Abstract
Fuzzy logic is the useful tool when assessing the existing reinforced concrete structures. The introduction of expert system in assessing the technical condition of the existing structures built on the fuzzy logic represents a transition to a new and higher-quality level for survey of constructions sites. As a result, it is seen that the assessment of the existing building with usage of the proposed expert system is in compliance with the estimation of the qualified experts.
Highlights
Assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures is becoming a most important but complicated engineering task
General principles of sustainable development regularly lead to the need for an extension of a life of a structure, in most practical cases with severe economic constraints. As it was shown in [1] visual inspection becomes the dominant practice in the management of maintenance, even when the importance of the structural elements are significant
The Fuzzy Logic appears the most qualified tool for the processing of numerical data and uncertain information in order to obtain a linguistic description of structural damage
Summary
Assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures is becoming a most important but complicated engineering task. In order to develop the multilevel expert system for existing structures assessment a Fuzzy Logic-based algorithm is proposed, which used the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox package of MatLab Software [1]. The Fuzzy Logic appears the most qualified tool for the processing of numerical data and uncertain information in order to obtain a linguistic description of structural damage.
