An Integrated System for Evaluation, Rating and Management of Bridges
This paper describes a software system that can effectively be used in bridge management and planning. The system integrates several modules each capable of conducting a specific task...

Computer Applications on the Central Artery/Tunnel Project
Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project consists of the reconstruction of a 4.2 mile segment of Interstate Route 93 in downtown Boston, a 3.3 mile extension of Interstate Route 90...

A Decision Support System for the Operation of Joint-Use Parking
A prototype decision support system (DSS) developed for streamlining the operation of a joint-use parking program is discussed. The DSS involves a combined usage of geographic information...

A Highway Maintenance Operation Database
This paper presents the major findings of a study to develop a system design for the implementation of an electronic network which uses personal computers in local highway maintenance...

CADD Applications in Transportation: Beyond Highway Design
Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) software have become very prominent in the design of transportation facilities. There are currently a number of third party packages that operate...

Transport and Communications Information System for Africa
The Transport and Communications Information System for Africa (TCISA) is a customized microcomputer-based prototype information system for planning transportation and communications in...

Validating Expert System Prototypes Using the Turing Test
This paper describes the Turing Test technique to formalize the expert system validation process using a mature microcomputer based prototype expert system that has been developed to perform...

Improving the Graphical Interface in Transportation Planning Software
This paper examines the general issues that drive the development of graphics as a medium for transportation planners. Transportation planning has changed over time, and so has the nature,...

A Peak Hour High Capacity Reservation and Person-Based Functional Classification Concept for Urban Mobility Plans and Corridor Growth Management
The management of future growth and mobility in urban corridors and areas has been based in part upon use of the Levels of Service and procedures of the Highway Capacity Manual. Capacity...

A CADD Program for Simulating Turning Vehicles
The turning capability of one or more 'design' vehicles and their swept paths has a significant influence on the layout of transportation facilities such as roadway intersections, parking...

Regulatory Views on Seismic and Fault-Displacement Parameters Needed for a Geologic Repository Design
This paper presents the regulatory views of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff on some of the significant issues related to the seismic and faulting design of a geologic repository....

Performance Goal Based Seismic Design Criteria for High Level Waste Repository Facilities
This paper proposes a set of deterministic seismic design and evaluation criteria based upon a specified probabilistic seismic performance goal for High Level Waste Repository (HLWR) facilities....

Assessment of the Potential for Tectonic Fault Rupture for High-Level Nuclear Waste Repositories
Active faults that extend to or near the Earth's surface may threaten the safety of engineered structures. The threat can be mitigated by appropriate siting and design, which requires...

Guidelines for the Development of Natural Phenomena Hazards Design Criteria for Surface Facilities
This paper discusses the rationale behind the guidelines, criteria, and methodologies that are currently used for natural phenomena hazard design and evaluation of DOE nuclear and non-nuclear...

A Natural Cleanup
For almost 30 years, nonvolatile petroleum hydrocarbons from used motor oil, diesel, gasoline and other automotive fluids had been released to an oil sum at a truck-maintenance facility...

Engineering: Environmental vs. Developmental Goals
The 1992 winner of the Daniel W. Mead Student Paper competition explores the potential conflict for engineers, between environmental and developmental goals. Noting a dictionary definition...

Data Validation Practices and Risk Assessment
The accuracy of environmental site assessments depends on the validity of the data used to make them, but all too often, the people who judge the quality of the data have little idea of...

Banking on a Bridge
Completing the geotechnical design for the approach embankments and foundations for the Charter Oak Bridge, which crosses the Connecticut River between Hartford and East Hartford, Conn.,...

Wind Engineering?Engineering for Wind Damage Mitigation
The establishment in 1970 of a new engineering discipline, wind engineering, was motivated by property damage caused by windstorms of 1970 known as the Lubbock Tornado and Hurricane Celia....

Simulated Earthquake Ground Motions for Design Purpose
In this paper, firstly, it was clarified that there is a case where in the long-period range there is seen a tendency to follow the ?+-2$/ model approximately while in the short-period...
