Abstract
This study predicts the shear strength of rectangular hollow reinforced concrete (RC) columns using artificial neural network (ANN). A total of 120 experimental results are collected from literature and used for establishing the machine learning model. The results reveal that the proposed ANN model predicts the shear strength of rectangular hollow RC columns accurately with \({R}^{2}\) of 0.99. Additionally, the relative importance of input parameters on the calculated shear strength of RC columns is evaluated using Shapley value. Based on the ANN model, a graphical user interface tool is also developed and readily used in predicting the shear strength of rectangular hollow RC columns.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Journal of Civil Engineering (Building and Housing) welcomes articles and research contributions on topics such as:- Structural analysis and design - Earthquake and structural engineering - New building materials and concrete technology - Sustainable building and energy conservation - Housing and planning - Construction management - Optimal design of structuresPlease note that the journal will not accept papers in the area of hydraulic or geotechnical engineering, traffic/transportation or road making engineering, and on materials relevant to non-structural buildings, e.g. materials for road making and asphalt. Although the journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental research works and advanced applications, it may also feature, when appropriate: a) tutorial survey type papers reviewing some fields of civil engineering; b) short communications and research notes; c) book reviews and conference announcements.
