About this title

Synopsis

Based on lectures presented at the First International Conference on Soft Computing Technology in Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering held in Portugal, this volume presents the most recent advances in the field. With contributions by experts, this account examines topics such as soft-computing techniques in structural optimization, genetic algorithms, neural networks, uncertainty, risk analysis, and reliability and applies them to earthquake and seismic engineering, steel and composite structures, and concrete-mix design. Detailed and informative, this reference will interest both researchers and academics concerned with soft-computing techniques in all aspects of civil and structural engineering.
