Accessing the Schedule Data Base
Some of the potentially most significant uses of microcomputers in transit scheduling analysis (i. e. , to take advantage of the user-defined powers of the microcomputer to perform special...

The Utility of Paratransit Database Management
Paratransit administrators are keenly interested in ways to improve their collection, management, and reporting of data. Many agencies currently use manual procedures or mainframe computer...

Using Census Data on Microcomputers
There is a growing demand for microcomputer data base systems that can store and retrieve information from the census. However, there is a shortage of software that can perform these functions....

Portable Micros in Transportation Data Collection
The use of mainframe, mini and microcomputers has become widespread among transportation engineers and planners as a means of improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of data analysis...

Pavement Management Data Collection and Analysis
Pavement management systems (PMS) quantify the inventories of maintainable elements under an engineer/manager's jurisdiction including roadways, shoulders, bridges, culverts, guardrails,...

Vibration Problems in Geotechnical Engineering
This volume constitutes the Proceedings of a two-session Symposium whose main objective is to address geotechnical issues related to vibration problems other than those associated with...

Portables Pay Off
A portable microcomputer with appropriate software, utilities and copies of job related records can establish a field office for almost any project. Examples of applications for the onsite...

Slurry Walls Protect Harvard Square
Harvard Square Station, Cambridge, Mass., had to be rebuilt when Boston's Red Line Subway was extended further out to the suburbs. For the first time, tied back slurry walls...

Can Digital Terrain Data Cut Route Selection Time?
The use of photogrammetry in the collection of digital terrain and the use of a computer to process data is not being used to its fullest. Use of these two tools together increases access...

Just a Few More Tests and We'll Be Sure
This short paper presents a practical approach to data analysis, with the intent of suggesting that simple statistical methods - when tailored to geotechnical problems - do in fact provide...

Characteristics of Indiana Soil Properties
The Indiana Geotechnical Data Bank was established to collect engineering soil data in the state and to provide information for engineering planning and design works. It contains nearly...

Probabilistic Characterization of Nigerian Falls
A probabilistic method of subsurface characterization is developed for sites in Southern Nigeria. This method is based on the use of statistics to analyze real field data and determine...

Techniques for Automating the Process of As-Built Reconciliation
The approach utilizes an electronic digital 'ruler' capable of measuring distances to 100 feet with a resolution of 1/100 of a foot. This ruler interfaces to...

Integrated Testing and Analysis
This paper represents a new approach which greatly streamlines the entire process. In those cases where finite element modeling is used without test verification, the procedure consists...

The Response of Steel Containment Models to Internal Pressurization
To obtain insight and data on the response of containment vessels subjected to beyond design basis accidents, four 1/32 scale steel containment models have been subjected to internal overpressurization,...

A Correlation Study on the Spectrum Decomposition Method
The major elements of the Spectrum Decomposition Method (SDM) are reviewed together with its automated process for generation of in-equipment response spectra (IERS). The floor required...

Evaluating Data Collectors as a Surveying Tool
Data collectors play an increasingly important role in surveying. The data collector serves as an interface between the total station and the computer and as an electronic assistant to...

Geotechnical Perspective?Proposed Drilled Shaft Standard
In the writer's understanding, a standard is an agreed upon manual of practice and as such, sets the level of performance and attainment considered adequate. A standard is...

Relational Model for Computer Analysis and Design
One of the most critical elements in engineering analysis and design is data management. Relational database systems have been proven to be an excellent tool for managing the voluminous...

Consulting Engineers' Experience with CAD
A general, brief history of the role of computers in design in consulting engineering practice is presented. Their changing role from their initial early use to today's involvement...
