The theme of these Proceedings is Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Hydraulics. As indicated by the title, the subject crosses disciplinary boundaries and deals with flow...

Geotechnical Construction Control Data Base Package
A data base can be defined as pieces or groups of data stored together in an orderly form such that access to all or any part of the data can be readily accomplished. A computerized data...

Low Level Artificial Intelligence and Computer Simulation to Plan and Control Earthmoving Operations
This paper describes an advanced computerized method for designing an optimized earth distribution plan for a linear earthmoving project. Modeling and computerized simulation offer a quantitative...

Teaching Experiment in Real-Time Construction Data Acquisition
This paper describes an experiment used in an undergraduate civil engineering course to familiarize students with interfacing electronic instruments mounted on a construction machine to...

Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
The choice of a seismic damage assessment method depends fundamentally on how the assessment will be used, but always involves definition of the expected ground motion and the structure...

ATC Methodology and Data for Rapid Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability
Recently developed Applied Technology Council (ATC) methodology and data provide a technical basis for rapid assessment of structure seismic vulnerability. Methodology developed under...

Solving Nonlinear Equations on a Hypercube
Certain classes of nonlinear systems of equations, such as polynomial systems have properties that make them particularly amenable to solution on distributed computing systems. Some algorithms,...

Supercomputers and their Impact on Civil Engineering
The increasing complexity of today's civil engineering applications requires increasing detail and analyses with associated increased demands on computer resources. At the...

The Promise of Supercomputers
