It begins by revising the mathematical and statistical background for the adequate formulation of civil engineering problems. Then it examines a series of topics required to understand infrastructure, facilities and transportation networks, and their planning, maintenance, upgrading and expansion. It covers problem definition, model formulation and decision making systems, including optimization, estimation and prediction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe applications deal with some of the challenges that civil engineers will typically encounter during their professional lives, ranging from municipal planning and infrastructure management to transportation analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe treatment of the topics is integral. Tools and examples from real life situations are combined to illustrate the use of methods and principles. Students will learn to understand a system, conceptualize a model, analyse it and make decisions or draw conclusions, just as practising engineers do. A final chapter introduces methods for expanding simple models, adding complexity and incorporating uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstructors can chose to cover some of the material from the foundation chapters on mathematics and statistics or directly concentrate on the tools and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Amador-Jimenez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1482260794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482260793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Luis Amador-Jimenez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088378638591,"sku":"9781482260793","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08249a54-5d9b-494f-8f78-334b96735c48.jpg?v=1769104506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-engineering-systems-analysis-luis-amador-jimenez-9781482260793","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
