Risk assessment for civil engineering facilities: critical overview and discussion

The present paper should be seen as a basis for discussion of important aspects of risk analysis and assessment, as well as attempting to describe risk assessment in accordance with the present state of the art. Risk assessment is thus presented in an overview form from the viewpoint of being a means for decision-making and thus within the formal framework of decision theory. First the motivati...

Framing Public Discussion of Gay Civil Unions

Although the framing of public opinion has often been conceptualized as a collective and social process, experimental studies of framing have typically examined only individual, psychological responses to alternative message frames. In this research we employ for the first time group conversations as the unit of analysis (following Gamson 1992) in an experimental study of framing effects. Two h...

Genetic Programming within Civil Engineering

The application of Genetic programming to civil engineering design problems is relatively new. This paper both describes and demonstrates how by using a suitable form of representation based on graph networks, GP can be applied to structural design problems to produce solutions that offer significant improvements over traditional GA based methods. The paper concludes by presenting the direction...
