Development of an Integrated System for Structural Design of Buildings Using OODP Method
This study serves as a starting point for the development of an integrated system in the structural design domain. In this paper we describe the issues that arise in the integration throughout...

Computer Methods Used on Seismic Retrofit Projects
Over a relatively short period of about twenty years, personal computers (PC's) have replaced slide rules in most engineering calculations. PC's are now staple equipment in every engineering...

A Spatial Decision Support System for Vehicle Routing
This paper describes the design, development, and implementation of a computer aided system for planning efficient network maintenance routes. The system has been used to design snow and...

The Engineering Implications of an Integrated GIS and CAD System
A Geographic Information System is an information system optimized to operate on geographically referenced data. A Computer Aided Drafting software package duplicates the tasks involved...

Qualitative Formulation of Load Paths Through a Functional Description of Structures
The past few decades have seen major advances in computer tools to analyze complex structures and loadings. For the most part, these programs have focused on two areas - A, programs for...

A Constraint-Based Composites Design Advisor
Most engineering problems, because they involve mathematical relations (constraints) on real valued quantities (objects), can be reduced to constraint networks. The authors speculate that...

Study of a Computer System for Evaluation of Bearing Wall Stresses in Structural Planning ? Reasoning by Neural Network
This report proposes a reasoning system for bearing shear wall stresses in the ultimate state by using geometrical data of buildings and shear walls at the initial stage of aseismic structural...

Building Object-Oriented Systems for Diagnostic Problems in Civil Engineering
In recent years, rehabilitation and renovation of existing buildings and roads have grown to occupy a significant share of all civil engineering projects. Proper timing of rehabilitative...
