An approach to the modelling of systems in civil engineering is presented. It allows the integration of quantitative relations in a qualitative causal framework which uses objects and Petri nets to represent the device and process ontologies. This approach supports the modelling and simulation of the behaviour of a physical system and causal explanations of it. The explanations are customisable depending on the needs of different users. The approach is shown by modelling the seismic behaviour of a masonry building, simulating it and generating causal explanations tailored for the needs of different users. An example application is presented through IGOR, a decision support system for seismic assessment of buildings and planning of precautionary operations.

Abstract
An approach to the modelling of systems in civil engineering is presented. It allows the integration of quantitative relations in a qualitative causal framework which uses objects and Petri nets to represent the device and process ontologies. This approach supports the modelling and simulation of the behaviour of a physical system and causal explanations of it. The explanations are customisable depending on the needs of different users. The approach is shown by modelling the seismic behaviour of a masonry building, simulating it and generating causal explanations tailored for the needs of different users. An example application is presented through IGOR, a decision support system for seismic assessment of buildings and planning of precautionary operations.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
