Construction Information Management
Use and characteristic of Information Systems in the organizations has been changed significantly. These systems are not functionally oriented any more and they do not have any bias toward...

Containing Construction Change with Computers
This paper discusses the benefits of managing construction change orders with computers over manual methods. Construction contracts formulate change procedures that are often at odds with...

Space Schedule Construction
The layout of temporary facilities on a construction site is affected by changes in a construction schedule, including changes in activity duration, resource selection, and resource allocation...

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...

Resource Constrained Time-Space Scheduling Model
This study aims to develop a resource constrained time-space scheduling model, mainly aiming application to pipeline laying world for gas supply under roads in urban area. This model can...

Scheduling of Multi-Story Buildings in a Constraint Environment
Scheduling involves the allocation of resources over a period of time in order to perform construction activities, satisfying project constraints. These constraints, if present, must be...

Model-Based and Interactive Planning for Predictive Plant Maintenance Management
Maintenance of process in power plants represents about 30% of the operating cost of these plants, including the cost of repair labor, materials and out side services but not the cost...

An Integrated Acquisition, Storage and Retrieval Multimedia System for Constructibility Lessons Learned
Constructability is defined the optimum integration of construction knowledge and experience during conceptual planning, engineering, procurement and field operations to achieve overall...

The Denver Airport: Managing a Megaproject
If the 53 sq mi, $2.7 billion Denver International Airport seems daunting in size, imagine trying to manage its construction. Supported by over 100 firms, the five year-long project is...

Invasion of the Zebra Mussels
At first glance, the zebra mussel looked like doom for freshwater users in the Great Lakes: small, hardy, incredibly prolific European mollusks with an affection for freshwater intakes...

Sonic NDT for Infrastructure Assessment
Sonic Nondestructive Testing (NDT) techniques are valuable tools for assessing infrastructure. Relatively recent innovations in the field can reveal the internal conditions of concrete...

How to Get Local Public Works Agencies to Use Structured Infrastructure Management Approaches
As more agencies consider adopting infrastructure management systems, the lessons learned in developing and supporting the use of current systems should be used to structure the support...

Barriers for Innovation and Technology Transfer in the Public Works Infrastructure R&D
Utilization of technologies and innovation to revitalize America's public works infrastructure is beset with barriers. Some critical barriers, identified through literature review and...

Using Condition Indexes to Evaluate Local Railroad Track Networks
The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Laboratories (USACERL) have developed condition indexes for assessing track condition that apply to local railroads. Indexes were developed for the...

An Integrated Design/Construction Research Program for Infrastructure Rehabilitation
The quality of America's infrastructure today is barely adequate to fulfill current requirements, and sufficient to meet the demands of future economic growth and development. This serious...

Patterns in the History of the Urban Infrastructure
Infrastructure construction has been marked not only by a cyclical funding pattern but also by occasional shifts in regard to government level of provision. That is, while some infrastructure...

Comparison of Aqueduct Reconstruction & Tunneling
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) is proposing to provide redundancy for the Hultman Aqueduct which transports water over a distance of roughly 27 km. (16.9 mi.) into...

Reliability Assessment of Concrete Pavement Sawing
Traditional concrete pavement design sometimes realize on qualitative decision based on experience, with concrete pavement sawing operations representing a specific case in point. presently,...

Infrastructure Repair with Polymer Composite Using Recycled Plastics
Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, mainly recovered from plastic beverage bottles, can be used to produce unsaturated polyester resins. Polymer concrete (PC) made with these resins...
