Creating and Abstracting Lessons-Learned from BCO Reviews
This database allows reviewers searching for relevant past expertise access to a relatively small set of comments that have been retained frequently for past reviews. The ability to order...

Three-dimensional Modeling for Improving Construction Process Performance
This paper presents experimentation regarding a model for deciding the optimum number of resources that should be allocated to a project. Measures of task and process flexibility are used...

Alternative Decisions for Space-Based Scheduling in Multi-Story Projects
SCaRC (Space-Based and Resource-Based) is a prototype knowledge-based scheduling system that acknowledges work space as a scheduling constraint. The SCaRC system comprises different scheduling...

Extended Topology in Building Design Systems
An important aspect of CAD systems for building design concerns the description of the form of the building, the definition of operation on that form and the way these operations are offered...

Integrated System Environment Using an Object-Oriented Project Model with Multiple-Views
This paper describes the development, present status and future directions for PMAPM, an object-oriented project model designed to facilitate information sharing along the paths through...

Computerized Building Settlement Analyses for a Contaminated Groundwater Remediation Project
The use of spreadsheets is becoming ever more popular in the practice of civil engineering. Engineers are able to use this tool to meet deadlines which were once insurmountable. This paper...

Use of Database in Geo-environmental Engineering
Geo-environmental projects are becoming increasingly complex requiring rigorous mathematical computation and analysis of large amounts of data. This paper looks into how a geo-environmental...

Creating Construction Documents from 3-D Computer Models
Structural engineering tasks can be broken down into three major phases; analysis, design and construction document production. Although automation techniques have focused on these phases...

The Design of a Proactive Cost Feedback System for Construction Project Management
Cost projection in project management requires the adjustment of historical costs to reflect the expected context. Improved cost projections require the incorporation of all relevant contextual...

A Multi-Media System for Organizing Construction Documents
This paper describes the concepts for a system to manage construction documents in a multi-media environment to support efficient retrieval....

Expert System for Bridge Scour and Stream Stability
Significant engineering judgment is required to ascertain the scour susceptibility of bridges. This judgment is typically acquired through many years of experience. This paper describes...

A Hypermedia Constructability System
Traditional civil engineering follows as segmented process of design then construction. Separating the two provides a system of accountability and creativity. One of the shortfalls with...

Multimedia Based System for Analyzing Production Organizations
Construction operations involve many complex operations and relationships. This paper deals with data gathering for productivity improvement-studies, process modelling and simulation of...

Comparing Two OODBMSs: An Application Developer's Perspective
Advances in database management technology lead application developers to consider new implementation options such as Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMSs). Current OODBMS...

Developing an Object Based Planning System for Precast Concrete Building Structures
This paper presents the organization of an object based planning system for determining the preliminary costs, schedules and resources for precast concrete building structures. First,...

OODBMS in AEC Software Development: The Highs and Lows of Developing a Commercial Application
This paper discusses object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS) as an alternative to traditional information management systems for developing a commercial construction industry...

Application of Pen Computing to Construction Inspection
This paper discusses one customized inspection software package which runs on a pen computer. This program provides a format that assures a fast and accurate inspection process....

Bringing the Construction Foreman Into the Computer Age
Field-oriented construction foremen, have continued to use pencil and paper, or sometimes a good memory, to manage their responsibilities. Until recently, the use of the keyboard and the...

Computer-Based Advisors for Environmentally Conscious Green Product Design
We report on several experimental systems intended to provide such assistance. One system intended to provide direct design advice is described in more detail. It was developed by including...

Data Fusion for an ATIS Operational Test: Description and Computational Issues
The ADVANCE project in the Chicago Metropolitan area is the largest operational test of Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) technologies in the U.S. This paper focuses on the process...
