Machine learning-based seismic response and performance assessment of reinforced concrete buildings

F. Kazemi et al.

Summary: This research aims to propose a prediction model for seismic response and performance assessment of Reinforced Concrete Moment-Resisting Frames (RC MRFs) using well-known Machine Learning (ML) methods in Python software. The results show that improved algorithms can estimate the seismic limit-state capacity and performance assessment of existing or newly constructed RC buildings. A graphical user interface is introduced as a user-friendly tool to reduce computational cost and analytical efforts.
