General Purpose Microcomputer Software for Transportation Engineering Applications
A transportation agency or firm faces the challenge of being suitably equipped to gather, reduce, and analyze large amounts of data. The organization must then communicate the meaning...
Data Base for Seismis Rick Assessment in Mexico City
We describe a model to estimate expected ground motions and expected damage, based on intensity damage relations derived for 14 classes of buildings representative of Mexico City construction....
Optimal Design of Building Structures Using the Predetermined Sections
A practical optimization algorithm for the member design of building structure is presented in this paper. The emphasis is particularly concentrated on the practical applicability of the...
Causal Probabilistic Networks in Assessing the Vulnerability of Existing Buildings
A probabilistic assessment of the 'state of health' of the structure is pursued on the basis of pieces of evidence collected by inspection and by querying, in case, historical data bases....
Control of Tracers, Fluids, and Materials for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project
This paper describes use and control of tracers, fluids, and materials (TFM) at the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. Management of TFM is necessary to ensure that site characterization...
The MacCSITS Database: A Tool for Curating Samples
Geologic samples are a primary source of data for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP). The collection and study of the samples is regulated by requirements which mandate...
