报告摘要:Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides wide applications in current society, including predicting, classifying, and solving both social and scientific problems. Civil Engineering (CE), as one of the most mature engineering disciplines, is covering various aspects from the design, construction to the maintenance of the built environment. Generally, CE provides ample practical scope for abilities of AI; in turn, AI improves the quality of human life and originates novel approaches to solving engineering problems. For instance, the structural response analysis and reliability assessment incorporated with AI, also named as data-driven structural analysis, directly applies the data to derive the relationship between the variables and responses, and further establishes surrogate model to reflect this mathematical relationship implicitly involving the complex constitutive relationship. Data-driven analysis method partially avoids the challenge from physics and shares the benefits of self-adaption, self-optimization, and self-correction. In this study, practically significant investigations are conducted to demonstrate the sparks ignited by the new era of civil engineering which is the integration of CE and AI.
