Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling Applications For Small Construction Companies
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
This thesis concerns developing recommendations to help small construction company's transition from traditional two dimensional plans to a Building Information Modeling (BIM) management process. Due to the cost of ...
On The Effects Of The Circular Bolt Pattern On The Behavior Of The Extended End-plate Connection
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
This study is pioneer in introducing the circular bolt pattern configuration in extended end-plate steel connections. Discovering the static and cyclic behavior of such connections is at the forefront of this research ...
Evaluation Of Training Needs For Building Information Modeling (BIM)
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The basic premise of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is to use and share the digital model of a project as a source of information for all participants, in order to simulate and analyze potential problems during the ...
Determination Of Geotechnical Properties Of Clayey Soil From Resistivity Imaging (RI)
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
The use of resistivity imaging (RI) in the subsurface investigation has increased in recent years. RI is a non destructive method and provides a continuous image of the subsurface. Based on the electrical conduction ...
