Predicting Shear Capacity of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups by Artificial Neural Networks, Gene Expression Programming, and Regression Analysis by Ghazi Bahroz Jumaa, Ali Ramadhan Yousif

“…The ANNs model, and to a lower level the GEP model, showed the superiority in accuracy and efficiency, while the NLR model showed that it is simple, rational, and yet accurate. Additionally, the parametric study indicated that the ANNs model defines accurately the interaction of all parameters on shear capacity prediction and have a great ability to predict the actual response of each parameter in spite of its complexity and fluctuation nature.…”
