The dynamic analysis of structures is a computationally intensive procedure that must be considered, in order to make accurate seismic performance assessments in civil and structural engineering applications. To avoid these computationally demanding tasks, simplified methods are often used by engineers in practice, to estimate the behavior of complex structures under dynamic loading. This paper presents an assessment of several machine learning (ML) algorithms, with different characteristics, that aim to predict the dynamic analysis response of multi-story buildings. Large datasets of dynamic response analyses results were generated through standard sampling methods and conventional response spectrum modal analysis procedures. In an effort to obtain the best algorithm performance, an extensive hyper-parameter search was elaborated, followed by the corresponding feature importance. The ML model which exhibited the best performance was deployed in a web application, with the aim of providing predictions of the dynamic responses of multi-story buildings, according to their characteristics.
