Worldwide, high rise construction is recent trend in the building development. Steel has many advantages which includes flexible framing system, assembling, less weight to height ratio, availability and it doesn’t harm environment. That’s reason steel been mostly used material buildings. Previously gravity load was considered as an important factor design. With demand of buildings now seismic f...

In this paper, load-carrying capacity in steel shear wall (SSW) was estimated using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The SSW parameters including load-carrying capacity (as ANN’s target), plate thickness, thickness of stiffener, diagonal stiffener distance, horizontal stiffener distance and gravity load (as ANN’s inputs) are used in this paper to train the ANNs. 144 samples data of each of th...
