Overview
Focuses on the use of simulation techniques to model and evaluate repetitive construction operations. Based on the CYCLONE and MICROCYCLONE software developed by the authors and used at 38 universities nationwide, it uses a variety of examples from all areas of construction to demonstrate the application of simulation to analyze construction operations.

An extensive expansion of Halpin and Woodhead's Design of construction and process operations (1976) incorporating the new modeling approach, CYCLONE. Presents the basic concepts for a scientific or analytic evaluation of production processes as they are encountered in construction. Explains how to break processes down into work tasks; outlines the concepts and application of CYCLONE modeling; and presents details of actual evaluations. Usable in an undergraduate classroom.
