Construction of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement
Roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is the product of a relatively new concrete paving technology in which a zero-slump portland cement concrete mixture is spread with modified asphalt...

Project Cost Control for Heavy Equipment
Some concepts and methods of project cost control for heavy equipment have been defined, which include methods, effectiveness, outside repairs, and the resulting management information,...

Total Cost Purchase Options Buy vs Lease vs Rental Conversion Cash Flow Analysis
Today's financing alternatives are very complex and sometimes difficult to comprehend. The combined effect of the slow economy and uncertain future workload has accelerated...

Alternative Methods for Payment of Construction Equipment Ownership Costs on Federally Funded Projects
Construction equipment investment is a significant portion of the capital investment for contractors specializing in heavy construction. Operating this equipment under the changes clause...

Earthwork and Resource Estimation on Large Expedient Projects
A computer-aided technique is being developed for planning, design, estimating, and scheduling of horizontal construction for facilities required to support military operations. This technique...

Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
The choice of a seismic damage assessment method depends fundamentally on how the assessment will be used, but always involves definition of the expected ground motion and the structure...

ATC Methodology and Data for Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
Recently developed Applied Technology Council (ATC) methodology and data provide a technical basis for rapid assessment of structure seismic vulnerability. Methodology developed under...

Application of the BEM to Elastodynamics in a Three Dimmensional Half Space
The boundary integral equations (BIEs) are formulated for scattering problems of elastic waves by a cavity or a crack in a three dimensional half space. Two formulations based on the Green's...

Explicit Integration of Boundary Integral Equations in the Frequency Domain for Wave Scattering Problems
The goals of this article are: (1) to present an efficient method for the integration of the boundary integral equations for wave scattering problems and (2) to apply this method to the...

A BEM-Perturbation Technique for Membrane Structures
Most of the previous work has concentrated on the free vibration problem. The present paper examines the problem of low frequency forced vibrations of a membrane due to an oscillatory,...

Nonlinear Quasi-Static and Transient Response Analysis of Shallow Shells: Formulations and Interior/Boundary Element Algorithms
Nonlinear integral equations are derived for the representation of displacements of shallow shells undergoing moderately large, quasi-static or dynamic deformations. A combined interior/boundary...

A Study on Non-Conforming Boundary Elements in Elastomechanics
This work is a critical study on the performance of non-conforming boundary elements in three-dimensional elastomechanics. The pervasive way of implementing the boundary element method...

3-D Flexible Embedded Machine Foundations by BEM and FEM
A study on the dynamic response of three-dimensional flexible massless foundations of arbitrary shape, embedded in a homogeneous, isotropic and linear elastic half-space and subjected...

Harmonic Vertical Pile Response in Non-Homogeneous Medium
This paper describes the application of the boundary element method to determine the steady state response of vertically loaded floating piles in a non-homogeneous medium in which the...

Vibration Isolation of Structures From Surface Waves in Layered Soil
This work deals with the problem of isolation of structures from ground transmitted surface waves generated by machine foundations. The isolation is accomplished by means of rectangular...

Connection Panel Zone Deformation in Steel Frames
Conventional analyses of frameworks are usually carried out without considering the effect of panel zone deformation on frame behavior. As a result, center-to-center distances rather than...

The Status of Risk Analysis in Water Resources Engineering
Acceptance of probabilistically based risk-analysis evaluation methods among water resources engineers is rather slow, as it is among other engineering specialities. Academic researchers...

Fuzzy Sets Bring Ideas Into Focus
Fuzzy set theory was born out of a dissatisfaction with classical crisp sets and binary logic. Conventional computers, despite 30 years of evolution, are still rigidly precise, number...

Some Recent Advances in Automatic Mesh Generation
The establishment of automated finite element modeling procedures must begin with the development of automatic mesh generators capable of producing a valid finite element mesh for any...

Modern Methods for Automatic FE Mesh Generation
An overview of the various Finite Element mesh generation techniques is presented. Since most automatic FE Mesh Generation techniques read in geometry of the object and create meshes on...
