TY - JOUR AU - Nakamura, Ming AU - Ahmed, Deepak AU - Chowdhury, Li TI - Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Girders using Support Vector Machines JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2001 VL - 25 IS - 1 SP - 553 EP - 569 AB - Population pressure on scarce resources makes the optimisation of high-voltage transmission systems a matter of national importance. Model parameters are calibrated against field observations using support vector machines. The optimised configuration improved overall efficiency by roughly 41% compared with the base case. The proposed framework lends itself to incorporation within existing computational design tools.
