Artificial Neural Network Approach for Pavement Maintenance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The major objective of a pavement maintenance decision support system (PMDSS) is to assist decision makers in selecting an appropriate maintenance and repair (M&R) action for a defected pavement. This is typically performed ... -
Calculating Weight Matrix of Neural Network for Resource Leveling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In this paper, a new approach for the computation of the weight matrix of a Hopfield neural network for resource leveling is introduced. The proposed method achieves significantly improved efficiency over the conventional ... -
Evolutionary Algorithm for Minimization of Pumping Cost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper deals with minimizing the total cost of pumping in a liquid pipeline. Previous experience with the most common solution procedures in pipeline optimization is discussed along with their strengths and weaknesses. ... -
MS_CMAC Neural Network Learning Model in Structural Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)The present American Institute of Steel Construction specifications use the alignment charts and approximate formulas conveniently to determine some coefficients in design, such as moment gradient coefficient -
Constraint-Based Support for Collaboration in Design and Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Solution spaces are proposed, instead of single solutions only, to support collaborative tasks during design and construction. Currently, partners involved in construction projects typically assign single values for subsets ... -
Digital Image Analysis to Assess Microbubble Behavior in Porous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Air sparging is a commonly implemented technology for the remediation of volatile organic compounds from contaminated soil and ground water. In the sparging process, air is pressurized into the soil/ground-water matrix ... -
Building Design Services in a Distributed Architecture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper describes a distributed architecture that enables the delivery of building design services over the Internet. The architecture of an individual service is three tiered. The first tier is a common communication ... -

Site-Level Facilities Layout Using Genetic Algorithms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Construction site-level facilities layout is an important activity in site planning. The objective of this activity is to allocate appropriate locations and areas for temporary site-level facilities such as warehouses, job ... -
Editorial: Avoiding Engineering Failures Caused by Computer-Related Errors
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
The Civil Engineering Resource Library
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The delivery of civil engineering projects requires civil engineers to address a broad spectrum of issues generated by both project participants and regulatory agencies. Providing tools that assist team members in addressing ... -
Editorial: Assessing the Accuracy of Computing in Structural (Seismic) Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Hybrid Environment for Standards Processing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The terms code of practice and standard are used interchangeably throughout the profession and refer to the same documents, namely, those which prescribe a set of regulatory, mandatory, or obligatory rules to which every ... -
Verification and Validation of Case-Based Prequalification System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The current practice of contractor prequalification is characterized by the reliance on expert judgment and experiential knowledge. Previous studies have identified that the information concerning contractors' attributes ... -
Editorial: Data Acquisition Through Emerging High Resolution Satellite Imagery
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998) -
Information Management in a Collaborative Multiactor Environment: The COMMIT Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)To support collaborative engineering, it is important not only to share information, but also to manage that information in a manner that actively promotes integration. This paper describes the central models underlying ... -
Novel System for Automatic Pavement Distress Detection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Statistics published by the Federal Highway Administration indicate that maintenance and rehabilitation of highway pavements in the United States requires an expenditure of over $17 billion a year. In conventional visual ... -
