Development Of An Expert System For Assessment Of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Condition

Condition assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridge is a complex subject imbued with uncertainty and vagueness. This complexity arises from numbers and relations of problems in reinforced concrete bridges. Condition assessment process requires deep knowledge of the behavior of Reinforced Concrete...
