Transactional Support for Concurrent Finite Element Analysis & Design
The finite element (FE) analysis and design process deals with large amounts of complex engineering data. Although sophisticated techniques have been developed for computer-aided FE analysis,...

Utilizing Mathcad for Hydraulic Design of Stormwater Pump Stations
This paper describes how the software Mathcad was used for hydraulic design of three pump stations (i.e. select pumps and size forcemains). The pump stations are part of a complete stormwater...

A Machine Learning Decision Support System for Collaborative Design
The research described in this paper is motivated by the complexity surrounding the development of decision support systems (DSSs) for collaborative design processes. If one realizes that...

The Development of an Expert System Used in Preliminary Design of Concrete Bridges
The importance of the selection of the best design on the one hand and the available knowledge, on the other during the preliminary design process asks after a different kind of software...

ESPADD.BR: Expert System Producing Automated Designs and Drawings for Bridges

Automated Design of 3-D Highway Sign Bridge Structures
A PC-based computer analysis/design program for 3-D Sign Bridge Structures including Pre- and Post-processor has been developed. The analysis of thirty different types of sign support...

Intelligent Construction Planning
The intelligent construction planning is a stage of automated building realization process. The building is defined in the design stage by its spaces and functional systems. The automated...

Conceptual Models of Product, Project and Document Data; Essential Ingredients of CIC
A number of current on-going national and international standardization efforts which develop standards for information structures in construction are reviewed in the paper. These concern...

Prototype Applications of Integrated Data Models in Construction
Problems in computer integrated construction arises not only from a lack of technically proficient models of data integration but also its lack of experience and understanding of how such...

Object-Oriented Process Modeling to Support Cooperative Planning in Industrialized Building Construction Project
This paper presents current research and develop on process modeling that can support cooperative planning among designer, engineer, project planner and project manager in industrialized...

Empirical Performance Comparison for Symbolic and Subsymbolic Learning Systems
The paper gives a description of a comparative study of two learning systems based on symbolic and subsymbolic learning. The two systems' performance was analyzed using the overall empirical...

Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Building Using Finite-element Techniques
The response of a reinforced concrete building subjected to earthquake loading has been obtained on a personal computer using the finite-element code STARDYNE. For preliminary design,...

Seismic Evaluation of the Macy Street Bridge, Los Angeles, California, Using 3-D Nonlinear Pushover Methodologies
Nonlinearity of the overall bridge response has begun to be incorporated in the design process through a method known as nonlinear static pushover analysis, and this step is now being...

Alternative Decisions for Space-Based Scheduling in Multi-Story Projects
SCaRC (Space-Based and Resource-Based) is a prototype knowledge-based scheduling system that acknowledges work space as a scheduling constraint. The SCaRC system comprises different scheduling...

Integrated Product Models
A review is made of current STEP standards efforts to develop integrated product models, using the Express language. An example of a building wall is presented, along with some general...

Extended Topology in Building Design Systems
An important aspect of CAD systems for building design concerns the description of the form of the building, the definition of operation on that form and the way these operations are offered...

Integrated System Environment Using an Object-Oriented Project Model with Multiple-Views
This paper describes the development, present status and future directions for PMAPM, an object-oriented project model designed to facilitate information sharing along the paths through...

Use of Database in Geo-environmental Engineering
Geo-environmental projects are becoming increasingly complex requiring rigorous mathematical computation and analysis of large amounts of data. This paper looks into how a geo-environmental...
