Knowledge Acquisition and Engineering for Steel Bridge Fabrication
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)A knowledge-based system for resolving fabrication errors in steel highway bridges is in operation at the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). The Bridge Fabrication Error Solution Expert System (BFX) addresses ... -
Finite-Element Graphic Objects in C++
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)This technical note describes the design and application of a group of graphical finite-element object classes that were developed using the object-oriented approach and were implemented in C++. These object classes were ... -
Sequence Control for Integrated Structural Design Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)An initial step in developing a computer-integrated system for structural design is to create a formal description of the information and activities involved in design. The formal description provides a clear understanding ... -
Average and Peak Traffic Volumes: Neural Nets, Regression, Factor Approaches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Improving the quality of predictions from sample data is an important aspect of a data collection and analysis program. Regional and environmental agencies use different statistical modeling techniques for prediction. The ... -
Object-Oriented Model for Integrating Construction Product and Process Information
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Product and process models provide the necessary information framework for implementing computer systems for the architect/engineering/construction (A/E/C) industry. Although the focus of these models is slightly different, ... -
FrameView: Object-Oriented Visualization System for Frame Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Rapidly developing desktop computing capabilities, which include high resolution graphics and interactive graphical user interfaces, are leading to a new generation of engineering software. One of the challenges in engineering ... -
