Latest developments in civil engineering will have a tremendous impact in the coming years as this field of core engineering is spanning from the day to day life of the society such as the field of infrastructure, which include buildings, roads, bridges for instance to the more sophisticated fields such as aerospace, energy, transportation etc., In the last few decades the civil engineering land scape has been undergone many changes due to the advent of computers and computing power, wherein the designs were moved from physical drawing boards to the computer screens. The designs were impacted beyond imagination as the three-dimensional (3D) viewing software packages became accessible to the design firms so that the users could view, feel, and even could provide suggestions before the designs were implemented and built. This impact was not only on the designs, but also tremendously on the analysis part, wherein the designs went through several iterations and finally ended up in optimum designs resulting huge cost saving. Having said a brief history on the last few decades, what could be driving the forthcoming years' developments? Without doubt, we can say the magic word DATA, which is going to influence the recent and future developments in civil engineering, similarly to many other fields. Data together with core civil engineers, data scientists, computer engineers, and statisticians could change the outlook of today's civil engineering. No wonder the Industry 4.0 revolution will certainly impact not only on all the fields of engineering, but also on all other fields such as Medicine (e.g. diagnostics, medicine identification, etc.,), Law (e.g. IBM Watson can read millions of documents in seconds of time, which would help legal practitioners to find the correct law points), etc.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
