Discussion: Modeling Initial Design Process Using Artificial Neural Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Vision-Based Interactive Path Planning for Robotic Bridge Paint Removal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Since the 1970s, the toxic lead content in old paints has become a significant health concern. The common approach used in removing corroded paint for bridge paint maintenance relies on manual operation of blast nozzles ... -
Using Parameter Dependency Network to Represent Design Rationale
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Building designers typically develop a set of drawings and specifications that graphically and textually depict the building. These documents contain implicit information about the rationale or reasoning leading to the ... -
Semantic Validation of Product and Process Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)This paper describes the use of equational specifications and process algebras in developing product and process models. These formal approaches enable an abstract and precise description of products, where both syntactic ... -
SEDAR: Expert Critiquing System for Flat and Low-Slope Roof Design and Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The Support Environment for Design And Review (SEDAR) is a flexible, graphical expert critiquing system for use by both designers and reviewers during the design of flat and low-slope structure roof systems. SEDAR provides ... -
SCaRC: Space-Constrained Resource-Constrained Scheduling System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Current intelligent scheduling systems do not address the effect of limited work space on the generation of schedules. This paper describes SCaRC—Space-Constrained and Resource-Constrained knowledge-based system—for ... -
Constructability Analysis: Machine Learning Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Computerized constructability analysis, using knowledge-based tools, is the key to effective construction process automation. However, the development of such tools requires a prior acquisition of constructability knowledge. ... -
Editorial: Universal Building Language
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
Consolidated Object Repository for Civil Engineering (CORCE)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Object-oriented systems are emerging within civil engineering. One of the primary advantages of the use of object-oriented analysis, design, and programming practices is the reuse potential of the developed code. To maximize ... -
Editorial: Importance of Data Exchange Standards for Process Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997) -
COCSY II: CAD/CAM Integration for On-Site Robotics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)This paper discusses the need for automatic data extraction, processing, and transfer [computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) interfacing] between the design and construction phases as a key element ... -
Self-Organizing Neural Network for Identification of Natural Modes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The application of artificial neural networks in civil engineering is gaining momentum. Most of the applications, however, use a feedforward network with a back-propagation algorithm. There is a variety of alternative ... -
