Civil engineering has experienced a significant technological shift due to the adoption of smart infrastructure systems. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and big data analytics has facilitated real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved infrastructure management. These advancements have transformed the planning, design, and operation of roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. By employing smart sensors and AI-driven algorithms, engineers can now optimize the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from construction through maintenance and eventual demolition. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of how these innovations are being applied in civil engineering, focusing on the benefits, challenges, and future potential of smart infrastructure systems. Case studies of projects in Singapore and the San Francisco Bay Bridge highlight the practical applications and impact of these technologies. Key topics include the role of IoT-enabled sensors, predictive maintenance using AI, and big data for infrastructure planning. Additionally, the paper discusses the hurdles posed by high initial costs, data security, and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration. The conclusion underscores the transformative potential of smart infrastructure systems for creating resilient, sustainable, and efficient urban environments.

Keywords: Smart infrastructure systems, IoT, AI, sensors, predictive maintenance, big data, infrastructure resilience, civil engineering
