A REVIEW ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATION FOR STEEL STRUCTURE: ISSUES, PROSPECTS, AND EXPECTATIONS

Abstract

AI research and application in civil engineering are being promoted for improving the efficiency and labor saving of various operations. While some technologies such as applications that determine damage level and its extract area from images have been developed in the maintenance field, there are some fields where AI research has not progressed very much. In this paper, we describe the current status, issues, prospects, and expectations of AI application for steel structures. First, the current status of AI research and application for steel structures are compared with that for the other fields in civil engineering. Then, the issues to be solved are pointed out. In the section on prospects and expectations for steel structures, by referring to the AI research and application in various fields, we presernt the future direction of AI application and ideas to activate the study in the field of steel structures.
