以径向基函数类神经网络预测承受纯扭力钢筋混凝土梁之扭力强度 汤兆纬1 颜 聪2 1正修科技大学土木系副教授 2国立中兴大学土木工程系教授 关键词：钢筋混凝土梁，扭力强度，径向基函数网络。 摘要 除了挠曲力、剪力、轴向压力与拉力之外，扭力也是结构上一种基本的作用力。混凝土构件的扭力破坏是因其拉应力超过允许值所造成，而拉应力则系由扭力所引致的纯剪力受力状态。因此，扭力强度为混凝土的一种重要力学性质，在各建筑与桥梁设计规范中均须纳入考虑。然而，混凝土于扭力作用下的非线性行为相当复杂，其数理模式不易建立。有鉴于现今实验数据搜集的便利及数据分析技术的改善，研发容易、方便使用且准确的混凝土扭力强度预测方法将是一件有意义的事。本文首先搜集承受纯扭力作用之矩形断面钢筋混凝土梁扭力强度数据，以免除繁复的试验工作；其次，建构径向基函数网络（radial basis function networks，简称RBFN），以预测含腹筋钢筋混凝土梁的极限扭力强度，并将所建构RBFN评估模式之预测值与现有钢筋混凝土梁扭力分析模式之预测值作比较。研究结果显示，应用RBFN可有效预测含腹筋钢筋混凝土梁的扭力强度，且其预测值的准确性也比既有经验公式来得精确。 MODELING TORSIONAL STRENGTH OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS SUBJECTED TO PURE TORSION USING RADIAL BASIS FUNCTION NEURAL NETWORKS Chao-Wei Tang1 Tsong Yen2 1Department of Civil Engineering, Cheng-Shiu University, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2Department of Civil Engineering, National Chung-Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C. Key Words: reinforced concrete beam; torsional strength; radial basis function network. ABSTRACT Besides flexure, shear and axial compression/tension, torsion also forms one of the basic structural actions. Torsional failure of concrete members is initiated by the tensile stress developed due to a state of pure shear, which arises due to torsion. Therefore, torsional strength is one of the critical concrete mechanical properties that are indispensably used in different building and bridge design codes. However, the nonlinear behavior of concrete under torsion is very complicated; modeling its behavior is a hard task. Thus, it would be of interest to develop new methods that are easier, convenient, and accurate than the existing methods in light of the availability of more experimental data and recent advance in the area of data analysis techniques. In this study, a database on torsional failure of RC beams with rectangular section subjected to pure torsion was retrieved from the existing literature for analysis instead of the practical and experimental data.
