Application of Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of Civil Engineering and Crisis Management

Crisis Management is a multi-task field of science which has close connection with other fields such as Engineering, Management, Risk Assessment and IT. Beside this, Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science, involved in the research, design, and application of intelligent computer. Recently, traditional methods for computing of complex structures are becoming expired and new, innovative, more complete and quick systems are being used for complicated calculations. As mentioned above, AI or Artificial Intelligence as a based-solution process can provide valuable alternatives for efficiently solving problems in the civil engineering and its related aspects for risk and crisis management planning. This paper talks about recently developed methods and theories in the developing direction for applications of artificial intelligence in civil engineering, especially in the field of earthquake engineering as one the essential field for assessing natural disasters. AI includes evolutionary computation, neural networks, fuzzy systems, expert system, reasoning, classification, and learning, as well as others like chaos theory, cuckoo search, firefly algorithm, knowledge-based engineering, and simulated annealing and all of these traits are necessary for multi- factor problems such as Crisis Management issues and affect in regional resilience.
