Analysis of Port Allen Lock in Elastic-Plastic Soil Medium
Incremental finite element analyses using Drucker-Prager plasticity model are applied to study the interaction of Port Allen Lock with its surrounding soil. The analyses not only consider...

Discrete Modeling of Soil-Structure Interaction Under Dynamic Loading
A proposal of discrete modeling useful to describe behavior of structures burried in the ground under air explosion is presented. In the modeling emphasis is laid on determining the space...

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...

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...

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...

Characteristics of the US Highway Bridge Population
Characteristics of US highway bridges are summarized, and conditions of national, regional, and state bridges are analyzed with respect to structural deficiency. The overall patterns in...

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,...

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...

Computerized Building Settlement Analyses for a Contaminated Groundwater Remediation Project
The use of spreadsheets is becoming ever more popular in the practice of civil engineering. Engineers are able to use this tool to meet deadlines which were once insurmountable. This paper...

An Object-Oriented Approach to PC Finite-Element Solutions
A methodology for developing a finite-element program with a variety of applications within civil engineering is presented. Application include simple structural analysis, groundwater...

Application of OOP and GUI to the Development of Educational Software in Structural Mechanics
A pilot project on the development of educational software in structural mechanics is reported herein. A computer program for the demonstration of shear, moment, and deflection diagrams...

A Flexible Structural Analysis Method for Computer-Aided Preliminary Design
This paper presents a new method for supporting structural analysis during preliminary design stage that is based on Gere's idea of 'moment distribution'. The extension is that in this...

A Simplified Method of Multistory-frame Analysis Including the P-? Effect
A simplified method of non-iterative analysis of rigid multistory-frames having vertical columns with different heights within the same story is developed by means of a modification to...
