The structural analysis and design of multi-story residential buildings have become more complex
because cities continue to grow while safety requirements become more demanding and building codes
establish stricter requirements. The traditional methods of structural analysis worked through manual
execution which required extended periods to complete and suffered from computational errors that
primarily affected indeterminate structures and lateral loading conditions.

Artificial Intelligence refers to the capacity of a machine or a computer to ‘think’ or reason in the
way a human would, utilizing experience, learned facts, and flexible rules to solve problems which
may not fit the standard outlines for a normal algorithm. From this follows the utilization of AI in
various sectors, such as the IT industry, media, healthcare and medicine, logistics, environmental
sustainability, finance, Business and even judicial systems.

Construction and demolition waste, especially ceramic and concrete debris, is a byproduct that has
been increasingly amassed over time and causes environmental pollutants. Valorising these wastes as
raw materials to produce sustainable construction materials represents an alternative option to
minimise waste, conserve resources and reduce CO2 emissions.

This study investigates the influence of variations in beam geometry, span, load intensity, and
permissible stresses on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Using classical bending
and shear stress formulations, the effects of a 20% increase in key parameters were analytically
evaluated. Results indicate that a 20% increase in beam span leads to a proportional 20% increase in
beam depth, whereas a 20% increase in beam width or permissible compressive stress in bending
results in an 8.68% reduction in beam depth.
