Parallel-Adaptive Finite Element Analysis on a Transputer Cluster
This paper describes a parallel-adaptive finite element approach on a parallel transputer cluster of the MIMD type. The analysis is controlled by a special error indicator. In comparison...

The Influence of Preform on the Vibration Mode of a Thin Plate
In this paper, an algorithm is developed for the calculation of the vibration mode of a preformed thin plate. The principal governing equations are derived by using the large-deflection...

Time-Dependent Analysis of Nonprismatic Curved PC Box Girder Bridges
The purpose of this paper is to present a step-by-step computer method for predicting the deflection and stress distribution duo to creep and shrinkage of concrete in nonprismatic, curved,...

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...

Standards for Digital Exchange of Information in the Building Industry
The computer has been used as an effective tool in civil engineering practice for over three decades. During that time numerous software vendors have developed their own proprietary formats...

Project Modeling and Data Standards for AEC
Computer-integrated construction (CIC) will provide the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry with improved computer tools and will support an overall trend towards...

Integrating Database and Geometric Modeling Technologies to Manage Facility Information
Existing engineering data models provide various means of representing, organizing and linking information about constructed facilities in a computer-integrated environment. However, they...

DScheduler: A Deductive Database for Scheduling Building Construction Tasks
Computer applications in the construction domain, such as construction scheduling and estimation, require a large amount of data. Reasoning with complex data is facilitated by Artificial...

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...

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...

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...

Rive, Rive-Grown and Burst Probability of Rolled Compressive Concrete Arch Dam
The rive, every step of the rive grown and even burst of arch dam are regarded as sequence random events. Making use of the probability theory and the achievement of elastic, elastic-plastic...

The Application of Gauss Numerical Integration Method in Arch Dam Trial-load Method Program
The characteristics of Gauss Numerical Integration Method are the unequal distance between nodes and fairly high accuracy. When the number of nodes is n, the algebraic accuracy can be...

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...

Managing the Data Explosion
Sound data management practices have always been central to a successful project. However, the data explosion brought on by high-tech electronic sensors and automatic samplers can exceed...
