| Abstract: | Repetitive construction processes exhibit improvement in production rate as repetitions increase. A learning curve can be developed for such construction processes that can improve the predictive accuracy for the early portions of project schedules. This paper discusses a method for incorporating learning development in a construction simulation model. The case study model represents the construction of a guide wall for a lock using a mobile cofferdam. The impact of including learning development on model results is reported as well as a sensitivity analysis. |
