Big Data in Civil and Structural Engineering, what's it all about?

Big data refers to extremely large datasets that are difficult to process and analyze using traditional database and software techniques due to their vast volume, high velocity, diverse variety, and complex nature.

While civil and structural engineering are not at this threshold yet, it is coming.

It's a lot to take in, but understanding the landscape and capabilities of this data is the first step.
