For connection engineers

Compare connection alternatives using the same input definitions.

01 / INPUT

Set the engineering case

End-plate dimensions, bolt diameter and spacing, and beam/column second moments of area

02 / OUTPUT

Validation evidence

Credited interface source, model comparisons and published research.

Current scope

Prediction is bounded by the reference-data domain; independent resistance checks remain necessary.

Public deployment has not been verified. The supplied interface and source establish the implementation shown.

Engineering record

Scope, method and evidence.

Personally credited GUI and published collaborative study. Dataset ownership and model-performance domains remain distinct from application development.

01Engineering question

Compare connection alternatives using the same input definitions.

Context: Structural steel.

02Role and documented scope

Research co-author · credited developer

03Methods and evidence

The research compares regression models for stainless-steel web-panel shear and uses SHAP to examine prediction behaviour. The personally credited interface exposes engineering features to a trained model. Reference-data generation and application development retain separate attribution.

Supplied research files support the scope shown. Authorship is distinguished from personal ownership of every dataset, test or model; an interface is not proof of current deployment.

04Interpretation and limitations

No universal accuracy, engineering approval or field benefit is inferred from a selected output. Model domains and independent checks must be established for a new assignment.
