New Roads for the Micro
Using microcomputers loaded with database software and Fortran programming, engineers are gaining control of pavement maintenance. A number of factors, from urban sprawl to constricting...

Support the Complex
A computerized decision support system (DSS) can help manage the uncertainties of a complex construction project. A construction DSS consists of two interlocking parts. First, it is a...

Databasics
Databases can replace both manual methods and specific software packages written for a variety of tasks in the engineering office. The flexibility of a database makes it more useful than...

Keeping Tabs on CADD
In 1983 Howard Needles Tammen and Bergendoff (HNTB) began to implement a CADD system. Fostering the independence of individual offices while maintaining the company wide standards and...

Getting Personal with Personal Computers
Personal computers can make an engineer's job easier but only if he or she understands something about how they work. New developments in hardward and software can make this...

Storing Drawings on Optical Disks
Optical storage of drawings and maps on compact disks provides better long-term protection and accessibility than with hard-copy documents, and at much lower cost than computerized systems....

Computing on the Run
Portable computers enable engineers to manage projects right at the job site. In addition to this mobility and flexibility, they make it possible for a small firm to automate inexpensively....

Structural Scale Models: Beyond the Computer
The authors build balsa wood structural scale models to supplement their 3D CADD designs because, for complex framing systems or sites with access problems, the models help clients and...

Computer Assisted Mistakes
The proliferation of computer usage by design engineers will continue to generate change in practice. It will affect the process and production of design. It will affect the relationships...

Journal of Aerospace Engineering
The Journal of Aerospace Engineering promotes the implementation and development of space and aerospace technologies and their transfer to other civil engineering applications. Topics of interest include...

Computers Board Equipment
Construction equipment is slowly being automated, either with remotely operated radio controls or by on-board computers that control repetitive tasks. Contractors in the United States...

Translating Science for Coastal Decisionmaking
A uniform process of technical information assembly and application has been conducted for six major estuarine systems in Florida. Since 1976, local and regional coastal resource decisions...

The Washington Public Shore Guide: Spotlight on Public Information
The development of the Washington Public Shore Guide: Marine Waters is traced from its early conception through publication in May of 1986 to the preparation of a supplement late in 1986....

Use of a Geographic Information System as a Tool for Making Land Use Management Decisions for Coastal Wetlands in a State Regulatory Program
The Coastal Management Division of the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources is responsible for protecting and managing activities which occur in wetlands. As a tool for making decisions...

Estuarine Protection Through Public Participation
Because public participation is such a time-honored component of the coastal resource management process, it is often easy to forget the pivotal role that citizen activism and public access...

REMOTS?: Reconnaissance of Benthic Environments
REMOTS(REGISTERED TRADEMARK) technology, a combination of sediment-profile photography and computer image analysis, was developed to address shortcomings in traditional benthic sampling...

Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Results to Date
In 1981, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers initiated a program of monitoring coastal projects. Called the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects (MCCP) Program, its purpose is to aid in...

Trends in Funding and Ties to Solutions in Florida
The most prevalent type of grant projects funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Florida Coastal Management Program were management-related plans....

The Role of Marine Parks Management in the Conservation of Philippine Coastal Resources
The government, recognizing the need to conserve coastal resources, created in 1977 the Marine Park Inter-Agency Task Force to prepare and supervise the implementation of a master plan...

Using the CoastalEcological Landscape Spatial Simulation (CELSS) Model for Wetland Management
A spatial simulation model was constructed to help understand the historical changes in the Atchafalaya/Terrebonne marsh/estuarine complex in south Louisiana and to project impacts of...
