A neural network‐based automated methodology to identify the crack causes in masonry structures
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 39, Issue 24, Page 3769-3785, 15 December 2024.Abstract Most masonry constructions exhibit significant crack patterns caused by differential foundation settlements. While modern numerical methods effectively address forward displacement‐based problems, identifying the settlement causing a specific crack pattern remains an unsolved yet crucial challenge. For the first time, this research solves this
