Hierarchical Substructuring for Adaptive Analysis
An algorithm for the automatic generation, from solid models, of finite element meshes organized as spatially addressable quaternary trees (for 2-D analysis) or octal trees (for 3-D analysis)...

Real Time Data Acquisition in Structural Testing
The process of data collection in real time for structural engineering can be generalized into a process called the real time sequence. The sequence has three major phases: preliminary...

Modeling Construction Operations in the Classroom
Students in construction management need to be exposed to the dynamics of the construction site and become familiar with the interaction of resources. In addition, the student needs to...

Construction Information and Applications Systems in Education
Designers are utilizing relatively sophisticated software but constractors, except for the largest companies, are limited to the most basic business applications. Integrative use of computers...

Project Management in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has a decentralized organization with a central office staff providing functional and policy analysis and eight district offices scattered throughout...

Computer Systems for Construction Materials Management
