Define and tabulate the logical relationships (i.e., list of predecessors) among the activities.A small project comprises the construction of two identical houses on a single parcel. Project includes a site leveling activity and each house consists of excavation, reinforcement installation, formwork placement, and casting concrete activities. The activities and the associated direct cost (DC) of each activity are given in the following table.
\table[[,Activity,Description,Cost (S)],[,A,Site leveling,8,500],[House 1,B1,Excavation,2,000],[C1,Reinforcement installation,6,000],[D1,Formwork placement,5,500],[E1,Casting concrete,6,000],[House 2,B2,Excavation,2,000],[C2,Reinforcement installation,6,000],[D2,Formwork placement,5,500],[E2,Casting concrete,6,000]]
The quantity of earth works for "Site leveling" activity needs to be estimated with respect to the grid view shown in Fig. 1 and by using the "Grid Method". Fig. 1 displays a 15m grid survey of levels taken on the construction site which is required to be brought to a level of 57m. Quantity of earth works for "Excavation" activity should be determined by using the dimensions of the trench shown in Fig. 2 with a width and a depth of 1.50m and 2.00m, respectively. Quantities for "Reinforcement installation", "Formwork placement", and "Casting concrete" activities are already estimated as 420 tons, 850m2, and 1,650m3, respectively. The crew assigned for "Site leveling" activity is formed of 2 Trucks and 3 Graders which can work with an output rate of 69
m3hr. Productivity for "Excavation" activity is estimated to be 4 man-hours ?m3 and a crew formed of 8 Labors and 2 General Foremen is assigned for this activity. Crew assigned for "Reinforcement installation" activity is formed of 2 Steel Workers and 2 Labors which can work with an output rate of 21 ton/day. Productivity for "Formwork placement" activity is estimated to be 0.64 manhours ?m2 and a crew formed of 3 Carpenters and 1 General Foreman is assigned for this activity. Productivity for "Casting concrete" activity is estimated to be 0.16 man-hours ?m3 and a crew formed of 3 Concrete Workers is assigned for performing it.
