of civil engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams. Model-driven or data-driven strategies for structural response prediction
are now widely combined with advances in engineering for use in SHM applications. Engineers have recently demonstrated increasing
interest in using machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve a variety of benefits and possibilities, notably for predicting
structural reactions. This study serves as a comprehensive overview of the use of ML applications for structural response prediction in the
context of SHM for civil engineering structures, with a particular focus on ML, deep learning (DL), and meta-heuristic algorithms. Accord-
ingly, this study summarizes existing knowledge, presents concepts in a simple way, highlights trends, provides methodological insights, and
provides a valuable resource for researchers, stakeholders, and decision-makers to benefit from. It is observed that the use of ML, DL, and
meta-heuristic algorithms to predict the response of civil engineering structures within an acceptable accuracy range can be employed for
SHM, resulting in improved speed, efficiency, and accuracy compared to conventional approaches. DOI: 10.1061/PPSCFX.SCENG-1292.
