Abstract:

The Computer-Aided Engineering and Architectural Design System CAEADS is being developed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by the Construction Engineering Research Laboratory CERL in Champaign, Illinois. CAEADS will be an integrated system of computer aids to the design process for military construction, supporting the design and review activities of Corps District Offices and the design activities of private ArchitectEngineer firms under contract to the Corps. This report presents a concise review of the work accomplished to further develop the CAEADS concept and to prepare system documents as required by AR 18-1. This concise review covers the purpose, guidelines, and scope of the study, and the scope and background of CAEADS. It reviews the MC process as it currently exists, discusses CAEADS requirements, system concepts, the CAEADS Economic Analysis, the proposed Project Master Plan, and a Preliminary HardwareSoftware Analysis. It concludes with the results, conclusions, and recommendations developed in this study.
