E – 3109 Generative AI for Structural System Selection
$50.00
Courses Included
This professional development course introduces structural engineers to the transformative applications of generative artificial intelligence for structural system selection. Participants will learn how machine learning algorithms and evolutionary optimization can systematically evaluate thousands of design alternatives, identify optimal structural solutions balancing multiple competing objectives, and enhance design quality while improving project economics and sustainability performance.
The course examines fundamental structural systems including gravity and lateral force-resisting systems, explains the algorithmic foundations of generative AI including genetic algorithms and neural networks, and provides practical guidance on integrating these tools into structural engineering workflows. Engineers will understand both the capabilities and limitations of AI-assisted design, enabling responsible deployment while maintaining professional judgment and quality assurance essential for structural engineering practice.
