Abstract

The design and analysis of structures is performed with the use of national and international design codes that usually suggest the use of semi-empirical formulae. Often the formulae are oversimplified, in some cases are not available to engineers, or are time-consuming and challenging to implement. The objective of this chapter is to demonstrate the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop more accurate formulae for different types of applications related to structural design. The applications that are discussed in this work include predicting the shear capacity of reinforced concrete slender and deep beams without stirrups, calculating the fundamental period of reinforced concrete and steel structures, and predicting the deflection of horizontally curved steel I-beams.
