Abstract

In this interdisciplinary study, we present a framework for applying computational intelligence techniques to address structural engineering design problems that are ill-structured and do not have well-established and tested theoretical models. The framework is presented as a design artifact that is validated through a case study in structural engineering using a large set of experimental data on shear failure of reinforced concrete beams.

Computational Intelligence for Engineering Design Applications: A Case Study in Structural Engineering

In this interdisciplinary study, we present a framework for applying computational intelligence techniques to address structural engineering design problems that are ill-structured and do not have well-established and tested theoretical models. The framework is presented as a design artifact that is validated through a case study in structural engineering using a large set of experimental data on shear failure of reinforced concrete beams.
