Civil Engineering and Construction: The Role of AI and Iot (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798888365151)

Civil engineering and construction comprises the planning, design and construction of infrastructure essential for society. Civil engineering involves applying scientific principles to create and maintain structures such as bridges, highways and buildings that withstand various environmental forces. It includes disciplines like structural engineering, which focuses on designing frameworks to support loads safely and geotechnical engineering, ensuring stable foundations. Construction, integral to civil engineering, translates these designs into physical reality through skilled labour, materials management and project coordination. Together, civil engineering and construction aim to improve public safety, enhance transportation networks and support economic development. Advances in technology, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and sustainable construction practices, drive innovation in the field, promoting efficiency and environmental protection. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of advances in civil engineering and construction. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of civil engineering and construction. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
