🚀 Engineering Innovation with Generative AI
As you know, we have been working on faster workflows: our reputation depends on it:
We acknowlege QUALITY is non-negotiable, so we differentiate with SPEED.
Today, we’re thrilled to share a significant breakthrough that exemplifies how generative AI, like ChatGPT, is transforming the world of civil and structural engineering.
Our team at Arch Engineers has been working on leveraging AI to assist in real-time design calculations and structural analysis, enabling us to explore design functions, analysis and calculation checks with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
The (extremely) simple handsketch example:
With a single sketch, we determined the load distribution, calculated the bending moments, assessed the maximum shear forces, and even validated the shear capacity of weathering steel beams — all within minutes.
This innovation isn’t just about speeding up our workflows; it’s about enhancing precision and opening new possibilities in design and analysis. Imagine the potential when AI can instantly analyze complex scenarios, optimize material usage, and ensure the safety and efficiency of structures — all while engineers focus on the creative aspects of design.
Generative AI is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s here, reshaping how we approach challenges and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in engineering.
🔧 The future is bright, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of integrating AI into our engineering processes. Whether it’s bridges, tunnels, or complex infrastructure, we’re building smarter and more efficiently than ever before.

“Please review this sketch and provide a complete material takeoff.”
=================
“What are the dimensions of the steel beams if scaled off the sketch?”
=================
“What’s the bending moment on the beams based on the deadweight of the slab?”
=================
“If a 50 ton truck with 2.5meters between the axles, drove over this concrete slab, and the beam was acting as a bridge, assuming the left pair of the truck’s wheels were on an adjacent simlarly constructed bridge, what would the maximum shear force be on the steel beam?”

“What is the shear capacity of these beams, assuming they are standard weathering steel?”
