Transportation infrastructure is of paramount importance for any country. The construction,
management and maintenance of this infrastructure is a complex task that requires a …

Earthworks involve the leveling or sha** of a target area through the moving or processing
of the ground surface. Most construction projects require earthworks, which are heavily …

Decision support and optimization tools to be used in construction often require an accurate
estimation of the cost variables to maximize their benefit. Heavy machinery is traditionally …

This paper presents a study based on the application of cascade ANN prediction models to
an earthwork construction database. Results show not only a good adjustment to the data …

Earthworks tasks aim at levelling the ground surface at a target construction area and
precede any kind of structural construction (eg, road and railway construction). It is …

This work conceptualizes an integrated real-time management and dynamic optimization
system for earthwork fleets, based on recent technological developments with potential to …

In highway construction, earthworks refer to the tasks of excavation, transportation,
spreading and compaction of geomaterial (eg soil, rockfill and soil-rockfill mixture). Whereas …

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as principais contribuições da geotecnia e da era
digital nos pavimentos e nas vias-férreas, com importância nas várias fases do ciclo de vida …

In most transportation infrastructure projects, earthworks are generally associated with the
highest percentage costs and durations. Because these tasks are reliant on heavy …
