Uses of Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering

Srushti Chute, Priyanka Soni, Megha Salve

Abstract :

Artificial Intelligence (AI), a branch of computer science, focuses on the development and application of intelligent systems. Solving complex problems typically demands substantial computational power, but AI-driven technologies offer a more efficient alternative. This paper explores recent advancements in AI concepts and methodologies within civil engineering, highlighting the fields rapid progress. With significant developments in big data, deep learning, and machine learning, AI has been effectively integrated into various domains of civil engineering. Key areas of AI research in the field include structural analysis, maintenance, and design optimization. The implementation of AI enhances data collection, sustainability assessment, and productivity, offering substantial benefits to civil engineers. The digital transformation of the construction industry has led to a growing emphasis on sustainability. Traditionally, computing in civil engineering has been centred around numerical and algorithmic calculations. However, addressing real-world, unstructured, and empirical challenges requires the use of expert systems and AI-based solutions.
