A Structural Analysis System
In this paper, the importance of the structural analysis in accordance with the construction progress was emphasized to accurately predict the structural behavior of prestressed concrete...
The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...
A Stochastic Cost Engineering System (SCENS) Applied to Estimating and Tendering for Bill of Quantities Contracts
In many countries, contracts based on bill of quantities are very common in construction industry. Although estimating and tendering are overwhelmed by uncertainties, the common practice...
Object-Oriented Modelling for Concrete Structures
The use of computers for the design process has reached wide acceptance. The use is developed in several fields such as CAD, CAM or programs for design of structural elements. Recent work...
Computing with Objects: What Does Industry Hope to Gain from it
Although the need for an integration of engineering tasks has been stressed for a long time, the success that we see in this regard is very limited. We believe that there is justified...
A CAD-Based Construction Simulation Tool Kit for Construction Planning
Current planning and scheduling techniques place considerable reliance on the planners judgement, imagination and intuition. The result of such techniques is typically lengthy text reports...
Knowledge and Information Processing with Drawing Objects in Construction Phase
Knowledge processing by CAD systems poses challenging problems for the efficient integration of design and construction processes. While CAD systems have been applied to various phases...
Computer Application in Analyzing Change Order Work
In heavy construction, particularly on large tunnel projects, numerous tasks are often performed and inspected simultaneously. The project specifications and contract documents require...
Information Integrated Construction (IIC)
The term 'INFORMATION INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION (IIC)' was coined to describe the integration of construction information and practice through computer technology. We define information...
Comprehensive Site Monitoring Through Model Based Reasoning
The authors of this paper have developed a computer object oriented intelligent construction site modeler which is dynamically linked to a 3D CAD system. Model Based Reasoning is used...
Advanced Construction Technology System
The Advanced Construction Technology System (ACTS) is a computer database for the classification, documentation, storage and retrieval of information about emerging construction technologies....
Finite Element Representation of Approach Slabs
Approaches to bridges are designed to provide a smooth and safe transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck and back to the highway pavement. Generally this transition area,...
Safety of Passengers on Railway Platforms?Using Various Computers
Recently, it has become very important to take measures to improve platform safety in Japan. Many passengers use railway platforms all day long (from the first train to the last train)....
Using Data Flow Diagrams to Study Communication Process Between Construction Project Participants
The Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) industry is characterized as being highly fragmented. A large number of diverse organizations participate in the planning, design, and construction...
Integrated Resident Management Support
Lack of a common data standard among all construction field offices has added cost to overall U.S. Army Corps of Engineers automation efforts. The creation of a common resident office...
A Work Packaging Process Model for Petrochemical Plant Piping Construction
This paper presents a model for the current work packaging process for petrochemical plant piping construction. The basic foundation of the model is formed by identifying major decision...
Linear Scheduling: A Practical Implementation
This paper describes the features and use of a family of planning structures that provides the basis for a superset of the traditional critical path method which includes linear scheduling....
Resource Leveling Based on the Modified Minimum Moment Heuristic
CPMLevel is an MS Windows computer program that utilizes the minimum moment algorithm to smooth the histogram of a resource in both traditional and overlapped CPM networks. It has interactive...
