State-of-the-art workflows within Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) are still caught in sequential planning processes. Digital design tools in this domain often lack proper communication between different stages of design and relevant domain knowledge. Furthermore, decisions made in the early stages of design, where sketching is use...

... the whole sketch into a solid and, accordingly, matches to the type of point clouds that Points2Surf is trained on. Secondly, since point clouds are obtained from triangle strips, setting the resolution of the pinhole camera can lead to a very dense point cloud independent of drawing speed and sampled points within Unity's update frame rate. Fig. 6 depicts the point cloud of the same sketch as the one in Fig. 6 obtained with the newly devised ...

Modeling and simulation have been extensively used to solve a wide range of problems in structural engineering. However, many simulations require significant computational resources, resulting in exponentially increasing computational time as the spatial and temporal scales of the models increase. This is particularly relevant as the demand for higher fidelity models and simulations increases. Recently, the rapid developments in artificial intelligence technologies, coupled with the wide availability of computational resources and data, have driven the extensive adoption of machine learning techniques to improve the computational accuracy and precision of simulations, which enhances their practicality and potential. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of the methodologies and techniques used in this context to solve computationally demanding problems, such as structural system identification, structural design, and prediction applications. Specialized deep neural network algorithms, such as the enhanced probabilistic neural network, have been the subject of numerous articles. However, other machine learning algorithms, including neural dynamic classification and dynamic ensemble learning, have shown significant potential for major advancements in specific applications of structural engineering. Our objective in this paper is to provide a state-of-the-art review of machine learning-based modeling in structural engineering, along with its applications in the following areas: (i) computational mechanics, (ii) structural health monitoring, (iii) structural design and manufacturing, (iv) stress analysis, (v) failure analysis, (vi) material modeling and design, and (vii) optimization problems. We aim to offer a comprehensive overview and provide perspectives on these powerful techniques, which have the potential to become alternatives to conventional modeling methods.
