Uncertainty in civil engineering systems: probability and fuzzy sets
Decisions in civil engineering systems have to be made in the face of uncertainty. Probability theory has been used to quantify this uncertainty. Claims for the use of fuzzy set theory in accommodating semantic ideas have been made. The relationship between these two theories as expressions of uncertainty in decision making is explored by means of Saaty's two by two construction for the assessment of subjective probabilities and fuzzy supports, and by an examination of the psychological evidence with respect to fuzzy set theories.
