Decision-making is a key factor to achieve success in any discipline,
especially in a field like civil engineering, which is based on
calculations and requires large amounts of information being taken
into account. Most processes and procedures are a compendium of many
different tasks and requirements specific to each project under
development, and making decisions in such environments can often be an
arduous endeavor. That is why the need for analytical criteria capable
of assisting with untangling complex scenarios has arisen
preponderantly. As an all-encompassing resource, _Multicriteria
Decision-Making Analysis for Civil Engineering Applications_
facilitates civil engineers by outlining state-of-the-art techniques
for quantitative decision-making to optimally select the appropriate
approach when faced with operational issues or to prioritize among
multiple options. Authored by recognized experts in the field, this
book proves to be a balanced reference volume that is essential not
just for civil engineers, but also for a wide variety of audiences in
interconnected disciplines.
