Abstract: The capabilities of data-driven models based on machine learning (ML) algorithms in offering accurate predictions of structural responses efficiently have been demonstrated in numerous recent studies. However, efforts to ...

Abstract: RC shear walls are commonly used as lateral load-resisting elements in seismic regions, and the estimation of their shear strengths can become simultaneously design-critical and complex when they have so-called squat ...

Abstract: Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are widely used to control excessive wind-induced vibration in the box girders of long-span bridges. Although the optimal design of TMDs has been investigated abundantly in the last few years, the ...
