Description of  AI-Based Optimized Design of Structural Frames: With Application to Practical Building Designs

1032536810 pdf This book introduces an autodesignbased optimization for building frames using an artificial neural network (ANN)based Lagrange method and novel genetic algorithm (GA). The work of great mathematician JosephLouis Lagrange and ANNs are merged to identify parameters that optimize structural frames of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel frames subject to one or more design constraints. New features for enhancing conventional GA are also demonstrated to optimize structural frames. New features for optimizing multiple design targets of the building frames are highlighted, while design requirements imposed by codes are automatically satisfied. Chapters provide readers with an understanding of how both ANNbased and novel GAbased structural optimization can be implemented in holistically optimizing designated design targets for building structural frames, guiding readers toward more rational designs that is consistent with American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and American Concrete Institute (ACI) standards. ANNbased holistic designs of multistory frames in general and reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and steel frames in particular, are introduced. Read more
