The Application of AI in Highway CAD System
In a conventional CAD System, the process for solving a certain particular engineering problem is fixed stationary in the program. As a result, the program is often modified to fit different...
The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...
Object Oriented Modeling of Structural Systems
Computational engineering in structural design is no longer restricted to numerical approaches. Increasingly, also non-numerical, in particular, cognitive problems can be implemented into...
Object-Oriented Modelling for Concrete Structures
The use of computers for the design process has reached wide acceptance. The use is developed in several fields such as CAD, CAM or programs for design of structural elements. Recent work...
Object-Oriented Data Exchange for the Integration of Design Processes in Structural Engineering
The computer integration of tasks, activities, tools, user and data exchange interfaces, management of knowledge etc. requires a new approach by object-oriented modeling in civil engineering....
A Model to Quantify Work Space Availability for Space?Contrained Scheduling Within a CAD Environment
In any given process work area, a task or activity requires a specific amount of space for its execution. This required space must be accommodate by the physical space of the work area...
CAD Applications for Material Handling in the Construction Environment
Research at Va. Tech in the area of dynamic behavior modeling and crane damping have been undertaken. The dynamic behavior modeling capability has been designed to us 3-D CAD models and...
Computer Application in Analyzing Change Order Work
In heavy construction, particularly on large tunnel projects, numerous tasks are often performed and inspected simultaneously. The project specifications and contract documents require...
Comprehensive Site Monitoring Through Model Based Reasoning
The authors of this paper have developed a computer object oriented intelligent construction site modeler which is dynamically linked to a 3D CAD system. Model Based Reasoning is used...
Finite Element Representation of Approach Slabs
Approaches to bridges are designed to provide a smooth and safe transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck and back to the highway pavement. Generally this transition area,...
The Automation of Freeway Ramp Junctions Analysis
Congestion on urban freeways has been steadily increasing. In contrast, capacity expansion, by means of constructing new roadways, has not kept pace with the growth in demand. The primary...
Object Based Visualization of Physical Behavior
In engineering science, the physical behavior of solids, fluids, gases and multiphase systems is analyzed with computational models. Numerical methods form the basis of the computational...
An Object Oriented Approach to Computing with Structural Components
The structural analysis process can be modeled in two separate steps: definition of structural systems and analysis of a discrete numerical model; the transmission between these two models...
Using Data Flow Diagrams to Study Communication Process Between Construction Project Participants
The Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry is characterized as being highly fragmented. A large number of diverse organizations participate in the planning, design, and construction...
Computer-Aided Decision Model for Selecting a Contractual System
An owner of a construction project often faces the problem of selecting a contractual arrangement. The process of selecting a contractual system depends on the owner's preferred risk sharing...
Linear Scheduling: A Practical Implementation
This paper describes the features and use of a family of planning structures that provides the basis for a superset of the traditional critical path method which includes linear scheduling....
