Soft Computing Tools in Civil Engineering

 

@

 

First Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence

IICAI-03

 

December 18-20, 2003

Hyderabad, India

 

 

The world of soft computing provides powerful tools for civil engineers to carry out various numerical simulation studies. Some of them are knowledge driven methods, such as Fuzzy Logic and Probabilistic Reasoning approaches. Others are data driven methods, like Artificial Neural Networks and Evolutionary Computing approaches. These methods independently, and in hybrid forms, have been successfully applied in the following various fields of civil engineering.

 

·         Structural Engineering - Structural analysis, design, diagnostics and control problems, Structural health monitoring, Structural material behavior modeling etc.

·         Water resources engineering -  Flood forecasting, Flood routing model, Hydrology etc.

·         Environmental engineering - Air quality prediction,  Water quality prediction model etc.

·         Geo-technical engineering- Liquefaction potential assessment, piles design, etc.

·         Transportation engineering - Bridge management systems, Pavement management systems,  Pavement behavior models etc.

·         Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems, Remote Sensing etc.

·         Construction Automation- Automated inspection, Risk analysis and decision making, Supply chain management, Construction process reengineering, Procurement management, Environment management, and Safety management etc.
