This course provides an introduction to systems analysis for problems in civil engineering. Systems analysis tools that facilitate decision-making in engineering design and management are presented with particular emphasis on fundamentals of systems approach, linear programming, integer programming, multiobjective programming, dynamic programming, sensitivity analysis, uncertainty modeling, Monte-Carlo simulation, and decision making under uncertainty. Applications to transportation systems, project management, civil structural design, geomatics engineering, water resources systems and environmental pollution control systems are emphasized.
