Materials-oriented integrated design and construction of structures in civil engineering—A review [PDF]

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering, 2022
AbstractDesign is a goal-oriented planning activity for creating products, processes, and systems with desired functions through specifications. It is a decision-making exploration: the design outcome may vary greatly depending on the designer’s knowledge and philosophy. Integrated design is one type of design philosophy that takes an interdisciplinary
