The integration of human-machine intelligence (IHMI) in civil engineering represents a pioneering approach to overcoming the challenges inherent in high-stakes, uncertain, and evolving project environments. This special collection is dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of IHMI by blending human cognitive skills with the computational power of AI. It seeks contributions that explore new concepts, methodologies, and best practices, along with experiments and case studies, to showcase the effectiveness and potential of IHMI in enhancing decision-making and reliability in civil engineering projects.
