Abstract
Nowadays civil engineering is facing the transformation of the combination of intelligent, digital and other modern new technologies. Civil engineering, as a traditional industry, may not be able to meet the efficiency and requirements of today's technological society. In order to adapt to the development of society, civil engineering is trying to transform to other disciplines. In recent decades, intellectualization and digitization have begun to affect the way civil engineering works and operates. In fact, intellectualization and digitalization can affect every stage of the whole civil engineering process, including the design stage, construction stage and service stage. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of intelligence and digitization in civil engineering. Some of the most important applications are listed and further explained, and the future development prospect is preliminarily analyzed and prospected. By enumerating the innovation brought by intelligence and digitalization to civil engineering, it inspires people to carry on more in-depth thinking, further adaptation and new adjustment to the future civil engineering.
