Learning outcomes from construction simulation modeling

Repetitive construction processes exhibit improvement in production rate as repetitions increase. A learning curve can be developed for such construct ion processes that can improve the predictive accuracy for the early portio ns of project schedules. This paper discusses a method for incorporating le arning development in a construction simulation model. The case study model represents the construction of a guide wall for a lock using a mobile coff erdam. The impact of including learning development on model results is rep orted as well as a sensitivity analysis.
