Linking CAD and Expert Systems for Constructibility Reasoning
This paper describes the prototype expert system COKE (Construction Knowledge Expert) that was recently developed at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) at Stanford University....
Creative Engineering Design Using Analogy
Designs in different domains vary in structure, performance and in many other aspects. However, their design purposes can be achieved in a limited number of ways. In this paper, we classify...
A Shape Annealing Approach to Creative Design of Structures
This paper shows how shape grammars can be used to model structural engineering problems. The shape annealing algorithm is then used to synthesize component topologies by bringing analysis...
Computer-Supported Creative Structural Design
In this paper, a model for creative engineering design using a network-based design prototype representation and a mutation technique is presented. The model distinguishes between a domain-dependent...
Simulative Calculation of Highrise Building Structure Under Vertical Loads
It is well known, the general structural stiffness and the vertical construction loads are formed storey by storey from bottom to top of the building especially for cast R.C. structure....
Secondary Member Contribution to the Behavior of Damaged Multigirder Highway Bridges
This paper examines the effects of secondary members (cross bracing and diaphragms) on the prediction of the response of damaged simple span steel multigirder bridges. Extensive analytical...
The Reliability Program in Truncated JC Method
JC method is in common use in the structure reliability analysis. In this paper, the program which can be used as to consider the truncated distribution has been proposed, With this method...
Facilities Management System with CAD and Information Control Tools
This paper concerns the establishment of a facilities management (here after referred to as FM) system using ready-made computer software. In general, most so-called FM systems consist...
Using Product Models to Plan Construction
The conceptual design of the CasePlan case-based planning and scheduling system is presented. Case-based reasoning is a promising technique for capturing the expertise of contractors who...
Pre-Design Planning with Intelligent Project Development Brochure (IPDB) System
The functional design criteria and other technical requirements are to be established during the pre-design planning stage of a project. At this pre-design stage, the formulation of the...
Graph?database of Large Dams in China (GLDC)
GLDC is a software with the dynamic processing and categorizing of the main graphs and data of the large dams in China. It can run by means of screen sidebar menu and in interactive mode...
Highway Speed Radar for Pavement and Bridge Deck Evaluation
Radar has been developed as an economical alternative evaluating pavement layer properties and estimating quantities of deterioration in bridge decks. These highway applications are based...
Benefits From Improved Management of Pavement Facilities
Effective management of pavement facilities can provide several benefits both the agency and the travelling public over the long term. The benefits achieved from improved rehabilitation...
Evolution of Pavement Management Systems at the Port of Authority of New York and New Jersey
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the Port Authority) operates the world's largest and busiest airport complex as well as an extensive roadway network. To provide effective...
A Graphics-Based System for Urban Roadway Management
This paper describes a graphics-based system for urban roadway management. The main objective of the system is to select the cost effective maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R)...
Highway Investment Analysis: The Next Generation
The Department of Transportation has developed and is now testing a state-of-the-art modeling procedure which simulates highway improvement selection decisions based on the relative benefits/cost...
French Road Works and Public Transport Investments
A detailed analysis of public highways and urban public transport investments over the period 1984-88, in sixteen French cities, has enabled us to conclude that these expenditures are...
Highway Maintenance and Integrated Management Systems
Maintenance management systems were among the first applications of rational management principles and the (then) the new technology of computers to highway operations. Recent changes...
