Smart Heuristics in Civil Engineering: Unearthing the Unexploited
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3239-1304
Smart heuristics—simple task-specific decision strategies that function under specific conditions—have been shown to provide more accurate outcomes than do statistical models in uncertainty settings. Yet, within civil engineering, smart heuristics have not been consciously used as a decision-making tool given uncertainty. This paper aims to introduce civil engineers to smart heuristics. It presents a series of scenarios in which rework was required in construction and that are used to create a fast-and-frugal tree—a form of heuristic—to demonstrate how they can be potentially used for decision making in the field. The contributions of this paper are twofold: (1) a renewed conceptualization for the treatment of uncertainty is presented for civil engineers to consider, and (2) new tools for decision making given uncertainty are unearthed with a corresponding call to explore how they can be exploited in practice is propagated.
