Abstract:For structures and load-bearing beams under extreme impact loading, the prediction of the transmitted peak impact force is the most challenging task. Available numerical and soft computing-based methods for finding peak impact force are not very accurate. Therefore, a simple and user-friendly predictive model is constructed from a database containing 126 impact force experiments of the simply supported RC beams. The proposed model is developed using gene expression programming (GEP) that includes the effect of… Show more
