Artificial Intelligence for civil engineering

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings new opportunities for the development of civil engineering disciplines. AI technology deeply integrates the whole life cycle of civil infrastructure planning, design, construction and maintenance, and profoundly transforms the development of civil engineering. The deep learning, machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms, computer vision, UAV, 3D printing, BIM, virtual reality and augmented reality techniques are applied to civil engineering, which will form urban and regional planning with unmanned, fully automatic, intelligent and real experience, as well as new technologies for civil engineering design, construction, maintenance, and disaster management. This article expounds the related research and application of AI in the field of civil engineering from the aspects of AI-based urban intelligent planning, intelligent structural design, intelligent construction, intelligent maintenance, and intelligent disaster prevention.
