Abstract
The design and sustainability of reinforced concrete deep beam are still the main issues in the sector of structural engineering despite the existence of modern advancements in this area. Proper understanding of shear stress characteristics can assist in providing safer design and prevent failure in deep beams which consequently lead to saving lives and properties. In this investigation, a new intelligent model depending on the hybridization of support vector regression with bio-inspired optimization approach called genetic algorithm (SVR-GA) is employed to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams based on dimensional, mechanical and material parameters properties. The adopted SVR-GA modelling approach is validated against three different well established artificial intelligent (AI) models, including classical SVR, artificial neural network (ANN) and gradient boosted decision trees (GBDTs). The comparison assessments provide a clear impression of the superior capability of the proposed SVR-GA model in the prediction of shear strength capability of simply supported deep beams. The simulated results gained by SVR-GA model are very close to the experimental ones. In quantitative results, the coefficient of determination (R2) during the testing phase (R2 = 0.95), whereas the other comparable models generated relatively lower values of R2 ranging from 0.884 to 0.941. All in all, the proposed SVR-GA model showed an applicable and robust computer aid technology for modelling RC deep beam shear strength that contributes to the base knowledge of material and structural engineering perspective.
