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 ...
