Application of Geology to Highway Engineering

In Indiana we have surely developed a “professional con­ sciousness. We have done quite a bit toward enforcement of the registration act. We have an adopted code of ethics. We now have four local chapters in addition to our state chapter and state society. In the last session of the state legislature, we sponsored three bills. With the able guidance of Engineer Clyde Walb and others, two of the...

Schedule Multiple Highway Construction Projects

The scheduling of numerous construction projects considering several factors is an important challenge faced by construction companies, particularly road builders. Road builders need to make decision to identify the best possible schedule to complete multiple constructions while considering multiple factor such as maximizing profit, reducing risk, and resource constraints among many other factors.

Effect of Value Based Software Engineering on Development Projects

Previous models of software development projects have failed to represent people productivity accurately. In this paper, we present a model characterized by realistic productivity curves and flexibility in choosing resource factors in a software engineering project. A two-mode mathematical model similar to PutnamNorden model js presented. The proposed model enhances the capability of engineerin...

Regional Economic Impacts of Highway Projects

Interregional transport infrastructure represents some of the largest public investment programs in developing countries. The objectives are typically to increase economic efficiency—overall economic growth—as well as spatial equity—helping lagging areas of a country to catch up with leading ones. But recent theoretical and empirical work on the ‘new economic geography’ suggests that, at least ...
