Abstract

Tower crane, transporting components vertically and horizontally, is the most expensive machine in construction site. In order to reduce cost and advance construction schedule, tower crane should be well located. Based on matlab platform, this paper generates an optimizing algorithm to selection optimal type and location of tower crane which is divided into three parts.1)Tower crane selection model is built to define alternative type and location to establish crane.2)Tower crane time mode is generated to calculate hoist time.3)Tower crane cost model to find the optimal location and type of crane based on cost and precast rate. Then, a practical case, using this algorithm, is showed to demonstrate the outputs, and analyze the relationship of the cost and precast rate.
