ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Improvement Algorithm for Limited Space Scheduling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Selecting construction methods, scheduling activities, and planning the use of site space are key to constructing a project efficiently. Site layout and activity scheduling have been tackled as independent problems. Their ...
SightPlan Experiments: Alternate Strategies for Site Layout Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: SightPlan is a knowledge‐based system that lays out temporary facilities on construction sites. Its implementation architecture calls for explicit representation of the problem‐solving strategy used to construct a solution ...
SightPlan Model for Site Layout
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model that uses artificial intelligence programming techniques is presented as a new tool for layout designers. This model, named SightPlan, represents the layout process as well as the layout product. A description of ...
Interactive Dynamic Layout Planning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The layout of temporary facilities on a construction site necessarily changes over time, so the term
Site‐Layout Modeling: How Can Artificial Intelligence Help?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using the site‐layout task as an example to compare existing practices and tools used in industry and research environments, this paper puts artificial intelligence (AI) modeling techniques in perspective. The site‐layout ...
Assembly of Simulation Networks Using Designs, Plans, and Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An object‐oriented and interactive computer system is presented that realistically models construction processes by matching resource properties with design component properties and operation durations. This system, named ...
Comparing AHP and CBA as Decision Methods to Resolve the Choosing Problem in Detailed Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods can help designers address the choosing problem in building detailed design. Many, however, appear to assume that all methods are equivalent. This paper argues that differences ...
Dynamic Layout Planning Using a Hybrid Incremental Solution Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Efficiently using site space to accommodate resources throughout the duration of a construction project is a critical problem. It is termed the “dynamic layout planning” problem. Solving it involves creating a sequence of ...
