Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Structural Engineering and Materials explores the profound potential of AI and ML to revolutionize the way structural systems and materials are designed, analyzed, and maintained, unlocking new possibilities for precision, adaptability, and optimization.

The book’s detailed chapters cover a wide range of topics, offering both fundamental knowledge and cutting-edge insights into the integration of these sophisticated technologies. Key areas include structural health monitoring, response and behavior of structural systems under various loads, strengthening, retrofitting, and design enhancement, as well as evaluation of the mechanical properties, durability, sustainability, and resilience of the materials employed. Additionally, the book examines AI and ML applications in reliability, risk, and lifecycle analysis, along with the prediction of structural interactions with environmental factors like wind, fluid, soil, fire, and extreme natural hazards.

This work goes beyond a technically sound and thorough research reference resource, blending data-driven models with traditional engineering methods to refine existing practices, while providing clear, actionable techniques for advancing engineering solutions through the strategic uptake of innovations. Readers are presented with a structured overview of how these tools can fundamentally transform the field, emphasizing their capacity to drive efficiency, lower costs, increase safety, and promote long-term environmental viability.
