Abstract
This study presents Genetic programming (GP) as a new tool for the formulation of web crippling strength of cold-formed steel decks for various loading cases. There is no well established analytical solution of the problem due to complex plastic behaviour. The objective of this study is to provide an alternative robust formulation to related design codes and to verify the robustness of GP for the formulation of such structural engineering problems. The training and testing patterns of the proposed GP formulation are based on well established experimental results from the literature. The GP based formulation results are compared with experimental results and current design codes and found to be more accurate.
