Computer-Supported Creative Structural Design
In this paper, a model for creative engineering design using a network-based design prototype representation and a mutation technique is presented. The model distinguishes between a domain-dependent...

Optimal Processor Mapping for Massively Parallel Finite Element Computations
The exploitation of massively parallel computer for finite element analysis requires efficient usage of processors as well fast speed. For example, the efficiency of a parallel matrix...

Simulative Calculation of Highrise Building Structure Under Vertical Loads
It is well known, the general structural stiffness and the vertical construction loads are formed storey by storey from bottom to top of the building especially for cast R.C. structure....

The Influence of Preform on the Vibration Mode of a Thin Plate
In this paper, an algorithm is developed for the calculation of the vibration mode of a preformed thin plate. The principal governing equations are derived by using the large-deflection...

Time-Dependent Analysis of Nonprismatic Curved PC Box Girder Bridges
The purpose of this paper is to present a step-by-step computer method for predicting the deflection and stress distribution duo to creep and shrinkage of concrete in nonprismatic, curved,...

The Reliability Program in Truncated JC Method
JC method is in common use in the structure reliability analysis. In this paper, the program which can be used as to consider the truncated distribution has been proposed, With this method...

Project Modeling and Data Standards for AEC
Computer-integrated construction (CIC) will provide the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry with improved computer tools and will support an overall trend towards...

Integrating Database and Geometric Modeling Technologies to Manage Facility Information
Existing engineering data models provide various means of representing, organizing and linking information about constructed facilities in a computer-integrated environment. However, they...

Construction Information Management
Use and characteristic of Information Systems in the organizations has been changed significantly. These systems are not functionally oriented any more and they do not have any bias toward...

Using Product Models to Plan Construction
The conceptual design of the CasePlan case-based planning and scheduling system is presented. Case-based reasoning is a promising technique for capturing the expertise of contractors who...

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...

Model-Based and Interactive Planning for Predictive Plant Maintenance Management
Maintenance of process in power plants represents about 30% of the operating cost of these plants, including the cost of repair labor, materials and out side services but not the cost...

Promoting Management Systems Within Organizations
The major effort during the years in which pavement management emerged as an accepted practice was making refinements to the technical models and techniques in the systems. For example,...

Algorithm for Crack Detection in Automated Pavement Analysis
This paper summarizes recent research in various algorithms for detection of pavement cracks. The most successful algorithms use a digital filter to obtain an approximation of the principal...

Modeling the Spatial Structure of Facility Condition
This study develops methods for information extraction that he bridge the gap between the detailed condition data collected by advanced technologies and the information necessary for maintenance...

A Graphics-Based System for Urban Roadway Management
This paper describes a graphics-based system for urban roadway management. The main objective of the system is to select the cost effective maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R)...

Corrosion Model for Concrete Structures
The high basic environment created by concrete pore water protects the reinforcing steel from spontaneously corroding. Chloride ions destroy the passivity of steel in concrete and the...

Optimization of a Maintenance Station Network
This report is about a method for optimizing maintenance station and storage networks for maintenance of various traffic channels like streets, roads and sea channels. The results that...

Economic Paradigms for Infrastructure Management
A key characteristic which has emerged in infrastructure management system is the use of economic models at the network level (as opposed to project level) to help in evaluating program...

TRACS: A Tool for Track Infrastructure Management
TRACS (Total Right-of-way Analysis and Costing system) combines engineering models with life-cycle costing techniques to estimate track maintenance and renewal costs as a function of track...
