Calibration of a Highway Traffic Assignment Model for the Manhattan Central Business District
This paper describes the application of a traffic assignment model, specifically the TRANPLAN model, in New York City together with the methodologies and the satellite programs that were...

A Speed Prediction Model for New Zealand Highways
This paper outlines a limiting speed model using probabilistic techniques to simulate the different types of vehicles and their performance along a two-lane rural highway. The road to...

Towards Practical Machine Learning Techniques
Most research on the application of machine learning to engineering problems have solved artificial problems. While research claimed to have reached results that would improve practice,...

The Development of an Expert System Used in Preliminary Design of Concrete Bridges
The importance of the selection of the best design on the one hand and the available knowledge, on the other during the preliminary design process asks after a different kind of software...

ESPADD.BR: Expert System Producing Automated Designs and Drawings for Bridges
This paper presents the logic and methodology used in developing an automated software system for designs and drawings of bridges. Its primary purpose is to design and draw highway bridge...

Time-related Deflections of Cantilever Bridges
Many prestressed concrete bridges with spans between 100 and 160 m have been built in the Netherlands. The method of construction is the so-called in situ free cantilever construction....

Automated Design of 3-D Highway Sign Bridge Structures
A PC-based computer analysis/design program for 3-D Sign Bridge Structures including Pre- and Post-processor has been developed. The analysis of thirty different types of sign support...

Characteristics of the US Highway Bridge Population
Characteristics of US highway bridges are summarized, and conditions of national, regional, and state bridges are analyzed with respect to structural deficiency. The overall patterns in...

Flexible Extracation of Practical Knowledge from Bridge Databases
Bridge databases contain significant information that can assist in future bridge management decisions. The effective utilization of this information requires facilities for the flexible...

Performance of New York's Long-span Bridges
This paper is a work-in-progress report on a database on the performance of long-span bridges located in New York State and built between 1801 and 1993. Of the 68 long-span bridges - bridges...

An Inductive Knowledge-Based System for Mitigation of Bridge Fabrication Errors
Fabrication and erection of steel bridges are very error-prone processes. Bridge engineers at the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) felt that there is a need for the development...

Seismic Evaluation of the Macy Street Bridge, Los Angeles, California, Using 3-D Nonlinear Pushover Methodologies
Nonlinearity of the overall bridge response has begun to be incorporated in the design process through a method known as nonlinear static pushover analysis, and this step is now being...

Nonlinear Analysis and Experimental Validation of a Stiffening Truss Chord of the Golden Gate Bridge
Finite element analyses of a stiffening truss chord of the Golden Gate Bridge were conducted by the authors as part of a comprehensive seismic retrofit project conducted by T. Y. Lin International...

Application of the FESWMS-2DH Software to Solve the Navigation Problem at EL-Menya Bridge in Egypt
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the application of a two-dimensional Finite Element Surface Water Modelling System on a navigation problem located along the Nile river in front...

Implementation of Knowledge-Based GIS: A Case Study
This paper describes work almost complete at North Carolina A&T State University, whose primary purpose was to use the increased capabilities offered by geographic information...

Expert System for Bridge Scour and Stream Stability
Significant engineering judgment is required to ascertain the scour susceptibility of bridges. This judgment is typically acquired through many years of experience. This paper describes...

Electronic Yellow Pages for Pre-trip Planning Systems
An attempt has been made to introduce Electronic pages or Electronic yellow pages which work similarly to Yellow Pages. The overall system is divided into user interface, network building,...

A Symbol-form Mapping Framework for Conceptual Design Support
Engineering design involves a strong notion of the geometric structure of design artifacts. Research efforts to support the geometric aspects of design have concentrated on the representation...

Pen Computers in Civil Engineering
Multnomah County, Oregon has developed 'field-to-office' automation systems incorporating pen computers as a data collection tool. This technology was integrated into civil engineering...

BRICAL: A Multimedia Intelligent Educational System for Bridge Engineering
