✦ Synopsis

The objective of this study is to investigate the adequacy of neural networks (NN) as a quicker, more secure and more robust method to determine the shear strength of circular reinforced concrete columns. In the application of the NN model, a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with a back-propagation (BP) algorithm is employed using a scaled conjugate gradient. NN model is developed, trained and tested through a based MATLAB program. The data used for training and testing NN model are gathered from literature. NN based model outputs are compared with ACI, ATC-32, ASCE and CALTRANS codes outcomes on the basis of the experimental results. This comparison demonstrated that the NN based model is highly successful to determine the shear strength of circular reinforced concrete columns.

The paper reporting the study by the authors considers the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements. Because of some paradoxes in the results, the proposed ANN model has almost no reliability. Th
