Abstract

This study tackles the multi-objective optimization (MOP) challenges in constructing steel–concrete columns by introducing a novel TCQE model that considers time, cost, quality, and carbon emissions. Employing relative deviation theory with dynamic weighting, the model normalizes MOP and applies an improved ant colony algorithm (IACA) to generate optimized solutions. Empirical research validates the model’s efficiency and applicability. Furthermore, a decision-making framework based on AHP-TOPSIS is proposed, demonstrating superior weight distribution and fairness in the decision process. Compared to the ideal point method and VIKOR, the proposed approach consistently identifies optimal solutions, affirming its scientific validity and effectiveness. The findings suggest broad application prospects in practical construction projects and provide valuable insights for construction management research, highlighting the theoretical and practical significance of the model and framework.

期刊介绍： in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
