  • Abstract:
    By definition, any activity not on the critical path must have float. The concept of float in the critical path method relates to how long an activity can be delayed before it becomes a critical activity. For linear construction activities, however, the concept of float is somewhat different from that of traditional scheduling techniques. Rather than start time and duration being the main attributes of float, production rate is a more fundamental attribute of a linear activity. As such, for float to be meaningful for a linear activity, it must be reflective of the activity's major characteristic. Rate float captures this characteristic and presents information to construction planners and managers in terms that are meaningful for linear projects. This paper describes rate float as it applies to the linear scheduling model developed by Harmelink and Rowings in 1998.
