    Abstract

    The application of neural networks to cold-formed steel design is considered. Cold-formed steel design is more complex than hot-rolled steel design because of the large number of different section profiles, and traditional computing tools are not well-suited for dealing with this. The flexibility of neural networks makes them a suitable alternative. The paper describes the use of neural networks to predict the failure load of cold-formed sections, and the results are in good agreement with results from design codes.
