RISApplying Portable Computing and Hypermedia to Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Advances in computer technology now allow the use of portable computers at the construction site. Several emerging technologies can be applied to construction. These include hypertext and hypermedia, portable pen‐based ...
Applying Handheld Computers in the Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Handheld computers are becoming more powerful and their application to construction projects is becoming increasingly feasible. Wireless connectivity allows handheld computers to access the Internet for Web-browsing and ...
Hypertext Data Base Applications in Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hypertext is a data base system of text and graphics that allows a reader to jump from idea to idea depending on one's interest. Hypertext can be applied to construction to provide interactive reference manuals for controlling ...
Predicting Changes in Construction Cost Indexes Using Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction cost indexes provide a comparison of cost changes from period to period for a fixed quantity of goods or services. Back‐propagation neural‐network models have been developed to predict the change in the
Modeling Dredging Project Cost Variations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains a database of cost information for competitively bid dredging projects. These data were used to construct linear regression models and radial-basis-function neural networks to ...

Neural Networks for Backcalculation of Moduli from SASW Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves (SASW) method is a seismic technique for the in-situ evaluation of elastic moduli and layer thicknesses for pavement and soil systems. The inversion process currently used to analyze ...
Influence of Impeller Shroud Forces on Turbopump Rotor Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The shrouded-impeller leakage path forces calculated by Childs (1987) have been analyzed to answer two questions. First, because of certain characteristics of the results of Childs, the forces ...
Application of TQM to Environmental Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cost and schedule data were obtained for 40 environmental construction projects built for the United States Navy. Total Quality Management (TQM) techniques were used during the construction of 21 of the projects. The amount ...
Three Dimensional Printing: Rapid Tooling and Prototypes Directly from a CAD Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three Dimensional Printing is a process for the manufacture of tooling and functional prototype parts directly from computer models. Three Dimensional Printing functions by the deposition of ...
