The paper describes a conceptual approach for the implementation of document imaging systems as a mechanism for strengthening the design/construction interface. The paper discusses some...

Applying Multimedia Technology to Project Control
Construction project control and documentation require an accurate, complete, and efficient way of collecting, storing, and retrieving project information. This information contains construction...

Capturing As-built Project Information for Facility Management
Complete, accurate, and timely provision of as-built information plays a critical role in the optimal upkeep of a facility. Facility operators/maintainers usually are delivered a constructed...

Building Product Model, A First Brick in Computer Integrated Construction
This paper describes the development of a product model as a basis for an information system. This new approach is based on modelling functions of building units rather than physical entities...

Information Modeling and Applications
The objective of this paper is to describe events and findings in the development of a comprehensive information architecture for a building. The information architecture has a goal of...

Transactional Support for Concurrent Finite Element Analysis & Design
The finite element (FE) analysis and design process deals with large amounts of complex engineering data. Although sophisticated techniques have been developed for computer-aided FE analysis,...

Overflow Elimination Benefits from GIS Based Technology
Elimination of wet weather overflows through the rehabilitation of infiltration and inflow defects requires careful analysis of the collection system. The integration of geographic information...

Sewers and Computers
The following is a description of a project performed to reduce excessive infiltration and inflow in a municipal sanitary sewer system and to provide the municipality with a computerized...

A Machine Learning Decision Support System for Collaborative Design
The research described in this paper is motivated by the complexity surrounding the development of decision support systems (DSSs) for collaborative design processes. If one realizes that...

Construction Expertise Transfer with Knowledge Based Systems
The experience held by a cost estimating engineer is a valuable asset in every construction company. For a reliable cost estimation at the conceptual stage of a building project, the missing...
