Shallow Foundations Civil Engineering Notes

Shallow Foundations Civil Engineering Notes Shallow Foundations A shallow foundation is a type of foundation which transfers building loads to the earth very near the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of depths as does a deep foundation. Shallow foundations include spread footing foundations, mat-slab foundations, slab-on-grade foundations, pad foundations, rubble … Read more

Genetic Algorithm Fundamentals Basic Concepts Notes

Genetic Algorithm Fundamentals Basic Concepts Notes Introduction Genetic Algorithms are a family of computational models inspired by evolution. These algorithms encode a potential solution to a specific problem on a simple chromosome-like data structure and apply recombination operators to these structures as as to preserve critical information. Genetic algorithms are often viewed as function optimizer, … Read more

Fuzzy set theory Notes

Fuzzy set theory Notes What do ya mean fuzzy Before illustrating the mechanisms which make fuzzy logic machines work, it is important to realize what fuzzy logic actually is. Fuzzy logic is a superset of conventional(Boolean) logic that has been extended to handle the concept of partial truth- truth values between “completely true” and “completely … Read more
