Startplan: Producing Schedule Templates Using IRMA
The Information Reference Model for AEC (IRMA) is a generic information modeling standard to support computer-integrated construction (CIC). Although IRMA is still in a conceptual stage,...

Construction Problem Solving in a Cooperative Distributed Agent Environment
This paper outlines the research being undertaken by the authors to determine how experts develop solutions to construction problems in a cooperative distributed agent environment which...

Intelligent Tutoring Systems to Aid Water Treatment Plant Operators
Training for water treatment plant operators exists primarily through short courses at colleges or technical schools, self-study manuals, and on-the-job training. Intelligent tutoring...

Intentions and Credences ? An Australian Approach to Computerised Building Regulation
In the past, computer representation of building regulations has addressed a series of prescriptive requirements. Compliance with each requirement was essential and the only relationship...

Standards Processing 2000
Current software applications fall short of meeting user requirements for `intelligent' electronic access to building codes and standards. Hypertext is a useful tool, but it only assists...

State and Resource Based Construction Process Simulation
Stroboscope is a programming language for construction process simulation. The programming language provides access to the state of the simulation and to the properties of resources. It...

Multi-Objective Optimization of Construction Schedules
This paper focuses on the multi-objective deterministic and stochastic modelling and optimization of construction tasks scheduling. Of particular importance is a frequency need to satisfy...

Using Computer Programs to Develop As-Built Schedules
An as-built schedule documents how a project was built over time. It indicates the start and the end dates of each activity during the construction. This schedule is often used to evaluate...

Decision-Making Paradigm for Risk Assessment of Hazardous Wastes Using Fuzzy Sets
This paper summarizes the development of a risk assessment framework to provide risk-cost policy alternatives to prioritize remediation actions for hazardous wastes. The framework is a...

Managing Uncertainty in Environmental Remediation Project Planning
The cleanup operations in environmental remediation (ER) process, a relatively new area of opportunity for the construction industry, is often avoided due to its perceived high risks....

Linguistic Analysis of Risk in Project Planning
Construction risk analysis models are mainly based on quantitative techniques which require numerical data. However, in many cases, the available information related to uncertainty factors...

Creation of a Modernized Land Information System for Milwaukee County
This paper provides a case study of the creation of a parcel based land information system for a large metropolitan county. The paper describes the structure of the system and the technical...

Quality of Map Data in Geographic Information Systems
Local government engineers wanting to take advantage of computer aided design (CAD) and geographic information system (GIS) need to understand the quality and accuracy of digital base...

TIGER and Census Bureau Data in a GIS: A Powerful Combination for Civil Engineers
TIGER is the acronym the Census Bureau crated to identify its computerized geographic support system: the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing System. Although...

3-D Coordinates - A Universal Rectangular Coordinate System for a GIS and Other Spatial Databases
Rules of solid geometry and 3-dimensional (3-D) rectangular coordinate systems are well known and used in many applications. Points on or near the earth's surface have long been described...

Computer Model for Infiltration System Design
This paper describes a personal computer model which was developed to assist in the design and analysis of infiltration systems. The systems included in the model are infiltration basins,...

Intelligent Design and Remediation of Shallow Landfill Burial Systems
The SLEUTH (Shallow Landfill Evaluation Using Transport and Hydrology) prototype decision support system (DSS) has been developed for design and remediation of shallow landfill burial...

Application of a Geographic Information System to Evaluate Environmental Hazards
The development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) application to evaluate potential environmental hazards within the Bushkill watershed in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is described...

Design of Clay Liner Permeability at Laboratory Scale Using Expert Systems
Unlike other soil properties, permeability of compacted clay is highly variable. The large number of parameters that affect permeability of compacted clay renders permeability unpredictable...

An International Knowledge Database for Ground Improvement Geo-Systems
Ground improvement technologies have traditionally played an integral and important role in major geotechnical construction projects throughout the history of civil engineering and selection...
