The Framework for an AI-Powered Structural Design Engine

Описание: This video provides a complete architectural blueprint for building an AI-powered engine for the structural design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures. We outline a full, end-to-end workflow designed to act as a powerful assistant for engineers, capable of producing optimized, code-compliant designs and generating a full suite of construction-ready documents.

This is a technical deep dive for experienced structural engineers, computational designers, and AEC innovators. We move from the foundational knowledge-engineering of ACI 318 principles to the final deployment of a system that automates analysis, design, and drafting.

Key Concepts Explored:

Knowledge Engineering: Translating ACI 318-19 (Flexure, Shear, Torsion) into machine-readable formats.

Machine Learning: The complete training protocol for a Deep Neural Network (DNN), including data partitioning and residual analysis.

AI Architecture: Designing a modular, API-driven "Master AI" to orchestrate complex workflows.

CAD Automation: Using libraries to programmatically generate layered and annotated DXF/DWG files.

Design Optimization: Integrating ML models into optimization loops to find the most efficient material usage.

AEC Technology: A practical look at the future of automated design and project delivery.

What is the single biggest hurdle to implementing this technology in practice today? We invite your professional perspective in the comments below.
