Applications of Computational Intelligence in Concrete Technology

by Sakshi Gupta (Editor), Parveen Sihag (Editor), Mohindra Singh Thakur (Editor), Utku Kose (Editor)

Overview

Computational intelligence (CI) in concrete technology has not yet been fully explored worldwide because of some limitations in data sets. This book discusses the selection and separation of data sets, performance evaluation parameters for different types of concrete and related materials, and sensitivity analysis related to various CI techniques. Fundamental concepts and essential analysis for CI techniques such as artificial neural network, fuzzy system, support vector machine, and how they work together for resolving real-life problems, are explained.

Features:

• It is the first book on this fast-growing research field.
• It discusses the use of various computation intelligence techniques in concrete technology applications.
• It explains the effectiveness of the methods used and the wide range of available techniques.
• It integrates a wide range of disciplines from civil engineering, construction technology, and concrete technology to computation intelligence, soft computing, data science, computer science, and so on.
• It brings together the experiences of contributors from around the world who are doing research in this field and explores the different aspects of their research.

The technical content included is beneficial for researchers as well as practicing engineers in the concrete and construction industry.
