Artificial Neural Networks for Civil Engineers: Advanced Features and Applications

by Ian Flood (Editor), Nabil Kartam (Editor)

This is the second of a two-monograph set on the applications of artificial neural networks (ANN) to civil engineering, complementing Artificial Neural Networks for Civil Fundamentals and Applications (1997). Further and literally illustrating the eclectic ways neural networks can enhance civil engineering problem-solving, 11 chapters explore such areas evaluating construction technologies; using ANN architecture to overcome glitches with conventional traffic control systems; predicting carbonation depth in concrete structures; optimizing optimization models; and estimating the energy efficiency of homes.
