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 Modeling of Structural Systems
Computational engineering in structural design is no longer restricted to numerical approaches. Increasingly, also non-numerical, in particular, cognitive problems can be implemented into...

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...

CAD Applications for Material Handling in the Construction Environment
Research at Va. Tech in the area of dynamic behavior modeling and crane damping have been undertaken. The dynamic behavior modeling capability has been designed to us 3-D CAD models and...

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...

A New Approach for Road Network and Bridge Planning
Road networks usually include a large number of bridges and tunnels. The locations of these bridges and tunnels are decided by the road planner during the design of the road alignment...

Managing AutoCAD and Intergraph MicroStation Systems
The reality today is that Computer Aided Design information is being transferred from one CAD system to another. More often, sharing CAD information among the design team requires multiple...

An Object Oriented Approach to Computing with Structural Components
The structural analysis process can be modeled in two separate steps: definition of structural systems and analysis of a discrete numerical model; the transmission between these two models...

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...

ICPS: Integrated Construction Planning System by Object-Oriented Planning Models
Knowledge processing for integrated building system planning and construction system planning poses challenging problems to integrate design and construction process efficiently. While...

An Automated Cost Planning System (ACPS) for Construction Projects
This paper suggests an automated cost planning system (ACPS) for planning and scheduling construction projects. The major objective of this system is to further the use of CPM as a planning...

Application of Computer Simulation in the Research of Rail Structure Vibration Reduction
The wheel/rail system is described here as a random vibration system, and the state variables are expressed with quadratic evaluation function. The passive control problem of the random...

The Design Navigator
A building design system has no bridge the gap between the complexity of the design information, resulting from the artifact itself, the large amount of laws, regulations, and restrictions,...

The San Andreas Fault System, A Multimedia Earthquake Encyclopedia
The objective of this paper is to present the current efforts underway towards the development of the first multimedia earthquake encyclopedia. This is an attempt to use the treasury of...

The Building Code Desktop for Engineers?
Joint work in progress by John A. Martin and Associates and International Conference of Building Officials to develop an electronic building code information system is presented. This...

A Multimedia Information System for Buildings and Campuses
A multimedia information system currently under development for storage and retrieval of site and building related information is presented. The system is being designed with university...

Agent-Based Technology for Facility Design Software Integration
The application of a novel technology called Agent-Based Software Engineering to facility design software integration is presented. The technology is founded on the notion of design agents...

Architecture of an Object-Oriented Product Model Prototype for Integrated Building Design
The proposed integrated building design system consists of a product modeling framework represented by a general product model and several partial knowledge bases, a conventional CAD system,...

Computerized Approach for Forecasting the Rate of Cost Escalation
This paper reviews the treatment of escalation in construction costs. The causes of escalation are outlined and the effect of escalation on the contractor and the owner is discussed. Various...

Knowledge Mapping for Facility Scope Modeling
This paper demonstrated how knowledge mapping can be applied to develop standard scope templates for facility scope management. We first develop several examples to illustrate this idea....
