Abstract
This paper focuses on the evaluation of flood losses in buildings using genetic algorithms. Specifically, the paper aims to evaluate the influence of material structure and, consequently, different prices on the accuracy of evaluation, taking into account the size of rooms, i.e. the length and width, shape, width-to-length ratio, and flooding depth. The calculation considered three variants of the floor covering solution: laminated composite covering, PVC covering and carpet covering. The results show that the genetic algorithm methodology under development can be used for various materials and compositions, given adequate inclusion of an itemised budget in the data set. The achieved accuracy of evaluation with deviations of <-1 %; 1.72 %> meets the needs of e.g. settlement of insurance claims.
