Solution Methods Sample Clauses

Solution Methods. ‌ The main methods recognized when studying or solving combinatorial optimization problems are exact and approximation methods. Exact methods are usually based on full enumeration and give optimal solutions but are limited to small problem instances and models; approximation methods do not guarantee an optimal solution but use good bounds on the solution. Lastly, heuristics unlike approximation methods do not give any bounds on the solution but in practice have been found to give quite good solutions. Metaheuristics have also been applied as they have the advantage of escaping local optima[12].

The depth and extent of undercut excavation, if required, will be determined by the Owner’s representative at the time of excavation. 3.4 All excavated materials shall become the property of the Contractor and be removed from the site at the completion of the project at no additional expense to the Owner. 3.5 Undercut excavations should be backfilled with graded aggregate. Backfill shall be placed in loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches thick. Each lift should be compacted with at least 3 passes of a minimum 5-ton, walk-behind or self-propelled vibratory roller when the size of the area permits, or with a vibrating plate mechanical compactor for smaller areas. Lift thickness shall be reduced to 6 inch loose lift when using a vibratory plate compactor. 3.6 The Contractor shall take precautions as necessary to minimize the potential for disturbance or softening of the pavement subgrade materials from inclement weather or construction traffic. As a minimum, this shall include the placement of backfill on the same day as the excavation. Any soft areas which develop shall be undercut and replaced with graded aggregate at no additional cost to the Owner. 3.7 Where undercutting is performed, the geotextile fabric shall be installed. The fabric should be pulled tight and lapped a minimum of 12 inches.
