In various engineering fields, many applications of fuzzy logic have been attempted, some of which have been applied for practical use. In this paper, civil engineering applications of...

Application of OOP in Developing Finite Element Analysis Programs Using C++
Using the object oriented programming technique, a library of object classes has been developed and implemented using C+PLU2 for easy generation of finite element analysis programs. A...

Extensions of Finite Element Dental Stress Analysis
Some two dimensional models for stress analysis of dental crowns are examined and compared in relation to boundary conditions and some other issues in finite element analysis. The current...

Finite Element Limit Load Analysis by the Static Approach Using Nonlinear Programming
The static approach to limit analysis using finite element modelling is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem and applied to the vertical cut problem. Whereas the kinematic approach...

Rotating Crack Model and Fracture in a R/C Medium
In this study the potential of the development of cracks in the members of a reinforced concrete large panel structure is considered. The analysis is carried out using finite element modeling...

This paper discusses issues required for the development of an object-oriented (OO) highway information system in a client-server environment based on the System Object Model (SOM) in...

Three Dimensional Simulation of Progressive Tunneling Process for Lining Design of Intersecting Tunnels in Soft Rock
This paper presents the results of the state-of-the-art three-dimensional nonlinear finite element modeling of progressive tunneling process and its comparison with field data. Reasonable...

A Version and Configuration Scheme for Collaborative Engineering
This paper presents a data management model for collaborative design. Versions are proposed to support the independent evolution of design alternatives in an individual discipline. configurations...

Database Integration in Support of Construction Management
This presentation will describe how new object-oriented technology is being applied to this problem. The goal of this use of object-oriented systems is 1) to provide a method for processing...

A Computerized Methodology for Conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies
this paper will detail recent improvements with the procedure the New York City Department of Transportation utilizes when conducting Pedestrian Gap Studies. These improvements were made...

Quick Checks for Structural Computer Analysis
When working with general structural analysis programs, there are some fast ways to check the input and output. This paper reviews some methods for verification of results of computerized...

A Real-Time Graphical Interface to a Two-Dimensional Groundwater Flow and Mass Transport Model
This paper describes the implementation of a graphical interface to the U.S. Geological Survey's Method of Characteristics (MOC) groundwater flow and mass transport model....

Facilitate Delay Claim Analysis with As-Built Schedule Databases
A computer-based As-Built Schedule Database can provide a useful tool for the investigation of project performance. The facts recorded in the database may be used to identify actual sequential...

Computer Use in Claims Analysis -- Roundtable Discussion
Preparation or defense of construction claims is inherently time consuming and often counter-productive. This outline discusses some tools currently used in the construction industry to...

CadVisor (CAD Equipment Analysis and Selection System)
This paper describes a system called CadVisor (CAD Equipment Analysis and Selection System) developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratories...

Management Information System Application on a Multi-Million Overseas Project
Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) provides improved data quality, consistency, timeliness, and reporting flexibility and improved project teamwork. Project managers have a...
