description In the past decade, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely employed to address many problems. Despite their powerful problem-solving capabilities, ANNs are susceptible to a significant risk of stagnation in local minima due to using backpropagation algorithms based on gradient descent (GD) for optimal solution searching. In this paper, we introduce an enhanced version of the reptile search algorithm (IRSA), which operates in conjunction with an ANN to mitigate these limitations. By substituting GD with IRSA within an ANN, the network gains the ability to escape local minima, leading to improved prediction outcomes. To demonstrate the efficacy of IRSA in enhancing ANN’s performance, a numerical model of the Nam O Bridge is utilized. This model is updated to closely reflect actual structural conditions. Consequently, damage scenarios for single-element and multielement damage within the bridge structure are developed. The results confirm that ANNIRSA offers greater accuracy than traditional ANNs and ANNRSAs in predicting structural damage.
