NOISE?A Comprehensive Software Library for Highway Noise Analysis
The Noise Software Library is a collection of highway noise analysis software tools that are arranged together under a powerful file management system which provides a transparent method...
The Application of AI in Highway CAD System
In a conventional CAD System, the process for solving a certain particular engineering problem is fixed stationary in the program. As a result, the program is often modified to fit different...
The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...
Designing in Three Dimensions for Manufacturing Facilities
Du Pont Engineering is using Three-Dimensional Design for the design of our manufacturing facilities. Our 3D design system was used on several projects in 1992, and full implementation...
A Stochastic Cost Engineering System (SCENS) Applied to Estimating and Tendering for Bill of Quantities Contracts
In many countries, contracts based on bill of quantities are very common in construction industry. Although estimating and tendering are overwhelmed by uncertainties, the common practice...
Object Oriented Modeling of Structural Systems
Computational engineering in structural design is no longer restricted to numerical approaches. Increasingly, also non-numerical, in particular, cognitive problems can be implemented into...
Computing with Objects: What Does Industry Hope to Gain from it
Although the need for an integration of engineering tasks has been stressed for a long time, the success that we see in this regard is very limited. We believe that there is justified...
A CAD-Based Construction Simulation Tool Kit for Construction Planning
Current planning and scheduling techniques place considerable reliance on the planners judgement, imagination and intuition. The result of such techniques is typically lengthy text reports...
