Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on developing correction factors for punching shear formulas in ACI-318 and EC2 design codes to better assess the punching capacity of post-tensioned ultra-high-performance concrete (PT-UHPC) flat slabs.
- A validated finite element method (FEM) model was utilized to conduct a parametric study, generating two databases that included various parameters influencing punching shear capacity and the corresponding correction factors for both design codes.
- The study also applied machine learning techniques like Genetic Programming, Artificial Neural Networks, and Evolutionary Polynomial Regression to predict these correction factors, finding that each model achieved an accuracy of about 96%.
