Overview

This monograph presents aspects of research into the application of artificial intelligence in structural design. The authors, leaders in the development of Case Based Design techniques applied to structural engineering provide a detailed insight into their state-of-the-art research on the implementation of novel reasoning techniques in structural design. Case Based Design enables computers not only to store, retrieve and present past designs but also to synthesize design solutions. The primary aim of this book is to address the issues of representation, indexing, retrieval and adaptation in Case Based Design. The issues are illustrated by examples in conceptual structural design.
