By: Ajit Singh

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book, "Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering," is born out of the pressing need to equip the next generation of civil engineers—and indeed, practicing professionals—with the knowledge and skills to navigate and lead this transformation.


"Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering: Bridging Bytes and Beams for a Smarter, Sustainable Future" is a comprehensive textbook designed to introduce undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate (M.Tech) students, as well as practicing civil engineers and researchers, to the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the domain of civil engineering. In an era where data is ubiquitous and computational power is rapidly advancing, AI offers unprecedented opportunities to address complex challenges, optimize designs, enhance efficiency, and build more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
