“…Creativity unleashed by the use of innovative technologies can transform the entrenched relationships among project participants throughout the entire supply chain of this industry. This requires technology transfer from other branches of industry into construction and vice versa, (Skibniewski, Nof 1989;Pan et al 2011;Kaklauskas, Zavadskas 2004) with a thorough technology feasibility evaluation prior to its implementation on construction sites (Gaultney et al 1989;Jiang et al 2012). Much of the current efforts focus on construction innovation aims at the challenges related to environmental sustainability and energy management in the built environment, Zavadskas et al 2008;Turskis et al 2012) safety improvement, (Cheng, Teizer 2011) and productivity enhancement (Chao, Skibniewski 1994;Liao et al 2012;Zavadskas, Vaidogas 2009).…”

This paper deals with the historical and current trends in the development of civil engineering and construction technologies. The authors demonstrate the continuity of creative thought and effort among early master builders and technology developers throughout the history of civilizations that created the most iconic structures remaining in the world heritage of the built environment to the contemporary times. Recent concepts and ongoing efforts in the development of advanced construction technologies based on automation and information sciences, materials science and systems engineering are highlighted in the context of historical ideas and achievements of past architects and construction engineers of the past century.

“…Many studies in civil engineering have utilized nomographs in construction [10][11][12][13], hydraulics and water resources [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], transportation engineering [21][22][23], and structural engineering [24,25]. In the construction industry, nomographs can be utilized for tasks such as determining concrete mix proportions, estimating material quantities based on project parameters, analyzing construction costs versus various variables, and optimizing resource allocation.…”

Engineers have created increasingly complex correlations based on laboratory and field tests. Over time, geotechnical engineering modeling techniques have evolved from simple analytical methods to complex numerical modeling techniques. Nomographs are traditional computational tools that have been widely employed in engineering. Combining nomographs with computational tools such as numerical models and machine learning algorithms can lead to better outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to develop a nomograph for geotechnical engineering that incorporates machine learning, specifically for the unit weight of soil. Four calibrated models were developed to determine the unit weight of soil: the moist unit weight of coarse-grained soil, the saturated unit weight of coarse-grained soil, the moist unit weight of fine-grained soil, and the saturated unit weight of fine-grained soil. An uncertainty test was conducted for the data used. Our results indicated a strong positive relationship to most of the models. The generated nomographs were tested in Malabon, a city in Metro Manila, where a low unit weight of soil was determined. This low unit weight was validated by the predominance of alluvial deposits and the shallow groundwater table, which soften and weaken the soil.

“…• Safety requirement: in extremely complicated and distributed environments like construction sites, it will be very hard to set up fences to separate workers and robots [22]. Since human workers are exposed to robots, humanrobot collaboration systems need some safety requirements such as safety distance [23].…”
