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. Focuses on civil engineering applications for extreme events Explains the fundamentals of AI/ML and how they can be applied in civil engineering Features case study examples, design codes, and problems and solutions that would work for extreme events
