The integration of machine learning (ML) into structural engineering has emerged as a transformative approach for analyzing, designing, and monitoring reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Traditional methods, while well-established, often face limitations in modeling the complex, nonlinear behavior of RC elements under varying load and environmental conditions. In contrast, data-driven models have demonstrated superior capabilities in predicting structural responses, optimizing material composition, and enhancing damage detection strategies.
This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research that explores the intersection of ML techniques and RC structures. We welcome both theoretical developments and practical applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Predictive modeling of mechanical properties of RC materials
• ML-driven structural health monitoring and damage detection in RC components
• Optimization of RC design using AI and evolutionary algorithms
• Applications of deep learning and ensemble models in structural analysis
• Data-driven approaches to assess durability, fatigue, and seismic performance
• Integration of digital twin and smart sensor data with ML models
• Hybrid modeling combining physical theories with ML algorithms
Submissions that present novel methodologies, experimental validations, case studies, or interdisciplinary collaborations are especially encouraged. The goal is to foster knowledge exchange between civil engineering and artificial intelligence communities, accelerating the adoption of intelligent tools in the lifecycle management of RC infrastructure.
This Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share insights and innovative solutions that can lead to more resilient, cost-effective, and sustainable concrete infrastructure systems.
