Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book delves into the transformative potential of neuromorphic computing within the field of civil engineering, specifically focusing on its application to disaster management. With the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, traditional disaster management systems face significant challenges in prediction accuracy, response time, and effective resource allocation. Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the neural processes of the human brain, offers a revolutionary approach to addressing these challenges. Through an in-depth exploration, this book outlines the theoretical foundations of neuromorphic computing, its integration into smart infrastructure, and the development of advanced predictive models for natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and urban fires. Additionally, it examines the technical, ethical, and social considerations inherent in deploying these technologies, alongside a vision for their future development. The convergence of neuromorphic computing and civil engineering heralds a new era of enhanced resilience, where more informed, rapid, and effective disaster management strategies are not just a possibility but a reality. The book contributes to the discourse on leveraging cutting-edge computing technologies to foster safer, more resilient communities in the face of natural calamities. This book delves into the transformative potential of neuromorphic computing within the field of civil engineering, specifically focusing on its application to disaster management.

Paperback. Condition: New. Engineering the Future: Multi-Objective Optimization in Earthquake Resilience and Design develops a rigorous, decision-oriented treatment of performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) by placing multi-objective optimization (MOO) at the centre of modern seismic design and risk management. Moving beyond prescriptive "one-size-fits-all" compliance, the book frames seismic design as an explicit trade-off problem in which safety, functionality, downtime, repair cost, and sustainability targets must be satisfied simultaneously under uncertainty. It consolidates foundational concepts and current practice, and then advances toward implementation pathways that connect hazard characterization, structural response assessment, damage and loss modelling, and stakeholder-informed performance objectives within a coherent PBEE-MOO workflow.This book integrates technical methods with practice-facing considerations, including regulatory frameworks, governance and policy instruments, socio-economic consequences, and community resilience. It also surveys emerging computational capabilities, including advanced simulation and data-driven tools, and demonstrates their role in accelerating design-space exploration and improving transparency in decision-making. Case-based discussions across multiple structural systems illustrate how optimization can support defensible choices for new design, retrofit prioritization, and lifecycle resilience planning in earthquake-prone regions.This book targets structural and earthquake engineers, seismic risk analysts, and engineering researchers who seek to advance beyond traditional code-based design approaches by implementing sophisticated multi-objective optimization methods for performance-based earthquake engineering in both academic research and professional practice.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In today's fast-changing world, traditional strategic planningoften fails when environments become unpredictable. This bookaddresses one of the most pressing challenges facing modernorganizations: how to think, decide, and act strategicallywhen the future refuses to cooperate.Spanning five chapters, the book begins by examining howbusiness environments have transformed and why uncertaintyhas become a defining condition for managers today. It thenexplores analytical frameworks for decision-making underuncertainty, followed by a critical review of both classicalstrategies (Porter, Ansoff, Chandler) and emerging approachessuch as adaptive, flexible, and robust strategy.A comparative analysis of major strategy models-includingScenario Planning, Real Options Theory, the McKinsey ThreeHorizons, the Cynefin Framework, and Agile Strategy-revealstheir strengths and limitations in unstable environments.The book concludes by introducing the Firoozi Model, anoriginal adaptive framework designed specifically forstrategic decision-making under uncertainty. This cyclic, seven-stage model integrates analysis, execution, monitoring, and learning into one continuous system, offering managers apractical path through volatile and unpredictable conditions.Written for graduate students, academics, researchers, andbusiness professionals, this book bridges strategic managementtheory with real-world application in unstable environments.
