General Education for Civil Engineers: Sustainable Development

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, 2008
The ABET criteria for engineering programs no longer has a requirement for humanities and social sciences but instead requires a general education component that complements the technical component of the curriculum. Achievement of the outcomes called for in the ABET criteria and the ability to apply the constraints listed in ABET Criterion 3 can be ...

Modeling and generation of seismic ground motion for active control in civil engineering

2015 3rd International Conference on Control, Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT), 2015
The Artificial Accelerograms have been developed for assessing the dynamic response of structures. Considering seismological properties of the site are necessary for the best simulation of accelerograms. In a simplified seismic analysis, we model only the strong phase of the seismic signal. The latter is then assumed to be stationary during this period.

Application of microwave aquametry in civil engineering and in power generation

Measurement Science and Technology, 2007
The first part of this paper is devoted to microwave moisture-measurement (aquametry), starting with an overview of the work performed by researchers involved in using microwave (or high-frequency electromagnetic) signals for moisture measurement, as well as in non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) of mainly concrete.

Civil Engineering Features of Linden Generating Station

Journal of the Power Division, 1958
The object of this paper is to set forth the problems which the civil engineer meets and is called upon to solve to make possible the construction of an electric generating station involving the rather unusual conditions which occurred in the construction of the Linden Generating Station of Public Service Electric and Gas Company of New Jersey.

Next Generation Artificial Neural Networks for Civil Engineering

Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2006
If we measure complexity in these simple terms as the number of primary processing units that can be employed usefully in an application then we can compare today’s general purpose digital computer to the brain of a rabbit comprising in the order of 10 9 neurons, while artificial neural networks have progressed no further than the brain of the humble ...

Teaching Sustainability Topics to Attract and Inspire the Next Generation of Civil Engineers

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, 2015
AbstractRecent natural events such as earthquakes in Japan and storm surge effects in New York have led to the growing interest in sustainable civil engineering. While sustainability topics, such as soil liquefaction and green building design, are typically included within civil engineering programs at the baccalaureate or graduate levels, topics in ...

Deterministically generated negative selection algorithm for damage detection in civil engineering systems

Engineering Structures, 2019
Abstract In the framework of Structural Health Monitoring, vibration-based methods are commonly used to assess the condition of a structural system, being the dynamic properties sensitive to damage-induced changes. Within this context, negative selection, a bio-inspired classification algorithm, can be exploited to distinguish anomalous from normal ...

General Arrangement and Contents of Civil Engineering Bills of Quantities

1965
The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement Third Edition (CESMM3)1 defines a ‘Bill of Quantities’ as a list of items giving brief identifying descriptions and estimated quantities of the work comprised in a Contract (1.7). (Perhaps the word ‘concise’ would be better substituted for ‘brief’.) All references in brackets refer to paragraphs in ...
