This book highlights the latest technologies and applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the domain of construction engineering and management. The construction industry worldwide has been a late bloomer to adopting digital technology, where construction projects are predominantly managed with a heavy reliance on the knowledge and experience of construction professionals. AI works by combining large amounts of data with fast, iterative processing, and intelligent algorithms (e.g., neural networks, process mining, and deep learning), allowing the computer to learn automatically from patterns or features in the data. It provides a wide range of solutions to address many challenging construction problems, such as knowledge discovery, risk estimates, root cause analysis, damage assessment and prediction, and defect detection. A tremendous transformation has taken place in the past years with the emerging applications of AI. This enables industrial participants to operate projects more efficiently and safely, not only increasing the automation and productivity in construction but also enhancing the competitiveness globally.

This book highlights the latest technologies and applications of intelligent construction in the domain of tunneling works. Rapid urbanization has surged the rapid development of underground infrastructures in major metropolitans around the world over the past decades. The development of urban tunnel systems is a challenging task with high complexity in terms of design, construction, and maintenance. Recent advancements in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have driven vast transformations around the world with successful implementations in many domains of science. Under the concept of “industry 4.0”, there are many attempts at intelligent construction using the latest ICTs, where the major applications in urban system development mainly focus on building information modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, and computer vision. A tremendous transformation has taken place in the past years with the emerging intelligent construction applications in urban tunnel development. This enables industrial participants to operate projects more efficiently and safely, not only increasing the automation and productivity in tunnel development but also enhancing construction competitiveness globally.
