Abstract

The rough set theory is a relatively recent mathematical approach to definition and analysis of vagueness, ambiguity and uncertainty, and it is suitable tool in data mining system. The paper presents a decision rule modeling for classification and analysis the cause of concrete cracking in relation to time (in fresh or hardened concrete) and physical, chemical, thermal and load impact in uncertain environment. The model is based on stochastic approach and decision table is obtained by considering cracks characteristic as attribute set. It is shown that the objective decision rules for given parameters related to cracks classification can be formulated.
