Virtuous Engineering is the Need of Hour: A Perspective for Civil Engineering Research

Urban Resilience: A Civil Engineering Perspective

The concept of resilience is used in multiple scientific contexts, being understood according to several different perspectives. Essentially, resilience identifies the capability to recover, absorb shocks, and restore equilibrium after a perturbation. Recently, resilience is triggering increasing interest in engineering contexts, referring to communities and urban networked systems, as the capa...

Identifying the components of employability of civil engineering graduates: Narrating basic capabilities from the perspective of employers

The purpose of this study was to identify the essential components of employability of civil engineering graduates, which is applied in terms of purpose and field type in terms of data collection, and according to purpose of the research, a qualitative phenomenological method has been used. The statistical population includes professional civil engineers under the title of employers in field of...

A Grid-Based Research Environment for Civil Engineering

The flow of information brings a tremendous change in the civil engineering industry as well as the politics, economy and culture of a society. The civil engineering field with the information revolution sees the combination of digital technology and construction technology, such as development of integrated construction systems, electronic databases, document management systems, and simulation...

Assessment of Improvement of Preventive Maintenance Systems Related to the Civil Projects Using Concepts of Value Engineering (RESEARCH NOTE)

The purpose of this paper is using the concepts of value engineering (VE) in evaluating the improvement caused by preventive maintenance (PM) systems in construction project. A real case is used to show how we can implement the proposed method. VE is the systematic application of recognized techniques by multi-disciplined teams that identifies the function of a product or service, establishes a...
