SOME PROBLEMS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND THE THEORY OF (GENERALIZED) GEOMETRIC PROGRAMMING

Engineering Optimization, 1976
Abstract 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.

Computational generation of free-form shells in architectural design and civil engineering

Automation in Construction, 2010
Abstract This study develops a computational model of free-form shell generation in the design of roof structures that rely on the optimized behavior of the membrane theory of thin shells. For architects and engineers, the model offers a low cost, fast, and relatively easy design solution.

The development of generic competences in Malaysian civil engineering programmes: a case study

2013
This study focuses on generic competences that have been considered to be lacking in graduates from Malaysian polytechnics specifically their problem solving, critical thinking, communication skills, and team building. The argument concerning generic competences has focused upon teachers' pedagogical approaches and their relation to students' learning.
