The current monitoring method relies on visual and time-consuming feedbacks by project managers, which can be subjective. With this method, poor workmanship cannot be detected well on the spot; rather, the concrete is inspected and repaired after it becomes hardened. To address the problems of retroactive quality control measures and to achieve real-time quality assurance of concrete operations, this paper presents a monitoring and warning solution for concrete placement and vibration workmanship quality. Specifically, the solution allows for collecting and compiling real-time sensor data related to the workmanship quality and can send alerts to project managers when related parameters are out of the required ranges. This study consists of four steps: (1) identifying key operational factors (KOFs) which determine acceptable workmanship of concrete work; (2) reviewing and selecting an appropriate positioning technology for collecting the data of KOFs; (3) designing and programming modules for a solution that can interpret the positioning data and send alerts to project managers when poor workmanship is suspected; and (4) testing the solution at a certain construction site for validation by comparing the positioning and warning data with a video record. The test results show that the monitoring performance of concrete placement is accurate and reliable. Follow-up studies will focus on developing a communication channel between the proposed solution and concrete workers, so that feedbacks can be directly delivered to them.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72138,"journal":{"name":"AI in civil engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48794251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To integrate all the achievements delivered so far and further step up their progress, this study proposes a novel theory, Engineering Brain, by effectively adopting the Metaverse concept in the field of civil engineering. Specifically, the evolution of the Metaverse and its key supporting technologies are first reviewed; then, the Engineering Brain theory is presented, including its theoretical background, key components and their inter-connections. Outlooks of this theory’s implementation within the AEC sector are offered, as a description of the Metaverse of future engineering. Through a comparison between the proposed Engineering Brain theory and the Metaverse, their relationships are illustrated; and how Engineering Brain may function as the Metaverse for future engineering is further explored. Providing an innovative insight into the future engineering sector, this study can potentially guide the entire industry towards its new era based on the Metaverse environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72138,"journal":{"name":"AI in civil engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42932293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed model first combines deep fisher discriminant analysis (DDA) and Gaussian Process (GP) in a unified framework, so as to extract deep discriminant features and enhance the model performance for classification. To deliver fair evaluation, the classifier is validated in the approach of repeated stratified <i>K</i>-fold cross validation. Then, five different data resources are presented to further verify the model’s robustness and generality. To reuse the gained knowledge from the existing data sources and enhance the generality of the predictive model, a domain adaption approach is formulated by combing a deep Autoencoder with TrAdaboost, to achieve good performance over different data records from both the in-situ and laboratory observations. After comparing the proposed model with classical machine learning models, such as supported vector machine, as well as with the state-of-art ensemble learning models, it is found that, regarding seismic-induced liquefaction prediction, the predicted results of this model show high accuracy on all datasets both in the repeated cross validation and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is made on the DDA-GP model to reveal the features that may significantly affect the liquefaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72138,"journal":{"name":"AI in civil engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48959446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these tools are typically based on RGB images, which work well under ideal lighting conditions, but often have degrading performance in poor and low-light scenes. On the other hand, thermal images, while lacking in crispness of details, do not show the same degradation of performance in changing lighting conditions. The potential to enhance automated damage detection by fusing RGB and thermal images together within a deep learning network has yet to be explored. In this paper, RGB and thermal images are fused in a ResNET-based semantic segmentation model for vision-based inspections. A convolutional neural network is then employed to automatically identify damage defects in concrete. The model uses a thermal and RGB encoder to combine the features detected from both spectrums to improve its performance of the model, and a single decoder to predict the classes. The results suggest that this RGB-thermal fusion network outperforms the RGB-only network in the detection of cracks using the Intersection Over Union (IOU) performance metric. The RGB-thermal fusion model not only detected damage at a higher performance rate, but it also performed much better in differentiating the types of damage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72138,"journal":{"name":"AI in civil engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45579458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
