A review of major paradigms and models for the design of civil engineering systems

Abstract In this paper, the author presents the five classical paradigms of the process of design in civil engineering and identifies a new emerging paradigm: the interactive multi-attribute learning paradigm. This paradigm is studied in terms of actors, structures and OR instruments which can help to fulfil its application to modern design of civil engineering systems.
