“…Thus, the original single objective optimization problem (ie, optimal time or cost) is shifted to a bi-objective optimization problem (ie, optimal time-cost). The construction time-cost optimization problem has been examined extensively in the construction engineering and management literature (eg, Siemens, 1971;Tamimi and Diekmann, 1988;Que, 2002;Rogalska et al, 2008;Wu et al, 2009;Yu et al, 2010;Wongwai and Malaikrisanachalee, 2011).…”
