Usage of Gis Technology in Civil Engineering

GIS technology is more and more used even in the technical practice of a construction industry. In the preparatory phase of the construction, the problems of a spatial positioning (location) of the construction have to be solved jointly with the checking of the feasibility and purposefulness, the traffic projects are worked out, and the alternative, more detailed solutions of technical problems...

ADA Title III and the Internet: technology and civil rights.

Over the past two years, the issue of Internet accessibility has received national attention. In 1999, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) filed a class action lawsuit against America Online, Inc. (AOL).1 NFB alleged that AOL’s Internet browser and services were inaccessible to the blind and did not comply with the accessibility requirements of Title III of the Americans with Disabilitie...

Novel sensor technology for NDE of concrete

This paper describes the application of a novel actuator/sensor technology for the generation and detection of stress waves in structural materials like concrete. The technology is aimed at developing an innovative NDE scheme based on the generation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs). HNSWs are stress waves that can form and travel in highly nonlinear systems (i.e. granular, layered, fi...
