Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has found wide application in solving many problems in engineering and also in construction, where its application is primarily reflected in faster and simpler solving of calculation problems. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), as a method of artificial intelligence, are applied in the problems of construction design, management when making decisions, data analysis, design, optimization and prediction of construction responses. In the design phase of masonry structures, one of the main tasks is to adequately define the mechanical characteristics of the wall as a basis for quality design. The aim of this paper is to present and analyze the scientific results of the application of ANN in the determination of some of the mechanical characteristics of the walls in masonry constructions.
