Harmonizing Organizational and Personal Needs
A system is presented for result-oriented allocation of time, energy and resources between the three important forces controlling any manager's life: himself, his family and...
Limiting Tip and Side Resistance: Fact or Fallacy?
The tip and side resistances of deep foundations do not reach a limit at a critical depth; instead, they increase with depth. For the tip, the rate of increase decreases with depth. For...
Functional Specifications of a Distributed Engineering Data Management System
The development of a large-scale engineering data management system is outlined for AEC industries. Described are the outline specifications and basic design decisions used to implement...
Database Management
Computer aided design systems have found widespread acceptance from Engineering companies as drafting/detailing/drawing tools. While this has brought a dramatic productivity improvement...
Toward Interactive Color-Shaded Rendering in CAD
A software package (CATSIG) is described which allows the user to interactively color shade geometric objects created on a sophisticated commercial CAD system (CATIA). The novel features...
Relational Model for Computer Analysis and Design
One of the most critical elements in engineering analysis and design is data management. Relational database systems have been proven to be an excellent tool for managing the voluminous...
