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,...

The Optimum Parameter Selection for 4-Point Time Domain Integration Schemes
In this paper, a general method of time dimension discretization based on the idea of finite element is presented for dynamic analysis. Two kinds of recurrent formulations are derived...

What is Multimedia Computing?
Computing changed dramatically in the 1980s. The emergence of the personal computer desktop as a standard has spawned the existence of an incredible 60 million personal computers worldwide....

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...

Interdisciplinary Communication of Design Critique in the Conceptual Design Stage
Computer tools provide little support for the communication of design concepts and problems across disciplines. Our objective is to help bridge the communication gap between architects...

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...

Computer Estimating & Cost Control History & Evolution at Perini
Computers have played an important role in the construction industry, particularly in estimation and cost control. With increasing number of personal computers, and software packages in...

Explanation Facilities for Intelligent Engineering Tutors
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide a method for humans to interact with a computer to learn about a particular topic. Usually, the ITS system has as part of its components a knowledge-based...

An Integrated Computer-Based Total Design Environment for Civil Engineering Education
The nature of design within the professional practice of civil engineering today, combined with the curricular and content requirements for design of the Accreditation Board for Engineering...

A Structural Engineering Education Image Database
An interactive multimedia environment has been developed to allow students and instructors access to digital images from case studies of structures and structural failures. In this multimedia...

GT BEAM ? An Interactive Graphic Beam Analysis Program for Education
An interactive beam analysis program called GT BEAM, that has been developed at Georgia Tech for use in undergraduate mechanics courses, is presented. The development objectives of the...

Thin-Walled Finite Element for Curved Multicell Box Girders
The generalized Vlasov's thin-walled beam theory was combined with the finite element technique to develop a new curved thin-walled multicell box girder finite element which can model...

Dynamic Response of Bridges Under Traffic Loads
Numerous analytical and experimental investigations have been carried out in the past to study the complex dynamic problem of the response of a bridge deck to a moving vehicle. However,...

Development of an Integrated System for Structural Design of Buildings Using OODP Method
This study serves as a starting point for the development of an integrated system in the structural design domain. In this paper we describe the issues that arise in the integration throughout...

A Program Architecture for Interactive Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Structures
This paper discusses a general object-oriented architecture for use in nonlinear dynamic structural finite element analyses. In light of the special issues surrounding such analyses, the...

Object-Oriented Finite Element Modeling
The present paper studies the suitability of object-oriented modeling strategies for problems of structural mechanics. After a general discussion of the topic, special emphasis is put...

Dynamic Analysis of Beams on a Pasternak Foundation
Since many years pavement engineers apply very simple statical models to analyze their specific problems. The development of numerical tools and easily available computer power make much...

A Generalized Three Invariants Cap Model and its Numerical Implementation to Study Soil-Foundation Interaction
This paper presents a modified cap model that is capable of characterizing cyclic stress-strain behavior of soils and describing variation of shear strength along various stress paths...

Properties in Sensitivity Coefficients of Framed Structures
This paper presents a special relationship among sensitivity coefficients of static response, natural frequency and mode. The relationship is that the sum of sensitivity coefficients in...
