  • Abstract:
    Repetitive projects are those characterized by repetitive construction activities. Examples are highway, pipeline, high‐rise building construction, etc. Many researchers recognized the disadvantages of using traditional network techniques for planning, scheduling, and monitoring such projects. Alternate approaches based on graphical or on analytical techniques have been proposed to model repetitive projects. This paper presents a new approach called the repetitive project model (RPM) that models repetitive construction projects. This model incorporates a network technique, a graphical technique, and an analytical technique in a unified approach to model repetitive projects. Comparisons between RPM and current available models are made and a numerical example is given to illustrate the use of the model.
