Conceptual Models of Product, Project and Document Data; Essential Ingredients of CIC
A number of current on-going national and international standardization efforts which develop standards for information structures in construction are reviewed in the paper. These concern...
Prototype Applications of Integrated Data Models in Construction
Problems in computer integrated construction arises not only from a lack of technically proficient models of data integration but also its lack of experience and understanding of how such...
How do Integration and Data Models Add Value to a Project?
Integration has been at the forefront of research agendas of universities and restructuring efforts of companies in the past few years. However, we are still lacking a common understanding...
DETMOD: A Desktop Estuarine Transport MODel
A microcomputer based numerical model designed to simulate the transport of substances within an estuary is presented. The Desktop Estuarine Transport MODel (DETMOD) features a Graphical...
Adaptive Instructor Model for an Engineering ITS
To develop intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for engineering via computer technology, a model of how engineers learn as well as methods in which instruction should occur must be captured...
Microworlds for Learning Through Inquiry
We discuss several computer-based environments to support learning through inquiry, called microworlds, including two focused on steam power plant operation and electronic troubleshooting....
An Interactive Computer Code for Generations of Artificial Earthquake Records
A new interactive computer code is presented in this work for the calculation of artificial earthquake records that comply with any arbitrarily specified target response spectra or power...
Best Route GIS System
A GIS systems was developed for determining the best route to travel, so that the traveler will travel to a number of cities in such a way that he/she will visit each city only once and...
GIS Modeling of Neo-Traditional Neighborhood Development
Emerging strategies for land use development suggest that neo-traditional neighborhoods promote increased accessibility with reduced traffic congestion compared to current suburban developments....
Creating and Abstracting Lessons-Learned from BCO Reviews
This database allows reviewers searching for relevant past expertise access to a relatively small set of comments that have been retained frequently for past reviews. The ability to order...
Three-dimensional Modeling for Improving Construction Process Performance
This paper presents experimentation regarding a model for deciding the optimum number of resources that should be allocated to a project. Measures of task and process flexibility are used...
MoveCapPlan: In Integrated System for Planning and Controlling Construction Material Laydown and Handling
This paper focuses on modeling and improving flow. It presents a computer-based system for planning and controlling construction material laydown and handling. This system, named MoveCapPlan;...
Time-Space Tradeoff Strategies for Space-Schedule Construction
Space availability on a construction site can have a major impact on the efficiency and constructability of a project. Especially when space is limited, tradeoffs between activity sequencing,...
Integrated Product Models
A review is made of current STEP standards efforts to develop integrated product models, using the Express language. An example of a building wall is presented, along with some general...
Extended Topology in Building Design Systems
An important aspect of CAD systems for building design concerns the description of the form of the building, the definition of operation on that form and the way these operations are offered...
Integrated System Environment Using an Object-Oriented Project Model with Multiple-Views
This paper describes the development, present status and future directions for PMAPM, an object-oriented project model designed to facilitate information sharing along the paths through...
Estimating Sediment Relative Density Using an Impact Core Sampler and Wave Equation-based Pile Analysis
This paper presents a case history in which soil sample drive resistance was modeled with a wave equation-based pile analysis computer program to estimate in situ sediment relative densities...
Automatic, Remote, Multiplexed Geotechnical Measurements with Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) has been employed successfully in geotechnical applications such as monitoring of rock mass deformation in a variety of geometries; however, required operation...
