Structural Optimization by Genetic Algorithms with Tournament Selection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)A new approach to optimization design concerning the configurations of structures using genetic algorithm (GA) with a tournament selection strategy has been proposed. The tournament selection strategy is used as a replacement ... -
Hysteresis Sensitive Neural Network for Modeling Rating Curves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Hysteresis is sometimes exhibited in rating curves representing the stage-discharge relationships at stream gauging locations. In practice, this creates a problem for hydrologists and makes the deduction of discharges, ... -

Interconnected Component Applications for AEC Software Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The writers expect a surge in interest in computerized management information and decision support systems in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. This trend is nourished by the need for more effective ... -
Using Genetic Algorithms to Solve Construction Time-Cost Trade-Off Problems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Time-cost trade-off analysis is one of the most important aspects of construction project planning and control. There are trade-offs between time and cost to complete the activities of a project; in general, the less ... -
3D Modeling for Computer-Integrated Construction of RC Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) geometric modeling scheme, for reinforced concrete (RC) structures, that takes into account the reinforcement detail. The node structure of rectangle adjacency graph (RAG) has ... -
Linguistic Approach to 2D Geometric Modeling of Hierarchical Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Geometric modeling is the cornerstone of computer-aided design (CAD). Currently, geometric modeling is done either interactively, using the geometric constructs (i.e., line, circle, etc.) supported by the CAD system, or ... -

Object-Oriented Software for Distributed Rainfall-Runoff Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)A software environment for real-time flood forecasting using distributed models is presented. The system, Real-time Interactive Basin Simulator (RIBS), provides an object-oriented framework for implementation of a class ... -
Automated Approach to Negotiation of BOT Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Build, operate and transfer (BOT) projects have become of increasing interest over the last few years. The BOT model entails a concession company providing the finance, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of ... -
Prediction of Pile Capacity Using Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)A back-propagation neural network model for estimating static pile capacity from dynamic stress-wave data is proposed. The training and testing of the network were based on a database of 37 precast reinforced concrete (RC) ... -
