Civil Engineering Features of Linden Generating Station
Journal of the Power Division, 1958The 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, 2006If 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, 2015AbstractRecent 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 ...

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
1965The 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 ...

Analysis of Base Civil Engineering General Purpose Vehicle Table of Allowances [PDF]
, 1984 Abstract : Presents an improved Basis of Issue (BOI) for determining the Base Civil Engineering General Purpose Vehicle Allowances based upon analysis of workload, production output, and manpower strength of 25 AF BCE units, utilizing coefficient of correlation and linear regression. The vehicle fleet sizes of 20 civilian businesses were compared.

SOME PROBLEMS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND THE THEORY OF (GENERALIZED) GEOMETRIC PROGRAMMING
Engineering Optimization, 1976Abstract We consider problems of analysis in three major areas of Civil Engineering, namely: i) Hydraulic Network analysis, specifically, the determination of flow rates and junction pressures in hydraulic networks, when inlet and outlet flow rates or inlet and outlet pressure heads are known.

Leadership and Management in Engineering, 2011
Globalization has led to new forms of teams that are diverse in age, education, culture, ethnicity, language, and often geographic location. Like teams in business, consulting, and military operations, which have become multicultural, cross-generational, and multidisciplinary to address the new and emerging challenges of operating in a globalized world,

Educating next-generation civil engineers about smart structures technology
SPIE Proceedings, 2005The implementation of smart structures technology in the design, construction and maintenance of civil and mechanical systems have been shown beneficial to the performance enhancement, operating efficiency and reliability of structural systems. However, most of today's engineering students are unaware of the remarkable properties of smart sensors and ...
