Scaling Up is Hard to Do: Experiences in Preparing a Case-Based Design Aid Prototype for Field Trial
We seek to improve the conceptual design process for complex artifacts such as buildings by offering designers access, through an on-line hypermedia library, to documentation and evaluations...

Precedents in Design: A Computational Model for the Organization of Case Knowledge
A computational model of for the organization of case knowledge of precedent knowledge is developed. The model is composed of distinct chunks of knowledge called design stories. A formalism...

Case-Based Design in the SEED System
We present the requirements for case-based design in a software environment to support the early phases in building design and outline an approach to satisfy them. We briefly discuss implementation...

FEM in a Design Code Environment
The results obtained from the use of finite element based analysis tools have created a new problem for designer: Which numbers do we use to check against Code limits? Most of the commonly...

Computer Applications in Structural Analysis and Design
The computer programs have been increasingly used in structural analysis and design to improve productivity. The computer applications in areas of automatic member and foundation design...

Using CADD Application to Support Construction Activities
This paper discusses how electronic CADD submittals from designers can be transformed into a format appropriate for construction planning and management. Currently, design drawings are...

3D CAD Modeling and Graphical Simulation of Mobile Cranes
This paper describes the research performed to lay a foundation for developing a graphical simulation system which can be used in the planning of heavy lifts using mobile cranes. Mobile...

CAD-Based Intelligent Drawings: An Automated Quality Control Approach to Land Development
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is currently used within every discipline of civil engineering. Initially, CAD was employed solely as a drawing/drafting tool. Current CAD packages, in conjunction...

A Frame-Based Drawing Management System Based on Building Object Model
This paper presents current research issues on management of information and knowledge utilized in product design process based on building object model concept. The objective of research...

Modeling Engineering Design Information: An Object?Centered Approach
The benefits of applying object-oriented modeling techniques to represent engineering design information are now well recognized. Various approaches for modeling engineering design data...

Formal Specification of AEC Product Models
This paper illustrates the use of equational specifications in developing product data models. This approach enables a precise and abstract description of products, where both syntactic...

Strengthening the Design/Construction Interface Using Electronic Imaging, Document Management and Work Flow Technologies
The paper describes a conceptual approach for the implementation of document imaging systems as a mechanism for strengthening the design/construction interface. The paper discusses some...

Progression of Computer Applications in Water Supply and Distribution Systems
Over the last two decades, computer applications in water supply and distribution systems have advanced rapidly from the stand-alone applications in system modeling to the integrated platform...

Analysis of I-Girder Highway Bridges
Analysis of a bridge superstructure is complicated by the general geometric and loading conditions. Presented in this paper are three dimensional finite element modeling techniques used...

An Integrated Computer Model for Project Schedule Updating
Current schedule updating techniques rely mainly on field reports to specify completed work. Information provided in these reports are then manually summarized, analyzed, and input to...

Overlaying Digital Images with 3-D CAD to Document as Built Construction
A persistent problem in construction has been documenting changes which occur in the field and preparing as-built drawings. The accuracy and completeness of field measurements is often...

Graphic Visualization for Planning Heavy Lifts
The application of graphical visualization to construction can serve a wide variety of objectives and offers many significant benefits. Heavy lifts are an important component of industrial...

Building Product Model, A First Brick in Computer Integrated Construction
This paper describes the development of a product model as a basis for an information system. This new approach is based on modelling functions of building units rather than physical entities...

Developments to the IRMA Model of AEC Projects
The rapidly advancing fields of information technologies (IT) for AEC and computer-integrated construction (CIC) rely on the ability to represent and exchange information about AEC projects...

Information Modeling and Applications
The objective of this paper is to describe events and findings in the development of a comprehensive information architecture for a building. The information architecture has a goal of...
