What Do Project Managers (need to) Know About CADD?
Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) is here to stay. Today's project managers are being challenged to master the use of CADD on their projects. CADD often can 'make or break' a project....
Pavement Treatment in Ohio Transportation System
This paper presents a modification of the original method in which the concept of fuzzy set theory is applied in the calculation of the PCR. Fuzzy numbers are introduced to represent those...
Application of Fuzzy Logic in Civil Engineering in Japan
In various engineering fields, many applications of fuzzy logic have been attempted, some of which have been applied for practical use. In this paper, civil engineering applications of...
Bridge Condition Rating Using Fuzzy Sets and an Eigenvector of Priority Settings
A simplified methodology for combining the condition rating of the various elements of bridge components (deck, superstructure or substructure) is developed using a multi-attributive decision...
Application of OOP in Developing Finite Element Analysis Programs Using C++
Using the object oriented programming technique, a library of object classes has been developed and implemented using C+PLU2 for easy generation of finite element analysis programs. A...
Fracture Mechanics Analysis of Welded Joints Using Boundary/Finite Element Alternating Methods
Extensions of Finite Element Dental Stress Analysis
Some two dimensional models for stress analysis of dental crowns are examined and compared in relation to boundary conditions and some other issues in finite element analysis. The current...
Finite Element Limit Load Analysis by the Static Approach Using Nonlinear Programming
The static approach to limit analysis using finite element modelling is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem and applied to the vertical cut problem. Whereas the kinematic approach...
Rotating Crack Model and Fracture in a R/C Medium
In this study the potential of the development of cracks in the members of a reinforced concrete large panel structure is considered. The analysis is carried out using finite element modeling...
Integrating Computer Application for Pavement Management: A Case Study
This paper presents a case study of the process through which a relational database management system and stand-alone application programs are developed and integrated to form a comprehensive...
An Object Oriented Highway Information System in the Client-Server Environment
