    Abstract

    A report on the design of cold-formed steel sections using neural networks was presented. The design criteria were limited to minimum weight. The input parameters consisted of the wall thickness, design load, and required length. All dedicated networks were created for the three profile types. The training set available for the plain section was limited which resulted in a less accurate network.
