Inhaltsangabe

Interpretable Machine Learning for the Analysis, Design, Assessment, and Informed Decision Making for Civil Infrastructure highlights the growing trend of fostering machine learning to realize contemporary, smart, and safe infrastructure. This volume delves into the latest advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, providing readers with practical insights into their applications in the analysis, design, and assessment of civil infrastructure. From the innovative use of Generative Adversarial Networks in the design of shear wall structures to the application of deep learning for damage inspection of concrete structures, each chapter offers a unique perspective on the integration of cutting-edge technology in the field. Explore the potential of AI-driven fire safety design for smart buildings, the challenges and promises of large-scale evacuation modeling, and the use of machine learning classifiers for evaluating liquefaction potential. The book also features an in-depth discussion on explainable machine learning models for predicting the axial capacity of strengthened CFST columns and the development of spalling detection techniques using deep learning. Whether you are a civil engineer, researcher, or industry professional, this book is an invaluable resource that will equip you with the knowledge and tools to revolutionize civil infrastructure design and management. This book presents innovative research results supplemented with case studies from leading researchers in this dynamic and emerging field to be used as benchmarks to carry out future experiments and/or facilitate the development of future experiments and advanced numerical models. The book is delivered as a guide for a wide audience, including senior postgraduate students, academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and practicing engineers working in civil, environmental, and mechanical engineering.

He is currently serving as the chair of the ASCE Advances in Information Technology committee and on a number of international editorial boards, as well as codal building committees (in ASCE, ACI, PCI, and FiB). He is a registered professional engineer in the states of Michigan and South Carolina.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The past few years have demonstrated how civil infrastructure continues to experience an unprecedented scale of extreme loading conditions (i.e. hurricanes, wildfires and earthquakes). Despite recent advancements in various civil engineering disciplines, specific to the analysis, design and assessment of structures, it is unfortunate that it is common nowadays to witness large scale damage in buildings, bridges and other infrastructure.

The analysis, design and assessment of infrastructure comprises of a multitude of dimensions spanning a highly complex paradigm across material sciences, structural engineering, construction and planning among others. While traditional methods fall short of adequately accounting for such complexity, fortunately, computational intelligence presents novel solutions that can effectively tackle growing demands of intense extreme events and modern designs of infrastructure – especially in this era where infrastructure is reaching new heights and serving larger populations with high social awareness and expectations.

Computational Intelligence for Analysis, Design and Assessment of Civil Infrastructure highlights the growing trend of fostering the use of CI to realize contemporary, smart and safe infrastructure. This is an emerging area that has not fully matured yet and hence the book will draw considerable interest and attention. In a sense, the book presents results of innovative efforts supplemented with case studies from leading researchers that can be used as benchmarks to carryout future experiments and/or facilitate development of future experiments and advanced numerical models. The book is written with the intention to serve as a guide for a wide audience including senior postgraduate students, academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and practicing engineers working in civil, structural and mechanical engineering.
