 INTRODUCTION

 Artifi cial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of

machines to perform tasks that typically require human
intelligence.
 These tasks include problem-solving, learning from data,
decision-making, pattern recognition, and automation.
 In civil engineering, AI enhances traditional methods by
integrating advanced algorithms and computational
models to improve effi ciency, accuracy, and safety.
