Design and Operation of Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems / Edition 1

by Charles ReVelle, Arthur E. McGarity

Overview

The tools of operations research (OR)—optimization, simulation, game theory, and others—are increasingly applied to the entire range of problems encountered by civil and environmental engineers. In this groundbreaking text/reference, the world's leading experts describe sophisticated OR opplications across the spectrum of environmental and civil engineering specialties, addressing problems encountered in both operation and design.
