Summary
This article is devoted to a variety of applications of fuzzy models in civil engineering, presenting current work of a group of researchers at the University of Innsbruck. With fuzzy methods and possibility theory as an encompassing framework, the following areas are addressed: uncertainties in geotechnical engineering, fuzzy finite element computation of a foundation raft, fuzzy dynamical systems, processing uncertainty in project scheduling and cost planning.
