<br/><br/> Presents discussion papers on state of the art in artificial intelligence with regards to structural engineering. The book suggests that the factors that hinder information technology applications in structural engineering include holistic knowledge, interdependent tasks, incomplete information, product advances and changing contexts. The book discusses the various ways in which computer applications are used in the design, diagnosis and improvement of structural engineers? effectiveness. It explains issues such as representation, manipulation and use of structural engineering knowledge in each challenge and application.
