The use of periodical elliptically-based web (EBW) openings in high strength steel (HSS) beams has been increasingly popular recent years mainly because the strength-to-weight ratio and reduction floor height as a result allowing different utility services to pass through openings. However, these sections are susceptible web-post buckling (WPB) failure mode therefore it is imperative that an accurate design tool made available for prediction capacity. Therefore, present paper aims implement...
The use of circular hollow sections (CHS) have seen a large increase in usage recent years mainly because the distinctive mechanical properties and unique aesthetic appearance. focus this paper is behaviour cold-rolled CHS beam-columns made from normal high strength steel, aiming to propose design formula for predicting ultimate cross-sectional load carrying capacity, employing machine learning. A finite element model developed validated conduct an extensive parametric study with total 3410...
Stainless steel has many advantages when used in structures, however, the initial cost is high. Hence, it essential to develop reliable and accurate design methods that can optimize material. As novel, soft computation methods, machine learning provided more predictions than analytical formulae solved highly complex problems. The present study aims models predict cross-section resistance of circular hollow section stainless stub column. A parametric conducted by varying diameter, thickness,...
This paper aims to propose an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model that predicts accurately web-post buckling resistance and failure mode of steel beams with elliptically-based openings. A total 4,344 5,400 geometrical models, were developed by finite element method (FEM) used train, validate test the ANN for classification, respectively. It was concluded five neurons sufficient predict high level accuracy. The height web thickness had positive impact capacity while openings height, width...
Industrialization of construction makes building operation more environmental friendly and sustainable. This change is necessary as it an industry that demands large consumption water energy, well being responsible for the disposal a high volume waste. However, transformation sector big challenge worldwide. It also known largest proportion material used in multistory buildings, thus its carbon impact, attributed to their slabs main contributor weight. Steel-Concrete composite beams with...
Cellular steel beams are primarily used to accommodate electrical and mechanical services within their structural depth, helping reduce the floor-to-ceiling height in buildings. These often tapered for various reasons, such as connecting members (e.g., beams) of different depths, adjusting stiffness specific areas, or enhancing architectural design. This paper presents an algorithm developed using MATLAB R2019a artificial neural network (ANN) predict deflection cellular beams. The approach...
In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in utilization of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials as reinforcing elements concrete structures due to their excellent properties. Unlike traditional steel rebars, FRP rebars do not rust, which helps prevent degradation and deterioration structure over time. This growth resulted rise application design regulations for FRP-reinforced (RC) members. There are currently no European standards that offer suggestions about RC...
