INTRODUCTION
1.Branch of computer science, involves-research, design and application of
computer science-developed in 1956
 Goal how to imitate and execute some of the intelligent functions of human
brain
 Interaction of several kinds of disciplines such as
 Computer science
 Cybernetics
 Information theory
 Psychology
 Neurophysiology
 Main theories and methods –
 Symbolism
 Behaviourism
 Connectionism approach
DEVELOPMENT OF AI
1. Developed by John McCarthy
2. Describes the process of human thinking as a mechanical
manipulation of symbol
3. Main constituents of soft computing –
>Neural networks
>Evolutionary algorithms
>Probably reasoning
>Fuzzy-logic
• Application of AI in civil engineering include the use of ANN in
• Designing
• Planning
• Construction and management of infrastructures
• Helps to predict tender bids construction cost and construction budget
performances
INTELLIGENT OPTIMIZATION METHODS IN CIVIL
ENGINEERING
 Applied in
 Expert system
 Knowledge base system
 Intelligent database system
 Intelligent robot system
 Expert system ‘the knowledge management and decision making technology
of the 21st century’
APPLICATION OF AI IN CIVIL ENGINEERING
 Used in construction management, building materials, hydraulic optimization,
geotechnical and transportation engineering
 Construction planners generate and evaluate optimal construction plans
 The smart system refers to device which can sense changes in its environment
 Development of robots and automated system
1. Structural health monitoring
• >Embedding sensors monitor stress and damage can reduce maintenance cost
of increase life span
• >Used in over 40 bridges world wide
2. Self repair materials
• >Embedding thin tubes containing uncured resin
• >Due to damage these tubes break, exposing the resin which fills any damage
and sets
• >It is important in inaccessible environments such as underwater or in space
3. Structural engineering
 >Used to evaluate durability
 >Smart materials or structures are restricted to sensing
 >They adapt to their surrounding environment
 >Monitor the integrity of bridges, dams, offshore oil drilling towers etc.
4. Water management
 >Challenging expensive and time consuming task
 >Smart material helps to automate the process
 >Even it shows a role in food waste management
5. Concrete mix design
 >Difficult and sensitive
 Based on the principle of workability of concrete desired strength and
durability concrete which in turn is governed by water cement ratio law
 >Strength of concrete determined by the characteristic of mortar and coarse
aggregate
6. Estimation
 >Suited for developing decision aids with analogy based problem capabilities
7.Bridge planning using GIS and
Expert system approach

>GIS and expert system has two


methodologies comparing candidate site and
candidate type
>Computation power and quantitative
comparison can be done faster
8.Intelligent planning of
construction project

• Represent knowledge about how to


generate plans
9.Modelling initial design process using ANN
• Initial design process - extremely difficult to computerize
• Development of a network for the initial design of reinforced-
concrete rectangular namaste single-span beams has been
reported
• The network predicts a good initial design for a given set of
input parameters
FUTURE TRENDS
• Fuzzy processing, integrated intelligent technology and intelligent
emotion technology in civil engineering
• Hybrid intelligence system and a large civil expert system approach
• used in many areas of civil engineering
ADVANTAGES
1. Reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace
2. Not affected by hostile environments
3. Can replace tiresome tasks
4. Don’t need break at work
DISADVANTAGES
1. Can be very expensive
2. Not able to work outside of what they are programmed to do
3. Unemployment may risk
4. Robots do not get better with experience…yet
CONCLUSION
 Applied to many civil engineering areas
 Plays a major in constructing and maintaining different aspects of civil
engineering problems
 Perform better than the conventional methods
 Help inexperience users solve engineering problems and experienced
users to improve the work efficiency
 Powerful and practical tool for solving many problems in civil
engineering field
