Innovative Foundation Designs for Permafrost Conditions in the Arctic
This paper describes the engineering solution to restore the structural properties of permafrost at a site location in the Western Operating Area of the Prudhoe Bay Field. Steel pile supports...
The CADD Landfill
Designing landfills with CADD, engineers have reduced cut and fill calculations from two weeks to two days. Aerial surveys arrive on magnetic tapes and are loaded into computers by in-house...
Countering Terrorist Threats
Musacchio & Rozen assessed the risks and vulnerabilities to a possible terrorist attack of the data processing center of a large European bank. With the increasing use by terrorist...
Facilities Management With CADD
Tyson led a project that began in 1985 to develop an integrated alphanumeric and graphic database for facilities management at Stanford University. Many large institutions could benefit...
Automating Design of Boston's Artery
Boston's Central Artery project is being designed with in-house programs that are helping to overcome problems caused by the sheer volume of diversified data being handled...
Selected Papers from Chinese Journals of Structural Engineering
This book is an initial effort to introduce selected papers from journals published by the China Civil Engineering Society to ASCE membership. The twenty papers in this volume were selected...
Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems
ASCE Manual 69, Manual of Practice on Sulfide in Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems, is intended to help planners, designers, and operators of wastewater facilities understand...
Seismic Engineering
Research and Practice
This volume of Seismic Engineering: Research and Practice contains papers from twenty-two sessions of the 1989 ASCE Structures Congress. These papers represent a wide-ranging interest...
Steel Structures
The seventy-eight papers included in this volume cover the fifteen sessions generally associated with steel structures presented at the Seventh Annual Structures Congress held on May 1-5,...
University-Industry Cooperation for Effective Education and Research in CAD/CAM
It is well known that, for successful conception, manufacture, and marketing of a new product, design and manufacturing activities must be closely coordinated. Decisions made at the design...
Freshman Programming and Engineering Design: Comedy, or Tragedy
It is apparent from the literature, as well as discussions with faculty at other colleges of engineering, that the topics of freshman engineering design and computation are being dealt...
A Broader View of Computer Aided Design: A Novel Course Coupling Art, Communication and Engineering
A novel course is described which brings together faculty and students from Engineering, Communication and Art Departments. Students are introduced to a sophisticated computer art program,...
Perceptions of Architects Regarding Use of Computers and Educational Requirements for Architectural Technicians
This paper identifies those cognitive competencies common to all CAD programs to determine which will best prepare the students for entry-level CAD proficiency and flexibility within the...
Interactive Aircraft Section Calculations for Drag
Large interactive computer programs are being called upon with increasing frequency for the preliminary and conceptual design of aircraft. One drag component which can be estimated at...
Design of Plastic Piece Parts
This paper describes a computer assisted design process originally developed at the University of Wyoming and now implemented in commercial software. In order to address the need for broadly...
Computer Aided Design of Monolithic Integrated Circuits
An algorithm has been developed to relocate the sites of electrical components and integrated circuits. The process simulates site location changes in order that path lengths of conductors...
Constraint Based Design from Research into the Classroom
Design is constraint oriented; much of the design process involves the recognition, formulation and satisfaction of constraints. Constraints are continually being added, deleted and modified...
Stereolithography
Stereolithography is a three-dimensional printing process which produces accurate copies of CAD solid or surface models directly from CAD data. The process uses a moving laser beam, directed...
CAD/CAM: Reverse Engineering Applications
The reproduction of parts for which drawings or CAD files are not available has always caused engineering effort to be expended in a non-routine manner. The need for such a reverse engineering...
Frame Based Expert Systems?The Clear Choice for CAPP Systems
This paper gives a brief overview of Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) systems. We attempt to examine some of the representational problems specifically associated with production...
