In this study, we developed an ANFIS-GA-PSO hybrid model for predicting the shear
strength of concrete beams. Predicting the shear strength of concrete beams before …

Abstract Introduction The Human Development Index (HDI), as one of the more complex
composite indicators of the level of human potential and quality of life, is a combination of …

Compressive strength of concrete is one of the most determinant parameters in the design of
engineering structures. This parameter is generally determined by conducting several tests …

During this anthropocentric period, sustainable energy supply and climate changing could
be a main source of problem for human being. Scientists believe that the ratio of climate …

Mineral admixtures have been widely used to produce concrete. Pozzolans have been
utilized as partially replacement for Portland cement or blended cement in concrete based …

Abstract Steel-Concrete Composite floor systems are one of the essential components in the
construction industry. Recent studies have shown that fire-induced problems damage shear …

This research presents a numerical investigation on the dynamic information of the
axisymmetric sandwich annular sector plate via a higher-order continuum elasticity theory …

For wind energy conversion systems (WECS), forecasting wind speed is crucial for meeting
customer demands while monitoring, controlling, planning, and dispatching the electricity …

A developed comparative analysis of metaheuristic optimization algorithms has been used
for optimal active control of structures. The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) has ignored the …

Shear connectors play a prominent role in the design of steel-concrete composite systems.
The behavior of shear connectors is generally determined through conducting push-out …
