...Hosein Taghaddos; Mohammad Hosein Heydari; AmirHosein Asgari Purpose This study aims to propose a hybrid simulation approach for site layout and material laydown planning in construction projects considering both the project’s continuous and discrete state. Design/methodology/approach...

...) and relationships (e.g. agent interactions) simultaneously. Hybrid simulation was developed to address the limitations of the one-simulation method by enabling integration with other methods. However, the term hybrid simulation has been used in existing literature to define a range of different models...

... is a suitable decision-making tool to account for uncertainties and to model complex dependencies among decision variables. This paper aims to improve microtunneling construction planning by using simulation. Design/methodology/approach This study proposes a hybrid simulation approach that combines discrete...
