Automated Analysis Model Generation
The state of development of the capabilities needed to automatically link the geometric definition of a CAD system to finite element analysis is discussed. Areas considered include fully...
Engineer-Constructor Experience with Computer Aided Design and Engineering
Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation has used CAD/CAE equipment since 1974 and has developed organizations and procedures for integrating the technology into the design process....
Influence of Connection Behavior on Steel Frame Designs at Factored Loads
This paper illustrates how interactive computer graphics, when interfaced with nonlinear inelastic frame analysis programs, can provide a powerful tool for design of semi-rigid frames...
Consulting Engineers' Experience with CAD
A general, brief history of the role of computers in design in consulting engineering practice is presented. Their changing role from their initial early use to today's involvement...
The Use of Soil Mechanics Capabilities in a General Purpose Finite Element Program
This paper describes capabilities, points out features of implementation in a general purpose code, and describes some numerical considerations. The paper makes use of illustrative solutions....
Consolidation Performance of Soft Clays: Part 1. Model
The simplified version of the soil model used in the finite element scheme is a linear anisotropic elastic model. Part 1 defines the parameters needed for the model and the laboratory...
Trends in Computerization in the Eighties

This is the seventeenth report in a series of biennial salary surveys conducted by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Salary data is reported on seven major categories for civil...
Pavement Recycling: Stopgap or Remedy?
Recycled pavements cost less than new asphalt concrete overlays, but no long term data has ratified how recycled pavements' strength and durability compare to virgin material....
Infrastructure: Money and Methods
State and local governments have started to cope with their infrastructure problems by passing bond issues, establishing infrastructure banks to centralize resources and decision making,...
Land Application of Dredged Material at Port Manatee
Maintenance dredging of approximately 600,000 cu yd of highly plastic clay was conducted in October 1983. This material was deposited on a nearly 200 acre tract of farmland in a depth...
Dredging Developments in the Canadian Arctic
The use of dredges in the Canadian Arctic in connection with oil exploration programmes has lead to the adaptation of existing and adoption of new techniques. Further development is required...
Design and Construction - Theodore Ship Channel
Environmental impacts, greater technological capabilities, and improved evaluation techniques make the disposal of large quantities of dredge material more complex and involved. Also,...
Open Water Disposal for Marsh Creation James River, VA
There is a need for close cooperation between design and construction of levees on soft foundation for containing dredge material. The scope of this study included marine exploration,...
Selection of Dredged Material Disposal Sites
Federal and state legislation regulating dredging of navigation channels along Maryland's Eastern Shore requires that local governing bodies provide the dredged material disposal...
Placing of Impermeable Underwater Membranes
An impermeable underwater membrane has been applied successfully in the construction of a lowered road section in the Netherlands. In this paper the construction technique is discussed...
Settlement and Stability of Ocean Disposal Mounds
