โฆ Synopsis
This paper presents and discusses the applications of neural networks in concrete structures. It aims at introducing neural networks applications in structural design. The paper covers two applications of neural networks in concrete structures. Backpropagation networks are chosen for the proposed network, which is written using the programming package MAT-LAB. The overall results are compared and observed for the performance of the networks. Based on the applications it was found that neural networks are comparatively effective for a number of reasons, which include the amount of CPU memory consumed by neural networks is less than that consumed by conventional methods and their ease of use and implementation, neural networks provide both the users and the developers more flexibility to cope with different kinds of problems.
