Automating Computational Design with Generative AI [PDF]
AI image generators based on diffusion models have recently garnered attention for their capability to create images from simple text prompts. However, for practical use in civil engineering they need to be able to create specific construction plans for given constraints. This paper investigates the potential of current AI generators in addressing such

Triggering A Climate Change Dominated "Anthropocene": Is It Common Among Exocivilizations? [PDF]
We seek to model the coupled evolution of a planet and a civilization through the era when energy harvesting by the civilization drives the planet into new and adverse climate states. In this way we ask if triggering "anthropocenes" of the kind humanity is experiencing now might be a generic feature of planet-civilization evolution.

Towards the next generation of artificial neural networks for civil engineering
The purpose of this paper is to stimulate interest within the civil engineering research community for developing the next generation of applied artificial neural networks. In particular, it identifies what the next generation of these devices needs to achieve, and provides direction in terms of how their development may proceed.

Mean-Field-Type Games in Engineering
A mean-field-type game is a game in which the instantaneous payoffs and/or the statedynamics functions involve not only the state and the action profile but also the joint distributionsof state-action pairs.

Tractor beams, pressor beams, and stressor beams within the context of general relativity [PDF]
Both traversable wormholes and warp drives, concepts originally developed within the context of science fiction, have now (for some 30 odd years) been studied, debated, and carefully analyzed within the framework of general relativity. An overarching theme of the general relativistic analysis is unavoidable violations of the classical point-wise energy
