Abstract
Hybrid Simulation (HS) is the application of multiple simulation techniques, for example, Discrete-event, Agent-based and System Dynamics, in the context of a single simulation study. HS is a growing area of research; numerous papers have delved into conceptualizations, frameworks, and case studies applied to specific application domains. The focus of our paper is on the construction domain. Through a systematic methodology for literature assessment, it presents a synthesis of the existing literature, providing insights on the choice of simulation technique, the context of its application, and the level of implementation, among others. Through an in-depth review of 36 relevant papers published over the past two decades, we contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-the-art in HS as applied to Construction. The results of our investigation underscore the immense potential of HS in construction, with broad applicability spanning diverse areas such as structural analysis and building performance evaluation.
