- MakaleAçık Erişim2023Shear strength estimations and shear designs on RC beams with limited ductility by FL and FIL methods; [BM ve BTM yöntemleri ile sınırlı sünekliğe sahip betonarme kirişlerde kesme dayanımı tahmini ve kesme tasarımı]
Öztekin, Ertekin
In this study, a fuzzy logic model was constituted by using the Fuzzy Logic (FL) method, which is one of the traditional artificial intelligence (AI) methods, in order to estimate the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with limited ductility. In this model, beam width(bw), beam height(h), characteristic concrete compressive strength(fck), transverse reinforcement diameter(ØT), the number of arms bearing the shear force of the transverse reinforcement(n) and transverse reinforcement spacing(s) were taken into account as variable parameters. The model developed by using the problem data containing the solutions of shear force strength of 2640 beams with different cross-section properties were tested with 480 beam solutions different from these data. In the tests of the developed FL model, maximum percentage error, minimum percentage error, average percentage error and correlation coefficient values were obtained as 3.604,-0.091, 1.514 and R2=0.999678. By applying the fuzzy inverse logic method (FIL), which was recently developed by the author of this study, on the FL model, which is seen to have been developed quite sensitively from the test results, a total of 521 designs were obtained for 15 different RC beams with limited ductility subjected to shear. In order to check the accuracy of these designs, after shear strengths were obtained by conventional computations for these designs, % error and correlation coefficients were computed between the obtained strength values and the shear force values taken into account for the design. The promising results show that the FIL method can be used in the design of RC beams under shear force and even in other scientific studies such as design, optimization and control.

Zandi, Yousef; Burnaz, Oguz; Durmus, Ahmet
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete beams under standard fire conditions. With this purpose, the 2-D nonlinear structural analysis of a chosen reinforced concrete simple beam is carried out. This beam is exposed to fire form three sides and fixed distributed loads on top of it. In these structural analyses the changes of material properties of concrete and reinforcements according to increasing temperatures are taken into account. Results drawn from these analyses are compared with the results from some simplified methods and put forward some conclusions and recommendations concerning the fire design of reinforced concrete beams.
