Allocation and selection of equipment for concrete works using fuzzy linear programming

The aim of this research is focused on the problem of allocation and selection of the construction equipment when construction firms bid for construction projects. The main objective of the selection of construction equipment is to ensure the timely completion of all considered projects, while at the same time the planned budget is fulfilled. In this paper fuzzy linear programming is applied with the fuzzy objective function and fuzzy constrains. The proposed mathematical model is applied for optimal selection and allocation of equipment for five projects with different quantities of concrete works and general budget.
