IVHS and HOV Facilities
This paper examines the application o f intelligent vehicle-highway systems (IVHS) technology to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. Current projects are described and potential applications...
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...
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....
