AM or GIS for Managing Infrastructure
The two approaches to managing infrastructure are discussed in this paper: Automated Mapping (AM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) It is very important to recognize their similarities...

Inspection and M&R Decisions for Infrastructure
This paper reviews different possible mathematical formulations for a joint inspection and M&R decision-making model, having various levels of restriction and computational complexity....

An Overview of Markovian Models for Bridge Management Systems
The typical infrastructure maintenance decision-making environment involves multiples objectives, uncertainty, and dynamics of the most commonly used infrastructure models, which captures...

Infrastructure Planning for Private Sector Investment
To minimize the use of public resources for infrastructure development, major works are being initiated in Latin America with studies designed to attract capital investment from the private...

Infrastructure Planning in Beirut, Lebanon
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for structuring the decision process of planning for transportation infrastructure rehabilitation and development in the city of Beirut, Lebanon....

Uncertainty in Infrastructure Management
The difference between committed costs and actual expenditure is a margin of control in project management. By using a measure of uncertainty we construct a cost-risk evaluation framework...

Risk Analysis Methodology for Life Cycle Benefit Analysis of Innovative Construction Technologies
The adoption of new construction technologies into practice moves very slowly since participants in the construction processes are extremely risk adverse. Innovation barriers are characterized...

Sensitivity Analysis of Financial Forecasts for MBTA Infrastructure Investment Program
This paper describes a financial analysis methodology and model developed for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), which provides comprehensive projections of the relationships...

Case Study of Electronic Toll Collection in the Central Artery/Tunnel Project?Boston
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues involved in incorporating new technology, specifically electronic toll collection into a large, long-term construction project. The paper...

Contractor's Quality Program Requirements
To examine the applicability of modern QC/QA techniques to large HSGT infrastructure projects constructed by outside contractor consortia....

Concurrent Engineering Planning in HSGT Systems
Why should concurrent engineering concepts and TQM (Total Quality Management) procedures be considered for large scale HSGT (High Speed Ground Transportation) engineering and planning...

High Speed Rail Loading Scenario and Dynamic Tuning of Track
Similarities and differences exist between conventional and high speed rail (HSR) infrastructure design. The differences stem from the dynamic nature of the HSR loading scenario and the...

ICE-HSR-System?Infrastructure, Rolling Stock, Operation
High-Speed trains such as the Japanese Shinkansen train in operation since 1964, the French TGV (train a grande vitesse) introduced in 1981 and the German ICE (InterCityExpress) running...

Coastal Zone Management in Atlantic Canada: Developing the Necessary Regional Infrastructure
This paper focuses on the incremental development of a coastal zone management (CZM) constituency in the Atlantic Region and in particular on the recent establishment of the Atlantic Coastal...

Improvement of Terminal Reliability and Travel Time Reliability Under Traffic Management
Terminal reliability and travel time reliability of road networks are proposed as new indicators for road network management and construction. First, the significance of road network management...

Computing in Civil and Building Engineering
This proceeding consists of papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering held in Anaheim, California, June 7-9, 1993. The proceedings...

Short-Span Bridge Solutions
Large bridges get most of the headlines, but the nation's huge network of small bridges (many with spans of less than 25 ft) may be more in need of replacement. Age, corrosion,...

London Linkage
Although it measures just 1.8 km, the Limehouse Link tunnel in London is both a complex engineering project and a gateway to urban renewal. The link is a $350 million highway tunnel connecting...

Threats to Bridge Stability from Scour Related Failures of Drop Structures
Catastrophic failure of bridge foundations may occur when channel bed elevations are lowered unexpectedly. Bridges to be constructed in channels that are known to have bed degradation...

An Improved Method for Measuring System Performance of Hydraulic Infrastructure Systems
