CURRENT AND FUTURE VALUES OF DESIGN IN CIVIL ENGINEERING FIELD

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

architectural education in civil engineering challenges and future development

development of the structural form is directly influenced by the architectural concern for aesthetic appeal. the architectural challenge is to create building forms that satisfy the functional requirements, yet are aesthetically and economically successful. the structural challenge is to create structural forms that accommodate the functional requirements while supporting the imposed loads as e...

organizational learning and performance improvement in civil engineering design firms

learning rapidly and competently has become a pre-eminent strategy for improving organizational performance in the new knowledge era. improving dynamic learning capability is an exclusive strategy for corporate success in construction industry. thus engineering design firms should implement ol to accomplish a state of readiness for change and develop a competence to respond and identify future ...
