In this paper a new view for the analytical formulation of the torsional ultimate strength for reinforced concrete (RC) beams by experimental data is explored by using a new hybrid regression method termed Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR). EPR combines the best features of conventional numerical regression techniques with the effectiveness of genetic programming for constructing symbolic expressions of regression models. The efficiency of such approach is tested using experimental data of sixty-four rectangular RC beams reported in the technical literature. The procedure output provides different formulae to predict the torsional strength of RC beams, characterized by different complexity and accuracy. ©Civil-Comp Press, 2011.

Abstract
In this paper a new view for the analytical formulation of the torsional ultimate strength for reinforced concrete (RC) beams by experimental data is explored by using a new hybrid regression method termed Evolutionary Polynomial Regression (EPR). EPR combines the best features of conventional numerical regression techniques with the effectiveness of genetic programming for constructing symbolic expressions of regression models. The efficiency of such approach is tested using experimental data of sixty-four rectangular RC beams reported in the technical literature. The procedure output provides different formulae to predict the torsional strength of RC beams, characterized by different complexity and accuracy. ©Civil-Comp Press, 2011.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
