Abstract:

Investigating the behavior of the box-shaped column panel zone has been one of the major concerns of scientists in the field.  In the American Institute of Steel Construction the shear capacity of I-shaped cross- sections with low column thickness is calculated. This paper determines the shear capacity of panel zone in steel columns with box-shaped cross-sections by using artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). It also compares ABAQUS finite element software outputs and AISC relations. Therefore, neural networks were trained using parametric information obtained from 510 connection models in ABAQUS software. The results show that the predicted shear capacity of the NN and the GA in comparison with the AISC relations use a wide range of all effective parameters in the calculation of the shear capacity of panel zone. Therefore, the use of artificial intelligence can be a good choice. Finally, the GA, along with optimization of a mathematical relation, has been able to minimize the error in determining the shear capacity of panel zones of steel-based columns, even at high column thicknesses.

Predicting air pollution in Tehran: Genetic algorithm and back propagation neural network

Suspended particles have deleterious effects on human health and one of the reasons why Tehran is effected is its geographically location of air pollution. One of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to predict the concentration of pollutants. This paper proposed a hybrid method to predict the air pollution in Tehran based on particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), and the...
