Elsevier Artificial Intelligence-Based Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures: Artificial Neural Networks for Engineering Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Artificial Intelligence-Based Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures: Artificial Neural Networks for Engineering Applications is an essential reference resource for readers who want to learn how to perform artificial intelligence-based structural design. The book describes, in detail, the main concepts of ANNs and their application and use in civil and architectural engineering. It shows how neural networks can be established and implemented depending on the nature of a broad range of diverse engineering problems. The design examples include both civil and architectural engineering solutions, for both structural engineering and concrete structures. Those who have not had the opportunity to study or implement neural networks before will find this book very easy to follow. It covers the basic network theory and how to formulate and apply neural networks to real-world problems. Plenty of examples based on real engineering problems and solutions are included to help readers better understand important concepts. Helps civil engineers understand the fundamentals of AI and ANNs and how to apply them in simple reinforced concrete design cases Contains practical case study examples on the application of AI technology in structural engineer Teaches readers how to apply ANNs as solutions for a broad range of engineering problems Includes AI-based software [MATLAB], which will enable readers to verify AI-based examples
