A Computational Method for Acquiring Response and Ground Motion from Accelerogram on the Base of Structure
This paper describes computational formulation of vibratory equations for acquiring response and input ground motion from accelerogram on the base of long structure with flexible slab....
Editing Existing Paper Drawings
In the last five years, developments in creating and managing engineering drawings completely, within a computer environment, have been phenomenal. Computer Aided Design continues to make...
Modular Software for Editing Paper Drawings
Revising, tracking and storing large format engineering drawings has always been an expensive and complex problem for large industries. The management problem became much more complex...
Your Paper Drawings in the World of Organized Information
A comprehensive discussion of available hybrid raster-vector techniques and tools is provided. The author uses a sample project to clarify the most common misjudgements that result from...
A Comparison of Two AI Based Design Systems
Two applications of Civil Engineering based, AI systems are described. Although both systems are intended as design aids they have substantially different structures and methods of achieving...
A Numerical Procedure to Compute Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations
A simple numerical procedure of calculation of bearing capacity of shallow foundation is proposed. This procedure employs the Terzaghi-Prandtl model of general shear failure. In this paper,...
Application of Spencer's Method for Slope Stability Analysis
For slope stability analysis with general, arbitrarily shaped failure surfaces, the Spencer's method has been found to provide a reasonably accurate result. This method satisfies both...
Regional Stress Field Due to Water-Filling at Sanxia Dam
This paper uses the observed stress values to simulate the tectonic stress field in the reservoir. Based on the increment analysis method. we discuss the effects and variations of the...
Adapting Conceptual Clustering for Preliminary Structural Design
The use of conceptual clustering for knowledge acquisition can facilitate the development of a knowledge base in a domain where little formalized knowledge is really available. The limitations...
Competitive Advantage of Using Computers in Structural Design
More and more structural analysis and design work is done using computers. The trend will continue because the software is becoming more powerful and the cost of computers is falling....
Computer Aided Experiments for Truss Structures
It is quite difficult to investigate structural mechanical properties by full scaled structure experiments. Consequently, an experiment using a reduced scale model is generally performed....
An Application of Fuzzy Set Theory to Preference Analysis in Bus Route Choices
One of the difficulties in applying fuzzy set theory to the real situation is how to determine membership functions. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted to assess bus riders'...
An Integrated System to Facilitate the Analysis of Construction Claims
In recent years, considerable attention has been directed towards the ascertaining the nature of disruptions in construction contracting. In practice, attempts are made to identify the...
Analytical Information Management Systems: Tools for Environmental Data Management
Management of environmental data is currently fragmented among laboratory information management systems, regulatory reporting systems, geographic information systems, and other systems....
Nonlinear Trial Load Method of Arch Dams
The trial load method is still an important method for the stress analysis of arch dams at present. However, the trial load method can be used only for the linear elastic analysis of arch...
Optimal Processor Mapping for Massively Parallel Finite Element Computations
The exploitation of massively parallel computer for finite element analysis requires efficient usage of processors as well fast speed. For example, the efficiency of a parallel matrix...
Simulative Calculation of Highrise Building Structure Under Vertical Loads
