    In simple words, work breakdown structure (WBS) is a breakdown of the project to smaller parts or components for deliverable oriented. It is a term related to project management and systems engineering.

    It is a simplifying tool for a particular task of the project.

    Following are the purpose of the work  breakdown structure:

    1. To recognise the distinct nature of large activity or project
    2. Used for estimating the cost and time required for a project
    3. Control and monitor the tasks
    4. Used for controlling and give unique Identity to each task.

    Following are types of WBS:

    1. Phase Oriented WBS
    2. Deliverable oriented WBS

    Following are some effective guidelines for WBS

    1. The internal in trim and external work of the project should be identified and must all the deliverables that have to be completed.
    2. Using a top-down approach in the project is divided into sub-projects and this continues until the task can be estimated. This approach is popular because of great accuracy.
    3. Level of details
    4. Symmetry absence.
    5. Details of level

    Eidograph has the simple function of copying maps and plots to a different scale. It works on the same principles as a pantograph with the only difference of mechanism. The pantograph uses linkages arranged in a parallelogram while the eidograph might have either a string and pulley system or parallelogram linkages.

    There are two pens attached. If you move the primary pin on the map, after setting a desired scale, the secondary pen draws the same map scaled to the scale you set.

    Since the installation method of Daido piles is changed, construction problems like deformation of pile tip shoes, crushing of concrete at pile tip etc. occur.

    1. Elevation of water should be in such a manner that the water will flow under the gravity force.
    2. All the construction materials should be available in the surrounding area.
    3. Diversion head should be near the irrigation for irrigating area as possible and for keeping minimum canal length.

    that is  a  great question.

    well in a very shot manner you can use that AI in lean construction.as well as you can implement it in BIM world, Some time you can use this AI tools in Management level in construction field for visualization problem.

    For using robot in construction or civil engineering field AI can control that robot.

    AI also helps in development of robots and automated systems. role of artificial intelligence is
    reported in the case of smart materials. The smart system refers to a device which can sense changes in its
    environment and can make an optimal response by changing its material properties, geometry. Both the sensor and the actuator functions with their appropriate feedback must be properly integrated

    Structural Engineering – In the field of structural engineering, they are used to evaluate durability. Not only
    the smart materials or structures are restricted to sensing but also they adapt to their surrounding environment
    such as the ability to move, vibrate and demonstrate various other responses as well as for monitoring the
    integrity of bridges, dams, offshore oil-drilling towers where fiber-optic sensors embedded in the structures are
    utilized to identify the trouble areas.
    Waste management – Manual disassembly of the waste is a challenging, expensive and time consuming task
    but the use of smart materials could help to automate the process. Even it shows a role in food waste
    management.
    Concrete mix design – Concrete mix design is difficult and sensitive. The concrete mix design is based on the
    principles of workability of fresh concrete, desired strength and durability of hardened concrete which in turn is
    governed by water-cement ratio law. The strength of the concrete is determined by the characteristics of the
    mortar, coarse aggregate, and the interface. For the same quality mortar, different types of coarse aggregate with
    different shape, texture, mineralogy, and strength may result in different concrete strengths.
    Estimation: artificial neural networks (ANNs) are most suited for developing decision aids with analogy-based
    problem-solving capabilities in the estimation.

    As well as you can use AI in your network system that can be
