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...

Building Renovation Decision Support Model
Theoretically, it may be assumed that with proper construction and maintenance the life of a building could be extended almost indefinitely. In practice, however, buildings tend to have...

Linking CAD and Expert Systems for Constructibility Reasoning
This paper describes the prototype expert system COKE (Construction Knowledge Expert) that was recently developed at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE) at Stanford University....

Constraint Management for Concurrent Design and Construction Using an Object-Oriented Project Model
To realize a richer communication among multiple disciplines participants of A/E/C project, an object-oriented product or project model is useful and powerful. especially sharing and maintaining...

Creative Engineering Design Using Analogy
Designs in different domains vary in structure, performance and in many other aspects. However, their design purposes can be achieved in a limited number of ways. In this paper, we classify...

A Shape Annealing Approach to Creative Design of Structures
This paper shows how shape grammars can be used to model structural engineering problems. The shape annealing algorithm is then used to synthesize component topologies by bringing analysis...

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...
