Optimum cost design of reinforced concrete slabs using neural dynamics model

Prediction of punching shear strength of two-way slabs

“…Hoła and Schabowicz [11] used a non-destructive technique and a neural network approach to evaluate the strength of concrete. Neural networks were used to optimize the cost of the design of reinforced concrete slabs [12]. A neural network approach was used to develop a methodology for a concrete mix which has lower cement and water contents, higher durability, better economical and ecological effects [13].…”

Probabilistic neural networks for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using conventional and wavelet coherence

“…They include the backpropagation NN developed in the late 1980s (Rumelhart et al, 1986;Hung and Adeli, 1993), counterpropagation NN (Adeli and Park, 1995a;Sirca and Adeli, 2001;Dharia and Adeli, 2003), adaptive conjugate gradient neural network algorithm Hung, 1993, 1994;Adeli and Samant, 2000), recurrent NN (Samant and Adeli, 2001;Puscasu et al, 2009), radial basis function NN (RBNN) (Adeli and Karim, 2000;Adeli, 2002, 2003;Ghosh-Dastidar et al, 2008;Savitha et al, 2009), wavelet NN (Ghosh-Dastidar andAdeli and Jiang, 2006;Zou et al, 2008), spiking NN (Ghosh-Dastidar andAdeli, 2007;Rossello et al, 2009;Ghosh-Dastidar and Adeli, 2009a,b), neural dynamics models Park, 1995b,c, 1996;Adeli, 1995, 1997;Adeli and Karim, 1997a,b;Karim and Adeli, 1999;Adeli and Kim, 2001;Tashakori and Adeli, 2002;Ahmadkhanlou and Adeli, 2005), neuro-genetic models (Jiang and Adeli, 2008;Elragal, 2009), and the probabilistic neural network (PNN) (Specht, 1990). PNN is often used for classification purposes (Adeli and Panakkat, 2009).…”

Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Uniaxial Loading

“…Ahmadkhanlou and Adeli proposed an optimization method with two stages for optimization of RC slab. The neural dynamics model [11,12] for the optimum solution of continuous variables and perturbation technique modify the values to practical ones were used in the optimization method [13]. Barros et al developed expressions for the bending moment, steel area and ratio for singly or doubly RC beams for optimum design [14].…”
