Abstract

In this chapter, two recently developed metaheuristic algorithms, so-called CBO and ECBO, are employed for construction site layout planning. Results show that both of these algorithms have the capability of solving this kind of problem. Two case studies are presented to show the applicability and performance of the utilized methods [1].
