  • Abstract:
    This paper presents the concept used to construct a complex residential tilt-up-panel structure utilizing three-dimensional (3D) modeling and animations. The residence comprises of 108 precast concrete panels of varying rectangular shapes with “dog legs” and window and door “cutouts” that look like an assembled jigsaw puzzle. The erection and installation procedure called for a maximum panel-to-panel joint tolerance of 1.27 cm (0.5 in.) , often in 90° joints between panels. 3D animations were used to experiment with the construction process on the computer screen prior to construction in order to avoid potential costly on-site errors. In addition, the 3D animations were also used as a training tool for the contractors. This paper focuses on describing the methodology used to integrate a crane selection algorithm and optimization model with 3D modeling and animation for the selection, utilization, and location of cranes on construction sites. Analytical optimization processes were used to decrease the traveling time and distance of the selected crane, to improve the crane lifting sequence and to minimize the use of panel casting slabs.
