Information Integrated Construction (IIC)
The term 'INFORMATION INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION (IIC)' was coined to describe the integration of construction information and practice through computer technology. We define information...
Comprehensive Site Monitoring Through Model Based Reasoning
The authors of this paper have developed a computer object oriented intelligent construction site modeler which is dynamically linked to a 3D CAD system. Model Based Reasoning is used...
Emergency Response Team Siting for HLRW Movements
The shipment of high-level radioactive waste to treatment plants, storage facilities, and repositories is an activity of major national concern. This paper presents a multi-objective methodology...
Multiple Objectives, Uncertainty and Routing Decisions for Hazardous Materials Shipments
Explicit consideration of multiple objectives and uncertainty is important in hazardous materials transportation, particularly in regulating routes or making routing decisions. Application...
The Hybrid Solution Approach of ESBE
ESBE is the hybrid object-oriented expert system for the optimization of construction site layout. The task is the dimensioning and the arrangement of the individual construction site...
The County Sanitation Districts' Experience in Computerized Solid Waste Management Data
The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, California (Districts) utilize computers and computerized information for a wide range of applications related to their solid waste...
Exchanging Layout and Schedule Data in a Real-Time Distributed Environment
Unpredictable site conditions and unforeseen changes in construction work may result in inefficiencies due to a shortage of work space and difficult access to critical areas on site. This...
The Design and Installation of a Distributed Controls System at the Bissell Point Wastewater Treatment Plant: A Case Study
The Bissell Point Wastewater Treatment Plant is undergoing a $210 million dollar change, which includes a new Distributed Controls System (DCS). The new DCS is being installed in phases...
Interference Detection with 3-D Computer Models
Interferences between building components during construction is an inherent byproduct of multiple disciplines designing their components separately. Manual solution techniques for detecting...

Computer simulation...
Automated Total Quality Management for the Constuction Industry
This paper describes the design of a computer system, called the Total Quality Management system (TQM), to integrate a Quality Assurance (QA) management system with time and resource management...
Space Schedule Construction
The layout of temporary facilities on a construction site is affected by changes in a construction schedule, including changes in activity duration, resource selection, and resource allocation...
Resource Constrained Time-Space Scheduling Model
This study aims to develop a resource constrained time-space scheduling model, mainly aiming application to pipeline laying world for gas supply under roads in urban area. This model can...
Applying PMS Lessons to New Infrastructure Tools
The objective of this paper is to present a historical summary of the factors which have influenced the successful implementation of pavement management system (PMS) for the lessons learned...
Infrastructure Repair with Polymer Composite Using Recycled Plastics
Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, mainly recovered from plastic beverage bottles, can be used to produce unsaturated polyester resins. Polymer concrete (PC) made with these resins...
