Graphical Resource-Based Object-Oriented Simulation for Construction Process Planning
Simulation is a powerful tool for construction process design and optimization. The results of a simulation provide detailed process information, such as resource utilization and idleness,...

Application of Spencer's Method for Slope Stability Analysis
For slope stability analysis with general, arbitrarily shaped failure surfaces, the Spencer's method has been found to provide a reasonably accurate result. This method satisfies both...

Regional Stress Field Due to Water-Filling at Sanxia Dam
This paper uses the observed stress values to simulate the tectonic stress field in the reservoir. Based on the increment analysis method. we discuss the effects and variations of the...

Adapting Conceptual Clustering for Preliminary Structural Design
The use of conceptual clustering for knowledge acquisition can facilitate the development of a knowledge base in a domain where little formalized knowledge is really available. The limitations...

Neural Network Learning in Structural Engineering Applications
Neural networks based on the backpropagation learning algorithm have been used in a number of structural engineering applications. The paper classifies the different types of relationships...

Competitive Advantage of Using Computers in Structural Design
More and more structural analysis and design work is done using computers. The trend will continue because the software is becoming more powerful and the cost of computers is falling....

Computer Aided Experiments for Truss Structures
It is quite difficult to investigate structural mechanical properties by full scaled structure experiments. Consequently, an experiment using a reduced scale model is generally performed....

Simulation Architecture for Advanced Traffic Management Systems
Trends in Intelligent Highway-Vehicle Systems (IVHS), specifically Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) technologies are directed toward better integration between intersection controller...

The Cal Poly ATMIS Traffic Operations Center Simulator
This paper describes the development of state-of-the-art traffic simulation software powerful enough to support a wide range of testbed experiments related to Advanced Traffic Management...

An Application of Fuzzy Set Theory to Preference Analysis in Bus Route Choices
One of the difficulties in applying fuzzy set theory to the real situation is how to determine membership functions. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted to assess bus riders'...

Automated Total Quality Management for the Constuction Industry
This paper describes the design of a computer system, called the Total Quality Management system (TQM), to integrate a Quality Assurance (QA) management system with time and resource management...

Building Renovation Decision Support Model
Theoretically, it may be assumed that with proper construction and maintenance the life of a building could be extended almost indefinitely. In practice, however, buildings tend to have...

Linking CAD and Expert Systems for Constructibility Reasoning
This paper describes the prototype expert system COKE (Construction Knowledge Expert) that was recently developed at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) at Stanford University....

Constraint Management for Concurrent Design and Construction Using an Object-Oriented Project Model
To realize a richer communication among multiple disciplines participants of A/E/C project, an object-oriented product or project model is useful and powerful. especially sharing and maintaining...

Nonlinear Trial Load Method of Arch Dams
The trial load method is still an important method for the stress analysis of arch dams at present. However, the trial load method can be used only for the linear elastic analysis of arch...
