Issues in GIS-Based Subsurface Data Management
Obstacles and barriers preclude an interagency GIS application for managing spatially-related subsurface data. Such a system would enable geotechnical and earthquake engineers from state...

National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites?Central Data Repository
A central data repository is in the process of development for the recently-established system of U.S. geotechnical experimentation sites. Data which will be available for most of these...

The Application of 3 Dimensional Geographic Information Systems in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering
The requirements and needs of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in geotechnical earthquake engineering are described, and the use of such system in New Zealand is discussed. We have...

Some Considerations for the Use of Geographic Information Systems
GIS have become widely used. Geotechnical earthquake engineers need both to understand what distinguishes a GIS form other data base systems and to make clear the purpose, use, and maintenance...

A Geotechnical/Earthquake Engineering Information System?Expanding the GIS Conceptual Framework
Data in a typical geotechnical and earthquake engineering study, encompass a variety of sources of information from site investigations, field instrumentation, dynamic computer simulations,...

Accuracy Requirements for GIS-Based Seismic Risk Assessments
Accurate assessments of potential earthquake damage and casualty risk are essential to the design of seismic hazard mitigation policies and seismically oriented engineering practice. More...

Geographic Information System Planning for Geotechnical and Earthquake Engineering Applications at the Savannah River Site, SC
The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) of the Savannah River Site is in the planning stages of compiling a geological, geophysical, and seismological data base on an industry standard...

Potential Role of GIS in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Studies at U.S. Army WES
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) was one of the original developers of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and continues to be active in related research (U.S. Army Engineer Construction...

Accessibility of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Data and the Need for Data Storage and Dissemination Standards
Ease of data access and data standards are two issues critical to the success of GIS technology when applied to earthquake hazards research problems that require geotechnical engineering...

Bonded Concrete Overlays for Rehabilitation of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
As a result of the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), significant funding is now available for the rehabilitation of the nation's Interstate highway system....

Digital Image Processing: Experiences in the Gulf War
During the 1990-91 conflict in Southwest Asia between Iraq and coalition forces operating with US Armed Forces, the utility of products developed from digital imagery and digital terrain...

Digital Image Processing and Analysis in Materials Science (Keynote Lecture)
This discussion presents a generic overview of computer aided imaging in materials science. Some of the questions to be answered are: Does the computer perceive the same things that I...

Multispectral/Hyperspectral Imaging and Data Compression
Remote sensing instrumentation, data and analysis techniques for Civil Engineering applications are similar to those used in multidisciplinary remote sensing of the earth's surface. Data...

Machine Vision Based Traffic-Adjusted Intersection Signal Control
This paper describes some of the available machine vision systems and how they can be effectively used for traffic control at an intersection. A set of rules have been defined which make...

Ground Penetrating Radar: Images of Subsurface Characteristics
Ground penetrating radar has not been widely used for subsurface exploration in Civil Engineering. This paper describes the experimental setup used to explore ground penetrating radar...

Survey of Image Processing Applications in Civil Engineering
A number of imaging products have been developed for civil engineering applications. This paper attempts to survey various image processing applications in civil engineering up to date....

Computer Vision Techniques for Comparing Laser Doppler Velocimeter Scans of a Vibrating Plate to Analytical Plate Modes
Computer vision procedures were applied to velocity images of a vibrating square steel plate. A scanning laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) measured the images of low frequency resonant operating...

Image Enhancement: Application to Geotomography
Image enhancement complements geotomographic reconstruction in the rendering of better images. In this paper, available image enhancement techniques are reviewed. Emphasis is given to...

Application of Digital Images and Processing for As-Built Construction Drawings
The production of as-built drawings is a labor intensive activity that often provides the facility owner with inaccurate or incomplete final drawings. This paper briefly reviews work accomplished...

Image Analysis Applied to Geotechnical Engineering
