Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering: Recent Advances provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in applying artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to solve complex civil engineering problems. Civil engineers today face challenges that demand not only safety and cost-effectiveness, but also sustainability and resilience against natural hazards. This volume demonstrates how AI offers powerful tools to meet these demands by transforming traditional engineering methodologies. The chapters present a broad spectrum of applications, including predicting shear wave velocity, slope stability, estimating uniaxial compressive strength of soils, optimization-based design of reinforced concrete retaining walls, structural control strategies for seismic resilience, and the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with AI-driven solutions. Machine learning, deep learning, and metaheuristic algorithms are explored in detail, supported by real-world case studies and experimental data. By bridging theory with practice, the book highlights how AI enhances predictive accuracy, optimizes design processes, and reduces computational effort in engineering tasks.…
