RISSystem that Learns to Design Cable-Stayed Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The critical design decisions in bridge design are made at the preliminary design stage. They depend on the expertise of the designer, built up from extensive experience. Experience is difficult to acquire, and may be ...
A Representation for Conceptual Design of Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The building representation for storing design solutions adopted in SEED-Config consists of two levels of abstraction models defined on top of the object-oriented data model. The first level is an information model, called ...
Constraint Enforcement in a Structural Design Data Base
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During the design of a commercial structure large amounts of information pertaining to all aspects of the project must be stored, accessed, and operated upon. A data base management system (DBMS), composed of a central ...
Knowledge‐Based Standard‐Independent Member Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a knowledge‐based model of the structural component design process. The primary knowledge source is a design standard, which is a collection of requirements limiting the behavior of structural components. ...
Manipulating Shape and Its Function
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shape and other geometric information about design objects play a pivotal role in design. Shape grammars provide a technique to manipulate and reason with shape. A shape grammar consists of a set of productions on rules ...
Role of ASCE in the Advancement of Computing in Civil Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Computing has emerged as a major focus area in civil engineering, just as it has in other disciplines. This paper examines the role of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in the advancement and development of ...
Closure to “Aspects of Virtual Master Builder” by Victor E. Sanvido, Steven J. Fenves, and John L. Wilson (July, 1992, Vol. 118, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Aspects of Virtual Master Builder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current processes of planning, design, construction management, and facility management are driven by the collection and communication of large quantities of knowledge, data, and intent, much of which are lost due to ...
CPM2: A Core Model for Product Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The initial core product model (CPM), developed at NIST for the support of in-house research projects, has been extended to create CPM2, intended to support a broad range of information relevant ...
Product Information Exchange: Practices and Standards
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper discusses the evolution of product information exchange from point-to-point exchange of geometry between computer-aided design tools through today’s suite of tools and processes of ...
