| Abstract | The major problems of project duration delay and project cost overrun in the
Vietnamese construction projects are the failures of managers in quantifying the uncertainties
of project duration and project cost in the planning stage. This thesis aims to develop the risk
analysis and optimization models that can quantify the uncertainties of project duration and
project cost in the Vietnamese construction projects.
A preliminary survey was carried out to identify the problems. Then, the three risk
analysis and optimization models for project duration and project cost were developed, in
which the correlations, subjective data and the choices of distributions for input data were
considered. The models were applied in a case study project in Vietnam, and it was
demonstrated that they can be used efficiently in practice. The issue of comparative influence
of correlation and distribution shapes to the output was also discussed. It was found that
incorporating correlation have more significant influence on the result than the selecting of
probability distribution. |
