Abstract

This study explores the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for predicting the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings and bridges. The study aims to develop and validate ANN models to enhance the seismic assessment of structural integrity, focusing on both the structural response and energy demand under seismic and multi-hazard conditions. Two ANN models are developed using datasets obtained from existing literature. The ANN models are trained and validated using MATLAB software, employing a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) architecture. The models are evaluated using performance metrics such as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and the Coefficient of Determination (R2), which demonstrate high predictive accuracy. The results show that the ANN models can accurately predict structural responses and energy demands with minimal error, making them effective tools for seismic performance evaluation. Pearson correlation analysis further reveals the relationships between input parameters, providing valuable insights into factors influencing the seismic behavior of the structures. The study highlights the potential of AI-based models to streamline the seismic assessment process, reduce computational costs, and improve the accuracy of predictions for RC structures subjected to seismic and blast forces.
