AI Revolution in Geotechnical Engineering

It is almost impossible these days to escape the new technologies and concepts such as Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the field of geotechnical engineering there is currently a rapid increase in innovations linked to the development of these technologies. One aspect that will be considered in this presentation is how AI models can help in transforming data into knowledge/tools that geotechnical engineers can use to optimize their designs. This presentation highlights different applications of AI to predict many aspects of geotechnical engineering where uncertainty exists such as soil properties, constitutive relationships, prediction of settlement, bearing capacity and internal erosion. Applications at different scales will be considered as well.
