Mr. Roach did his undergraduate civil engineering work under Prof. Hugh Miller, formerly of Clarkson College, now lecturer in civil engineering at Rice. When Mr. Roach graduated he went with the Public Service Commission of New York, and did surveying in connection with the new suburbs of New York City. On March 1, 1916, he accepted a position with the Turner Construction Company, engineers and...

Reliable characterization of subsurface soil in urban areas is a major concern in geotechnical and geological engineering projects. In this regard, this research deals with development of a 3D geological engineering model on Mashhad City soil using Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) approach. The intense variability of soil in the study area has sometimes caused serious problems in civil engi...

Human computer interaction in security and time-critical systems is an interdisciplinary challenge at the seams of human factors, engineering, information systems and computer science. Application fields include control systems, critical infrastructures, vehicle and traffic management, production technology, business continuity management, medical technology, crisis management and civil protect...

This paper uses nonparametric methods and some new results on hypothesis testing with nonparametric efficiency estimators and applies these to analyze the effect of locally-available high performance computing (HPC) resources on universities’ efficiency in producing research and other outputs. We find that locally-available HPC resources enhance the technical efficiency of research output in Ch...

Learning how to compute and simulate civil engineering processes is the necessary task for engineers, instructors, learners. In general, with continuous improvement of computer technology, computing software promotes reform industry. can handle complex models ease accuracy. Therefore compared traditional manual calculations, computerized avoid errors in data acquisition calculation. Therefore, ...

In this paper, the authors review and evaluate some of the pressing specific problems that we face as a society and that have been traditionally entrusted to civil and environmental engineers. There is ample evidence that the state-of-the practice is not sufficiently qualified to address daunting problems related to the safe and efficient performance of infrastructures with the current approach...

The ASCE’s body of knowledge for the 21st century and vision for civil engineering in 2025 outline skills and capabilities necessary for civil engineers to create a sustainable world. An undergraduate course at Georgia Institute of Technology introduces undergraduates to a systems-sustainability approach to civil and environmental engineering, applying systems methods to analyze decisions over ...
