Abstract - In India, lion's share of development exercises are of reinforced concrete structures, along these lines design of reinforced concrete structures is one of the significant subjects thinking about employment part of Civil Designing understudies.

With expanded underlying setups it is basic to utilize computer programs for analysis and design of structures. Numerous commercial programs are accessible for design of concrete structures; then again they are highly-priced and grant limited user license. Every software program has inherent assumptions which ought to be certainly understood earlier than its implementation in design. It is reliably judicious to develop own projects for plan of structures, as consistently practiced in most plan firms, either by using MS-Excel spreadsheet or some other PC programs.. The lone inconvenience with these programs is that they are costly and are most certainly not customizable/ adaptable for singular necessities. Python has been creating as a most preferred language for computer programming over different dialects on account of its simplicity in programming. Through this paper we tried to attempt a review on the application of python programming language in civil engineering and focused on bringing out advantages of using Python over current practices of computations for different parameters.

Key Words: Python Programming, Predictive Model, Concrete Structures, Python in Civil Engineering, Design of Structures

1. INTRODUCTION Python is an advanced open source programming language which is widely utilized by software engineers across the world for different applications. It is accessible for free and can work effectively on PCs with least setup or configuration. Design of reinforced concrete structure has been done utilizing different commercial software’s accessible on the lookout furthermore; this has been acquainted in the scholastics with a certain degree too. Notwithstanding, these programming projects are costly and it is not moderate for most organizations to buy in adequate number. Besides, utilization of these promptly accessible programming projects does not improve learning angle 8 much as the understudies can get the yield with only couple of snaps.

Programming then again, can improve the learning of the understudies as they need to build up the program for the tackling the issue with differentiated situations. Utilization of programming in Civil Engineering has heaps of preferences furthermore, languages, for example, C, C++ are the piece of educational plan in Civil Engineering in a portion of the colleges. In spite of the fact that this has not brought about apparent achievement attributable to one key issue that these courses are conveyed by a staff from either Computer Science or by non-Civil Engineering personnel. Here falsehoods the upside of Python contrasted and different languages. Any individual who does not have programming foundation can begin utilizing Python as it is intuitive and simple to program. Subsequently, a Civil Engineering staff can utilize this language without devouring broad time on learning the language and begin creating instructional exercises to use this language for his course.

1.1 Application of python in civil engineering In the same way as other fields of engineering, Civil designing additionally include in data science applications. Python is the most well known programming language in data science. The utilizations of data science in development exercises are as per the following: • • • • • • • •

Forecasting of population for urban planning, water supply distribution & sewerage system.

Risk evaluation and moderation, for example, expectation of floods, seismic tremors, cyclones and other natural calamities.

Structural Health Monitoring To anticipate traffic patterns in Highway designing.

Soil simulation and modeling in Geotechnical engineering.

Finite element (FEM) applications in Structural analysis.

Construction planning and management.

ML (Machine Learning) applications include automation in structural design and drawings.

2. Methodology Python has broad standard library and as it is an open source language, numerous helpful libraries are created for its use in information science. Import capacity of the standard library of Python gives the adaptability to utilize these libraries in programming. Some of the libraries which are extremely helpful from Civil Engineering angle are • Scipy • Numpy • Pandas • Matplotlib

2.1 Implementation of Python for RCC Design Course Plan of reinforced concrete structures can be educated very adequately utilizing Python as plan of any underlying component follows a stepwise strategy with checks from IS 456-2000. The stepwise technique can assist with shaping the algorithm for the program. From the programmers viewpoint it is generally simple to program for such cases as it has steady method with variable input from the client what's more, checks from the standard tables, statements of the IS code. Understudies are needed to design different primary components like, beams, slabs, columns, footings and so on for various data sources of span, loading and support conditions. In the event that they are asked to build up the calculation for each primary component (which is only the stepwise system), and requested to program a similar utilizing Python it can help their comprehension to an apparent level.

Further, it will upgrade the inventiveness of the understudies as the programmers can be written in various ways for a similar component and utilization of their innovativeness will urge them to compose the code at all conceivable lines for a muddled underlying model.

2.2 Application of Python in Seismic Analysis and Design of Structures Response spectrum technique is beneficial in seismic find out about due to the fact it is a easy approach making use of most values of stresses in design. It can be properly used in conjunction with the mode. Superposition method. The concept of mode superposition grew to become applicable due to the fact of response spectrum. Response spectrum is a tool having a fundamental function in the seismic analysis and design of structures. It describes the plots of most responses of a single diploma of freedom machine to a specific enter movement at exceptional herbal periods. Response spectrum evaluation is a situation that favors thinking about the frequency consequences and presents a single appropriate horizontal force for the layout of structure. The foundation of engineering seismology is the want to quantify how a given shape responds to complicated ground motions. The structure’s responses computed by using its mass and stiffness distributions. The response spectrum method (RSM) was once cited for the first time in1932 in the doctoral dissertation of Maurice Anthony Biot at Caltech, US. It is an avenue of strategy discovering earthquake response of constructions with the use of waves or vibration mode shapes. The mathematical concepts of oscillations in n-degree-of freedom structures had been taken into consideration from the theories of acoustics developed through Rayleigh. Biot notes that a constructing has a positive range of so called regular modes of vibration, and to every of them corresponds a positive frequency. Biot takes the superb use of Fourier amplitude spectrum to compute the most amplitude of motion of a system.

3. Future scope and Conclusion The world is altering quick and dynamically due to many factors. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, dominates all branches of engineering and greater in Civil engineering. We need to be equipped for the subsequent massive task - automation in the Civil engineering industry..Python has additionally made its utility in civil engineering for automation duties like calculating bending moment, shear pressure ,reactions at supports, you can use IS 456:2000 or any codes books as a module and can be used to refer whilst designing complicated troubles like evaluation of multi-storey buildings, lot greater can be carried out the use of Python Like many fields of engineering, Civil engineering also involve in data science applications. Python is the most popular programming language in data science. The new graduates are experiencing the enhancement of Python Programming in teaching-learning process. Implementation of Python programming in undergraduate design course will improve the analytical skills of the students and have significant contribution to make them design industry ready professionals.
