  • Abstract:
    A stochastic network model consisting of dependent and independent random variables is developed for construction scheduling. The network model is based on Monte‐Carlo simulation. Data for each network activity consist of a time distribution for the activity under optimal conditions and a series of time distributions for various problems that may lengthen the activity completion time. Dependencies between network activities may be modelled; also, time dependencies for a network activity may be modelled. The implementation of the model is discussed.
