• Design of Reinforced Concrete Isolated Footings Under Axial Loading with Artificial Neural Networks 

      Ramirez, German Solorzano; Plevris, Vagelis (EUROGEN;Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Evolutionary and Deterministic Methods For Design, Optimization and Control, Conference object, 2021)
      In engineering practice, the design of structural elements is a repetitive task that has proven to be difficult to fully automate. This is mainly because of the complex relations of the design variables and the multiple ...
    • Optimum Design of RC Footings with Genetic Algorithms According to ACI 318-19 

      Ramirez, German Solorzano; Plevris, Vagelis (Buildings;Volume 10, Issue 6, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-11)
      Engineers usually use trial-and-error approaches for dealing with design problems where they need to find the most economical design of a structural element in terms of its material cost while satisfying all the safety ...
