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...

Advanced Construction Technology System
The Advanced Construction Technology System (ACTS) is a computer database for the classification, documentation, storage and retrieval of information about emerging construction technologies....

Safety of Passengers on Railway Platforms?Using Various Computers
Recently, it has become very important to take measures to improve platform safety in Japan. Many passengers use railway platforms all day long (from the first train to the last train)....

A New Approach for Road Network and Bridge Planning
Road networks usually include a large number of bridges and tunnels. The locations of these bridges and tunnels are decided by the road planner during the design of the road alignment...

Managing AutoCAD and Intergraph MicroStation Systems
The reality today is that Computer Aided Design information is being transferred from one CAD system to another. More often, sharing CAD information among the design team requires multiple...

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...

Integrated Resident Management Support
Lack of a common data standard among all construction field offices has added cost to overall U.S. Army Corps of Engineers automation efforts. The creation of a common resident office...

A Work Packaging Process Model for Petrochemical Plant Piping Construction
This paper presents a model for the current work packaging process for petrochemical plant piping construction. The basic foundation of the model is formed by identifying major decision...

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....

Resource Leveling Based on the Modified Minimum Moment Heuristic
CPMLevel is an MS Windows computer program that utilizes the minimum moment algorithm to smooth the histogram of a resource in both traditional and overlapped CPM networks. It has interactive...

ICPS: Integrated Construction Planning System by Object-Oriented Planning Models
Knowledge processing for integrated building system planning and construction system planning poses challenging problems to integrate design and construction process efficiently. While...

An Automated Cost Planning System (ACPS) for Construction Projects
This paper suggests an automated cost planning system (ACPS) for planning and scheduling construction projects. The major objective of this system is to further the use of CPM as a planning...

A Rezoning Procedure for Finite Element Analysis of Rubber-like Materials
In this paper, we propose a rezoning procedure for finite element analysis of rubber-like materials. Rezoning procedures connect the distorted mesh and the newly created and undistorted...

The Design Navigator
A building design system has no bridge the gap between the complexity of the design information, resulting from the artifact itself, the large amount of laws, regulations, and restrictions,...

Emergency Response Team Siting for HLRW Movements
The shipment of high-level radioactive waste to treatment plants, storage facilities, and repositories is an activity of major national concern. This paper presents a multi-objective methodology...

The San Andreas Fault System, A Multimedia Earthquake Encyclopedia
The objective of this paper is to present the current efforts underway towards the development of the first multimedia earthquake encyclopedia. This is an attempt to use the treasury of...

The Building Code Desktop for Engineers?
Joint work in progress by John A. Martin and Associates and International Conference of Building Officials to develop an electronic building code information system is presented. This...

A Multimedia Information System for Buildings and Campuses
A multimedia information system currently under development for storage and retrieval of site and building related information is presented. The system is being designed with university...

Architecture of an Object-Oriented Product Model Prototype for Integrated Building Design
The proposed integrated building design system consists of a product modeling framework represented by a general product model and several partial knowledge bases, a conventional CAD system,...

Computerized Approach for Forecasting the Rate of Cost Escalation
This paper reviews the treatment of escalation in construction costs. The causes of escalation are outlined and the effect of escalation on the contractor and the owner is discussed. Various...
