This study presents a visualization system based on a geographic information system (GIS) for planning and monitoring the progress of construction projects that are repetitive due to their geometrical layout. A prototype system was developed and applied to an actual pipeline project to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach. The primary advantage of the system is improved visualization of geographical conditions and their impact on the progress rate. Enhanced visual representation of the schedule and work sequence can be achieved by time-lapse simulation. The system also provides a framework for effective communication of schedule, progress, and geographic information among the project participants. Future enhancements to the prototype system are addressed.

Analytical formulation of maximum length limits of integral bridges on cohesive soils Dicleli, Murat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2005-08-01) This paper presents an analytical approach for predicting the length limits of integral bridges built on cohesive soils based on the flexural strength of the abutments and the low cycle fatigue performance of the steel H-piles at the abutments under cyclic thermal loading. First, H-piles that can accommodate large inelastic deformations are determined considering their local buckling instability. Then, a damage model is used to determine the maximum cyclic deformations that such piles can sustain. Next, non...
Optimum design of high-rise steel buildings using an evolution strategy integrated parallel algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01) The present study addresses a parallel solution algorithm for optimum design of large steel space frame structures, in particular high-rise steel buildings. The algorithm implements a novel discrete evolution strategy optimization method to effectively size these systems for minimum weight according to the provisions of ASD-AISC specification and various practical aspects of design process. The multitasking environment in the algorithm rests on a master-slave model based parallelization of the optimization ...
Lifetime Performance Analysis of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges. I: Theory Akgül, Ferhat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-06-01) In this first part of a two-part paper, a general methodology for lifetime performance analysis of existing reinforced concrete bridges is presented. The framework for the methodology is established by identifying four distinct categories: limit state equations, random variables, deterministic parameters, and constant coefficients. The limit state equations are derived by strictly adhering to the load and capacity formulas and requirements set forth in AASHTO specifications. Generality is pursued by establi...
Lifetime Performance Analysis of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges. II: Application Akgül, Ferhat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-06-01) This study, being the second part of a two-part paper, presents the application of a lifetime performance analysis methodology to three reinforced concrete bridges located in an existing bridge network in Colorado. The focus of this paper is on reinforced concrete slabs and girders of these bridges. The limit state equations were previously derived in the companion paper by grouping the random variables, deterministic parameters, and constant coefficients in such a way that the formulas are applicable to re...
Reliability-based optimization of river bridges using artificial intelligence techniques Turan, K. Hakan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2011-10-01) Proper bridge design is based on joint consideration of structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical conformities. An optimization-based methodology has been developed to obtain appropriate dimensions of a river bridge to meet these aspects. Structural and geotechnical design parts use a statistically-based artificial neural network (ANN) model. Therefore, relevant data were collected from many bridge projects and analyzed to form a matrix. Artificial neural network architectures are used in the objective functi...
