Abstract: Direct shear failure in reinforced concrete slabs under impulsive loads is relatively undocumented because of the paucity of data showing failure characteristics. The combined effects of beam action and wave action are ...

Abstract: Recent experimental evidence shows that the roof elements of reinforced concrete box‐like structures fail in a direct shear mode when subjected to transverse, uniformly distributed, near impulsive pressures. These failures ...

Abstract: A genetic-fuzzy learning from examples (GFLFE) approach is presented for determining fuzzy rule bases generated from input/output data sets. The method is less computationally intensive than existing fuzzy rule base learning ...
