Thermal Shielding in Continuous Span Composite Slabs
The increasing popularity in Europe of composite slabs with cold-formed steel decking has underscored the need to improve calculation rules for the fire resistance. Existing rules have...

Application and Recent Development of a Numerical Model for Composite Beams with Partial Shear Connection
This paper deals with numeric analysis of composite steel and concrete beams for loads up to the ultimate beam capacity. Two versions of a numerical model are presented addressing such...

Real World Applications of Pipeline Leak Detection
This paper covers various leak detection methodologies and how they are integrated into the Williams Pipe Line system. Special emphasis is given to the dynamic model method of leak detection...

Predictive Model Aids in Development of Systemwide Rehabilitation Program
Effective management of urban infrastructure requires accurate assessment of system-wide condition. Working with the City of San Jose, CH2M HILL has developed a computer model to provide...

Proactive Odor Control Using Computer Modeling
The City of Los Angeles (City) is currently designing the East Central Interceptor Sewer (ECIS) as a major relief sewer. The pipeline will convey wastewater flows that originate upstream...

Innovations in the Development and Expansion of Intermodal Facilities
The intermodal industry is a dynamic one, with a long history which has undergone profound change since the introduction of containerization only 30 years ago. Today, change continues...

Trip Rates Adjustments for Impact Assessment and Congestion Management
Evidence that all urban trips are not equal and that trip rates need to be adjusted to reflect the differential contribution of trips to traffic loads and congestion is presented. Adjustments...

BMS Modelling of Bridge Stock Performance
A computer-based Bridge Management System, BMS, was designed in Finland by the Finnish National Road Administration (FinnRA) to assist in high level bridge policy, long-term planning and...

Seeing the Future: Changing Highway Engineering Practice Over the Next 10 Years
The computer age is here, and the more a highway engineer knows about computers, the better. This really symbolizes the direction highway engineers are headed - into a high-tech world...

Influence of Lateral Wind on Driving on Offshore Bridge
The Honshu-Shikoku Bridges are a system of highways crossing over the sea, where cross-winds variously affect vehicle behaviour. This is the intermediate report on the surveys aimed at...

Computer-Aided Liability
Civil engineers are using computers more than ever to help them streamline analysis and design, boost productivity and cut costs. Often they rely on mass-marketed software such as Autodesk...

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...

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,...

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...

Building the SSC: A Texas-Sized Challenge
Assuming it survives politically, the $8.25 billion Superconducting Super Collider could bring major new discoveries in the world of physics. For civil engineers, the Texas megaproject...

Digital-Image-Based Computer Modelling of Cement-Based Materials
Understanding the relationships among materials, processing, microstructure, and properties is critical in improving material design. This paper outlines an approach for furthering this...
