Making a Case for Hybrid GFRP-Steel Reinforcement System in Concrete Beams: An Overview

A Hybrid System with Regression Trees in Steel-Making Process

The paper presents a hybrid regresseion model with the main emphasis put on the regression tree unit. It discusses input and output variable transformation, determining the final decision of hybrid models and node split optimization of regression trees. Because of the ability to generate logical rules, a regression tree maybe the preferred module if it produces comparable results to other modul...

Prediction of effective moment of inertia for hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete beams using the genetic algorithm

Abstract:   The use of Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel bars has increased dramatically in recent years, due to improvement in strength and flexural ductility simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed a new equation for estimating the effective moment of inertia of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams on the basis of the...

Modeling of Reinforcement in Concrete Beams Using Machine Learning Tools

The paper discusses the results obtained to predict reinforcement in singly reinforced beam using Neural Net (NN), Support Vector Machines (SVM’s) and Tree Based Models. Major advantage of SVM’s over NN is of minimizing a bound on the generalization error of model rather than minimizing a bound on mean square error over the data set as done in NN. Tree Based approach divides the problem into a ...
