Traditional analysis methods used in Structural Engineering are reliable and can be successfully applied by solving several numerical equations. Another alternative analytical modeling method is Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), which capture the numerical equations between its nodes and no formal formula is observable within the network generation. ANN system is an acceptable method in predicting experimental results. In this book, FBNN and GRNN are generated to predict the load-deflection analysis in the one-way non-strengthened and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthened RC...

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a method to evaluate the outputs of complex elements to any external loading by dividing the complex elements into lots of smaller and simpler elements. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is another alternative analytical modeling method, which capture the numerical equations between its nodes and no formal formula is observable within the network generation. The key objective of this book is to analyze Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthened RC one-way slab using FEA and ANN. The experimental work involves the evaluation of load- deflection...
