For instance, there were 234,560-meter-long and 45,242-meter-long river bank new built and rehabilitated in 2004, respectively. Due to the influence of typhoon, the flood prevention season normally is from June to October in each year. Thus, there is not much time left for contractor to finish river embankment project in a year in which is the time-span usually scheduled to complete an embankment project. As a result, how to implement such project efficiently becomes a more important issue than other type of construction projects. This study aims at developing a discrete event simulation system for facilitating the design and analysis of river embankment construction operations by conducting the following experiments: 1. collect field data including construction operations and activity duration; 2. build discrete event simulation models and fit collected duration data to probability density functions (PDFs); 3. install data base for storing the simulation models and PDFs describing activity duration; 4. examine the practicability for the models; 5. transfer the studied results to the related contractor.
