Additionally, it conducted questionnaire survey involving professionals utilized brainstorming technique categorize different Finally, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was test relationship between SPs. Findings The results measurement models indicated strong convergent discriminant validity, with each observed variable correlating well its latent variable. Moreover, significant positive correlation SPs evidenced by path coefficient (β = 0.755) p -value <0.05. Lastly, model revealed independent variables strongly dependent (i.e. SPs) 57%, underscoring safety's pivotal role advancing sustainability MiC projects. These findings provide empirical evidence improving can directly enhance practices, offering dual benefit increased for sector. Originality/value makes unique previously undiscovered contribution field identifying TCSFs employing novel approach utilizing PLS-SEM create mathematical model. offers valuable insights into TCSFs, SPs, thus contributing methodological advancements Safety Science providing foundation future research practical implementation industry.

An Integrated Decision Support System for Optimizing Time-Cost Trade-offs in Linear Repetitive Projects

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2025

The primary aim of this paper is to minimize the overall completion time linear repetitive projects while simultaneously reducing direct and indirect costs by employing predefined construction methods. To address these challenges, study proposes a dual-optimization framework that integrates Genetic Algorithms (GA) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). methodology involves decomposing tasks into sub-tasks, enabling more detailed feasible Time-Cost Trade-off (TCT) analysis, which further combined with Line Balance (LOB) methodology. A comparative analysis between GA PSO highlights their respective strengths effectiveness, an area previously underexplored in literature. findings reveal proposed significantly reduces project durations. approach achieves reductions approximately 3.25% costs, 20% 7% total demonstrates slightly better cost efficiency 4% reduction similar costs. Both methods deliver time, showcasing effectiveness streamlining processes. This contributes field presenting GA-PSO-based Linear Repetitive Project (LRPTCT) model, integrating TCT LOB, offering novel solution complexities projects. Furthermore, its provides valuable insights for optimizing management practices.
