The Noise Software Library is a collection of highway noise analysis software tools that are arranged together under a powerful file management system which provides a transparent method...
The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...
Finite Element Analysis and Design of Bridges with Applicatrons of ICAD
This paper describes applications of client-server models, interprocess communications (IPC), and concepts of intelligent CAD (ICAD) to the interactive design and analysis of highway bridge...
Finite Element Representation of Approach Slabs
Approaches to bridges are designed to provide a smooth and safe transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck and back to the highway pavement. Generally this transition area,...
Grillage Analogy for Multigirder Bridges
Grillage analogy is a method frequently used to simulate the structural response of highway bridges with reinforced concrete deck and steel girders. This approach saves substantial efforts...
3D Template of Human Figure for CG Animation in Design
It has become commonplace to use computer graphics (CG) animation in architectural and landscape design. Historically, CG animation has been employed primarily as one of many presentation...
Object Based Visualization of Physical Behavior
In engineering science, the physical behavior of solids, fluids, gases and multiphase systems is analyzed with computational models. Numerical methods form the basis of the computational...
An Object Oriented Approach to Computing with Structural Components
The structural analysis process can be modeled in two separate steps: definition of structural systems and analysis of a discrete numerical model; the transmission between these two models...
Linear Scheduling: A Practical Implementation
This paper describes the features and use of a family of planning structures that provides the basis for a superset of the traditional critical path method which includes linear scheduling....
ICPS: Integrated Construction Planning System by Object-Oriented Planning Models
Knowledge processing for integrated building system planning and construction system planning poses challenging problems to integrate design and construction process efficiently. While...
A Rezoning Procedure for Finite Element Analysis of Rubber-like Materials
In this paper, we propose a rezoning procedure for finite element analysis of rubber-like materials. Rezoning procedures connect the distorted mesh and the newly created and undistorted...
The Optimum Parameter Selection for 4-Point Time Domain Integration Schemes
