Architecture, Engineering,
This report shows the survey results from a study conducted in late 2004 by Aberdeen Group.

The following are key findings from Aberdeen Group’s survey of users of product portfolio management (PPM) solutions in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries:

  • Buyers of next-generation PPM solutions are very interested in enter-prisewide benefits. However, if they let project managers roll out the new solutions one project at a time, they are susceptible to underachiev-ing their potential value.
  • One of the contributing factors to the construction industry’s low pro-ductivity rate is the stand-alone nature of technologies used in this in-dustry.
  • Project managers look to optimize the results of their project(s) and not necessarily the enterprise that employs them.
  • Huge benefits (e.g., expediting payments from customers, maximum utilization of equipment) are possible when AEC firms implement PPM solutions with an eye toward enterprise optimization.

RetainWall, retaining
RetainWall Version 1.20.03 dated April 2007 RetainWall is a software mainly designed for the purpose of designing a concrete or masonry retaining wall. The wall may retain soil or other granular material. It analises the stability of the wall based on the loads and the resulting base pressure, sliding and excentricities. Loads applied on the wall may consist of self weight, soil pressure, water pressure, live and seismic loads. If the wall is a reinforced concrete structure, the software also supports the reinforcement design. In addition, a soil pressure calculator is also provided. RetainWall is designed to be an easy application, on-screen trial-and-error method and quick solution finding of the design. A familiar designer can design the wall within minutes. Complete outputs can be viewed on screen or printed. Operation of the software begins from the initial dimensioning of the wall, earth surface and water levels by clicking on the given dimensions. Next is inputing material properties of the wall, soil, water and rinforcement bars. External loads given consist of live load on the ground surface, seismic load as a horizontal seismic coefficient and any concentrated loads if required. Results of the wall stability can be obtain immediately. If they are not satisfied then another trial can be made very quickly. Final results can be printed. Using the internal forces of the wall, reinforced concrete design can also be done very quickly. It requires only bar diameters and spacings of the reinforcements. RetainWall supports three unit system, i.e. metric, SI and British. Requirement: Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP JavaSoft

Data and Document Management
There are a number of issues facing construction companies and their owners today in regards to handling information within their organization, particularly in hard-copy form. Studies show that
• 40% of an office workers time is spent handling paper
• At any given time 3-5% of documents are lost or misfiled.
• The Gartner Group says it costs $ 7.50 every time a piece of paper is touched.
• An average of seven copies are made of each origina and different notes are made on each copy with no master copy.
• “It is estimated that up to 30% of the cost of construction are costs due to inefficiencies, mistakes, delays and poor communications.” (The Economist, 1/15/00)

Integrated Collaborative
Author: Dilan Roshani
School of Civil Engineering
The University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK

Abstract: The issue of communication between the disciplines involved in a construction project has been the subject of research activities for many years. The construction industry has a long tradition of collaborative working between the members of the construction team. At the design stage, this has traditionally been based on physical meetings. This paper considers the shortcomings of the current state of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) design process and gives an overview of the design, implementation and evaluation of a COllaborative Design Environment (CODE) system. The system's facilities allowed for active human-centred collaboration, and confirmed that the Internet is a feasible and accessible technology for hosting multi-disciplinary and distributed collaborative design work.

Introduction

In today's global market, the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) operations are spreading around the world. Not only marketing and production, but also design and development are influenced by globalisation. New challenges are emerging constantly, which require global solutions for geographically distributed building design and construction. Due to the global nature of the current building construction and the evolving impact of IT on the design process, the AEC design project activities are continuously changing. These activities require support with communication, interaction, integration, design facilities, and shared up-to-date design specification. IT facilities such as the Internet can potentially provide integrated collaboration environments satisfying these requirements.

The AEC design processes considered as highly fragmented so the responsibility for design and construction is often broken into many small parts handled by different actors. At the same time, the quantity of data to be dealt with is constantly growing. Building design often requires collaborative working between members of geographically distributions design teams. Therefore, the need for effective information and communication technologies becomes necessary.

Next is inputing material properties of the wall, soil, water and rinforcement bars. External loads given consist of live load on the ground surface, seismic load as a horizontal seismic coefficient and any concentrated loads if required. Results of the wall stability can be obtain immediately. If they are not satisfied then another trial can be made very quickly. Final results can be printed. Using the internal forces of the wall, reinforced concrete design can also be done very quickly. It requires only bar diameters and spacings of the reinforcements. RetainWall supports three unit system, i.e. metric, SI and British. Requirement: Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP JavaSoft

Mesh Transitioning and
Featured Paper by Ashraf Habibullah, M. Iqbal Suharwardy

In the application of the Finite Element Analysis Method, the most time consuming task is usually the creation and modification of the finite element mesh of the system. Not to mention the fact that creation of mesh transitions from coarse to fine meshes can be very tedious. Also matching up node points to create compatible meshes at intersecting planes, such as walls and floors can be very labor intensive. And even if the mesh generation is automated the mesh transitioning usually produces irregular or skewed elements that may perform poorly. This may have adverse effects on the design, especially in regions of stress concentration, such as in the vicinity of intersecting planes.

What does BIM mean for
A few weeks ago, I was on the phone with a civil engineer who needed help with a question he was asked by an architecture firm: "Are you BIM ready?" The civil engineer had a good understanding of the benefits of building information modeling (BIM) for building design, and had ideas about how those benefits might extend to civil engineers. But he wasn't sure how to answer the question. Did BIM even apply to civil engineers? And if it did, would he have to use new software to be "BIM ready?" What if he wasn't working on projects that involved buildings? Could he still do BIM? CADsoft Consulting

eReview
eReview allows you to view and markup many different types of documents and drawings without having or using the application that created them. Markups and annotations are non-destructive; i.e., the original document is never changed; rather, the markups, annotations and comments are saved in a corollary file, providing a history of suggested changes. This process prevents uncontrolled changes to a document/drawing while protecting the integrity of the document/drawing under review. Collaboration simplifies and enhances the review process. What used to be sequential, time-consuming and difficult to accomplish is now intuitive, natural, and in real-time within a fully collaborative Web environment. Real-time collaboration saves time, money, travel, and allows better and quicker decisions. Real-time collaboration and ad-hoc workflow tools reduce the reaction time of the corporations much faster and enable them to respond to the constantly changing needs quickly and effectively. It also helps to collaborate on unstructured data and documents, capture the tacit knowledge and helps create a corporate memory of meetings that are searchable and repayable. Web4

Featured Paper by Laurel M. Sheppard

Although computer-aided design is widely used in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry, the exchange of information is still largely a manual process, where 2D paper drawings are reviewed to identify conflicts. Obviously, this process is time consuming and inefficient —not only do many conflicts go undetected but it’s nearly impossible to quickly determine how design changes will affect the project’s cost and schedule. Thus, an average project will lose 8 to 15 percent of labor costs due to mistakes that cause change orders, delays, and rework.

Most CAE software products announce: “Our software helps you to make an optimal design of your structures”. It this achieved in reality? In common sense one talks about optimisation of structures, but in fact one optimises only a few chosen structural parts.

Statements such as “we will never abandon the national codes in my country”, “Eurocodes make constructions much more expensive”, “Eurocodes are not valid here”,…, are often heard. In this study, SCIA takes a closer look at the issue. We report on a survey among 456 engineers, who accessed the SCIA website between December 2006 and February 2007, giving an in-depth view on the current perception on Eurocodes. Along with correcting some of the engineers’ misunderstanding, we also position the Eurocodes within an international context.

Construction CEOs - how
The criteria for which owners are selecting construction companies to build buildings are changing rapidly. Cost is still the number one factor in why companies win new business. The second is the owners' belief that the construction company can effectively apply IT technology to projects in order to reduce cost and stay on schedule. Within three years, every major construction company will have all major processes integrated by IT. The interesting thing is that many CEOs of these companies don't even know it yet.

There are certainly situations where being able to handle all this spatial information in a single application would be very convenient.

Approximately 90 percent of enterprises employ remote workers — those who work outside the traditional office some or all of the time, according to Gartner, Inc., an information technology research and advisory company. In the construction industry, for example, business development executives regularly travel in pursuit of new clients, while project managers move from one job site to the next. And today’s mobile construction workforce relies on remote access to e-mail, fileservers and business-critical data in order to grow their firm’s business and share project management information. However, the use of mobile devices poses security risks that cannot be underestimated. Computer Guidance Corporation

A disastrous experience with one estimating package was almost enough to make Walled Lake, Michigan’s C.A. Hull swear off the idea of computerized estimating altogether. As longtime estimator Terry Smid recalls, making the switch from an in-house spreadsheet to HCSS’s Windows version at first seemed like a logical step in taking the company’s estimating to the next level. After using the system for only a short time, however, the opposite proved true. BID2WIN Software, Inc.

TITAN busts theft ring
At 10:00 PM under the protection of night, three thieves crept into a quiet jobsite off US Highway 550. When their target, a John Deere 310SG, didn’t start they suspected a master disconnect switch was the cause. They immediately left the jobsite for cables to wire around the disconnect switch. Upon their return they wired across the battery, got the backhoe running and began driving it down the street with their white GMC truck close behind. Before they even got a mile from the site, several police cruisers performed a felony stop on the backhoe/truck tandem and caught the vandals red handed. By the time owner Bill Joiner arrived on the scene, the three thieves were handcuffed and lying on the ground. DPL America

The survey addresses the following key issues: 1. To what extent have enterprises established operational, financial, and “green objectives” for their workplace assets and operations 2. To what degree are enterprises adopting more integrated, process-based disciplines to meet these objectives 3. What are the key performance indicators underlying their workplace objectives The workplace has experienced dramatic changes in the last ten years. Worker mobility enabled by network and wireless technology has revolutionized work styles and workplace culture; that require new system support tools and services. And the “green revolution” centers on workplace sustainability, particularly relating to energy efficiency, and long-term sustainability of enterprise buildings and workplace environments. These trends coupled with a continued drive toward workplace cost containment; worker productivity, and asset efficiency have now risen to the senior executive agenda; demanding new levels of sophistication, precision, and excellence in the management of workplace assets, services and processes.

BE&K uses AVEVA Laser
BE&K recently conducted an evaluation of AVEVA's Laser Model Interface to see how it could impact our working procedures. Before using Laser Model Interface, it took us four steps to go from capturing as-built conditions with 3D laser scanning, to being able to use and modify that information inside AVEVA PDMS: a scanner vendor application, a CAD application, and PDMS, with translators back and forth between each one. We implemented Laser Model Interface on a trial project and found that we could reduce this process to a single step. We expect this streamlined process to save more than three hours per pipe modelled and to significantly reduce the risk of error.' Aveva Group Plc

Prominent rental house
Mark* has been a rental house owner for years and understands the risks of renting equipment. Normally he gets his rental payments on time, but there are always those instances when the customer is late and nowhere to be found. Like so many rental house owners, Mark used to lament the old way of collecting payment: “You call and call but get nowhere and end up leaving messages. You just feel powerless knowing your machines are out there running and making money that you are being strung along on”. Once Mark equipped his fleet with the powerful TITAN Equipment Monitoring System, that all changed quickly. DPL America

Using Flash for .NET
ComponentOne Flash for .NET (a.k.a. C1Flash) provides an object model for generating static images, slide shows, and animated movies in the popular Macromedia Flash file format (SWF). This article demonstrates how to implement a derived class, C1FlashGallery, that reads site navigation data from an XML file and converts it into a Flash movie patterned after the Spotlight sidebar on ESPN.com.

ComponentOne Controls
ClickOnce is a new feature in Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 that allows you to deploy WinForms applications to the web, ftp, or network servers directly from Visual Studio. Users can simply click a link to install and run the application on their computers. This makes application deployment extremely easy. ComponentOne LLC

Advanced Column Grouping
Since its initial release, the C1TrueDBGrid control has supported a GroupBy DataView that allows both end users and developers to configure grid columns in an expandable outline that operates like a TreeView control. Recent additions to the object model and visual designer have extended this capability to provide support for grouping intervals based on the first letter of the underlying value, portions of a date value (day, month, year), Microsoft Outlook-style date ranges, and custom criteria. ComponentOne LLC
21347
Using ComponentOne Controls
From time to time, it may be necessary to run .NET controls on computer systems that do not allow all operations by all applications using .NET. Systems that limit resource access typically do so through the use of the Microsoft .NET Configuration Tool, mscorcfg.msc, a snap-in application that is installed with the .NET Framework. Note that each version of the Framework installs its own tool. ComponentOne LLC

Product Overview: ComponentOne
ComponentOne DataObjects for .NET (C1DataObjects) is based on Microsoft ADO.NET technology and enhances it in many significant ways to streamline database application development. C1DataObjects follows the standard business object paradigm, enabling developers to write business logic components called data libraries, which can be reused in multiple projects. This provides a clear separation of the business logic from the presentation layer, or GUI. ComponentOne LLC

The coordination of activities and resources in order to establish an effective work flow is central to the management of construction projects. The Critical Path Method (CPM) constitutes the predominant technique for planning and scheduling of construction projects, since it was introduced in the late 1950s. Together with Gantt charts, the universal graphical representation of schedules, which was introduced by Gantt and Taylor in the early 1900, CPM provides the common corner stone in the vast number of scheduling software tools that have been developed (Kenley 2004).

The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to the modeling of surface runoff have long been debated by the water industry and academics alike. The detailed hydraulics of surface runoff is considerably complex and varies both temporally and spatially. Due to the multifarious relationships associated with runoff processes, the mathematical functions required to compute and represent these are also considerably complex and so empirical equations and approaches have historically been developed to describe them for various circumstances.

As well, we have been exporting the 3D info of our timber frames to a Timber Frame manufacturer's 3D Milling Machine Software called 'CaddWorks'. They import the data in 3D and then translate it into a platform they can use to drive the milling machine Directly. I have included a few of the images from various projects we have produced in the past year for your review.

RetainWall 2.20
RetainWall is a software mainly designed for the purpose of designing a concrete or masonry retaining wall. The wall may retain soil or other granular material. It analyses the stability of the wall based on the loads and the resulting base pressure, sliding, overturning, eccentricities and restraints. Loads applied on the wall may consist of self weight, soil pressure, water pressure, live and seismic loads. Sliding restraints may consist of passive earth pressure, other structures or a shear key. If the wall is a reinforced concrete structure, the software also supports the reinforcement design. In addition, a soil pressure calculator is also provided. RetainWall is designed to be an easy application, on-screen trial-and-error method and quick solution finding of the design. A familiar designer can design the wall within minutes. Complete outputs can be viewed on screen or printed. Operation of the software begins from the initial dimensioning of the wall, earth surface and water levels by clicking on the given dimensions. Next is inputting material properties of the wall, soil, water and reinforcement bars. External loads given consist of live load on the ground surface, seismic load as a horizontal seismic coefficient and any concentrated loads if required. Results of the wall stability can be obtained immediately. If they are not satisfied then another trial can be made very quickly. There are also options to use or not to use water, seismic or a shear key. You have the possibility to print your final results. Using the internal forces of the wall, reinforced concrete design can also be done very quickly. It requires only bar diameters and spacings of the reinforcements. RetainWall supports metric, SI and British unit systems. JavaSoft

Six Technology Tactics
As the world continues to analyze energy availability and the long-term effects of climate change, businesses too are turning their attention to an area of opportunity—reduction of carbon emissions, energy conservation and supply chain sustainability. Despite the fact that government incentives in this area are still in their infancy, many businesses are finding that these initiatives go beyond simple good-citizenship to real business opportunities and bottom line savings that can contribute financial value to the organization while meeting demanding customer requirements. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new precept for business. Conceptually, CSR holds organizations to a higher moral and ethical standard considering the overall interests of society in the operations of its day-to-day business. Under this utilitarian view, businesses would need to take responsibility for the impact of their activities on all parties that they would affect—customers, shareholders, surrounding communities, and the environment—in all aspects of their operations. Ultimately, companies will look to IT and software solutions to help them find opportunities to be better stewards of the environment and extend the tangible benefits of corporate social responsibility from the business through the extended supply chain.

It seemed simple: develop a modern house within the existing frame of an 18th-century cottage and design an addition to provide more living space. The initial intent was to renovate the existing structure and design an extension that reflected the cottage’s traditional lines. But, the design evolved organically from there, and the project proved to be more involved than the architects first thought, according to Brian Messana, principal, Messana O’Rorke Architects.

LeanWall 1.10.40
LeanWall is a software mainly designed for the purpose of designing a concrete or masonry leaning wall. The wall may lean on rock or soil and may retain soil or other granular material. It analyses the stability of the wall based on the loads and the resulting base pressure, sliding, anchor stresses and excentricities. Loads applied on the wall may consist of self weight, soil pressure, water pressure, live and seismic loads. If the wall is a reinforced concrete structure, the software also supports the reinforcement design. In addition, a soil pressure calculator is also provided. LeanWall is designed to be an easy application, on-screen trial-and-error method and quick solution finding of the design. A familiar designer can design the wall within minutes. Complete outputs can be viewed on screen or printed. Operation of the software begins from the initial dimensioning of the wall, earth surface and water levels by clicking on the given dimensions. Next is inputing material properties of the wall, soil, water and reinforcement bars. External loads given consist of live load on the ground surface, seismic load as a horizontal seismic coefficient and any concentrated loads if required. Results of the wall stability can be obtained immediately. To meet a stable wall, rock or ground anchors may be provided. If they are not satisfied then another trial can be made very quickly. Final results can be printed. Using the internal forces of the wall, reinforced concrete design can also be done very quickly. It requires only bar diameters and spacings of the reinforcements. LeanWall supports metric, SI and British unit systems. JavaSoft

In August 2000, a man was murdered during an attempted robbery at his home on the west side of Charlotte, North Carolina. Witnesses described the clothing of the suspected robbers, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department later arrested several suspects. However, questions continued about who actually killed the victim. While the witnesses identified the shooter by his clothing, the suspects disputed who was wearing which clothing. Prosecutors needed to identify the triggerman to correctly charge the perpetrators. Intergraph Corporation

Q–Lighting attempted selling into “big box” stores like Wal-Mart and Home Depot, but quickly realized their capacity would not meet the demand of these giants and they would become too dependent on single contracts. Management decided to work with smaller specialty distribution outlets, like Ace Hardware and Eddie Bauer. To meet the needs of these niche channels, the company needed to improve design turnaround time to keep up with customization requests. The challenge was to shrink time-to-assembly and at the same time eliminate massive part modeling costs. Most of the parts Q–Lighting uses are plastic and require molds for manufacturing. The process of transforming a 2D drawing into a mold drained valuable resources. Avatech Solutions

The Advent of Visual
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an intriguing vision. But its success has been limited to expanding the role of PDM systems to help automate cross-engineering disciplines such as CAE and simulation. Little has been accomplished to augment workflows and processes which extend beyond the four walls of engineering. Successful PLM implementation is hampered by poor flow of relevant and timely information out of engineering to other stakeholders in the global value chain. Efficiency and productivity require availability of product data at the right time in the right place and format. Without data, people can’t collaborate, PLM remains only a vision, and business processes grind to a halt. Right Hemisphere

Problem with piping "Liftoff"
Contemporary commercial piping analysis programs deal differently with the problem of apparent lift-off of an operating pipe at a rod hanger or a one-way vertical support, such as a pipe on a support rack. A few programs provide error messages; others show a vertical movement with a possible increase in sustained (weight) stress (see NOTE below for CAEPIPE). A proper understanding of the standard piping design practice is the key to correct interpretation of these results from different programs. Such standard piping design practice was generally understood when the sustained and flexibility analysis rules were introduced in the 1955 Edition of the ASME B31 Code for Pressure Pipin SST Systems, Inc.

AECbytes "Building the Future"
In keeping with the “looking ahead” theme of the AECbytes Building the Future series, this month’s issue takes a look at the application of a sophisticated computational technology to a specific aspect of AEC: the design and development of a building site. The technology is called evolutionary computing, and it is a subset of the field of artificial intelligence that involves combinatorial optimization problems, where optimization is the process of finding the most effective solutions to a problem given a set of constraints. Optimization techniques are being used in many industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals, automotive engineering, national security, and so on to develop more intelligent and sophisticated problem-solving applications related to those fields.
