Effects of tensile reinforcement ratio and compressive strength on the behaviour of over-reinforced helically confined HSC beams

The technology of high strength concrete has improved over the last decade. High strength concrete (HSC) is more brittle than normal strength concrete. The brittleness increases with the use of over-reinforced section, which fails suddenly without warning. Use of over reinforced sections is restricted in codes of practice of concrete design. This paper presents an experimental study of the behaviour of five HSC beams confined with helical reinforcement. Concrete compressive strength in the range 72–95 MPa and tensile reinforcement ratio in the range 5.24–7.86% were used. The main results indicate that as the concrete compressive strength increases the displacement ductility index decreases and the load at spalling-off the concrete cover increases. Also, the displacement ductility index increases as the longitudinal reinforcement ratio increases and the load at spalling-off the concrete cover decreases.     

影响ETM影像土地利用/覆盖分类精度因素的研究

训练样本量、辅助数据和分类法是影响土地利用/覆盖分类精度的3个主要因素,通过找到这3个因素的最佳组合方式以提高分类精度,分别在25%、50%、75%、100%样本量下,加入NDVI、DEM和纹理均值特征作为辅助数据,比较了分类回归树、支持向量机、最大似然法3种分类法的效果,探讨了训练样本、辅助数据以及分类技术对土地利用/覆盖分类精度的影响。结果表明：支持向量机总体分类精度较高,在相同样本量和没有有效辅助数据的情况下,SVM可以获得最佳的分类结果,总体分类精度在85%以上;在进行分类时,加入NDVI和纹理均值特征使分类回归树分类精度提高了2.82%,说明该方法对有效辅助数据的加入较为敏感;在获取的训练样本集有限而可获取有效的辅助数据时,应优先考虑利用分类回归树进行土地利用/覆盖分类。

Predicting the blast-induced vibration velocity using a bagged support vector regression optimized with firefly algorithm

Ground vibration is the most detrimental effect induced by blasting in surface mines. This study presents an improved bagged support vector regression (BSVR) combined with the firefly algorithm (FA) to predict ground vibration. In other words, the FA was used to modify the weights of the SVR model. To verify the validity of the BSVR–FA, the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and radial basis function network (RBFN) were also applied. The BSVR–FA, BPNN and RBFN models were constructed using a comprehensive database collected from Shur River dam region, in Iran. The proposed models were then evaluated by means of several statistical indicators such as root mean square error (RMSE) and symmetric mean absolute percentage error. Comparing the results, the BSVR–FA model was found to be the most accurate to predict ground vibration in comparison to the BPNN and RBFN models. This study indicates the successful application of the BSVR–FA model as a suitable and effective tool for the prediction of ground vibration.

     

GA-SVR: a novel hybrid data-driven model to simulate vertical load capacity of driven piles

Piles are widely applied to substructures of various infrastructural buildings. Soil has a complex nature; thus, a variety of empirical models have been proposed for the prediction of the bearing capacity of piles. The aim of this study is to propose a novel artificial intelligent approach to predict vertical load capacity of driven piles in cohesionless soils using support vector regression (SVR) optimized by genetic algorithm (GA). To the best of our knowledge, no research has been developed the GA-SVR model to predict vertical load capacity of driven piles in different timescales as of yet, and the novelty of this study is to develop a new hybrid intelligent approach in this field. To investigate the efficacy of GA-SVR model, two other models, i.e., SVR and linear regression models, are also used for a comparative study. According to the obtained results, GA-SVR model clearly outperformed the SVR and linear regression models by achieving less root mean square error (RMSE) and higher coefficient of determination (R²). In other words, GA-SVR with RMSE of 0.017 and R² of 0.980 has higher performance than SVR with RMSE of 0.035 and R² of 0.912, and linear regression model with RMSE of 0.079 and R² of 0.625.

基于连续时间的二阶多智能体分布式资源分配算法

针对二阶多智能体系统中的分布式资源分配问题, 本文设计两种连续时间算法. 基于KKT (Karush?Kuhn?Tucker, 卡罗需?库恩?塔克)优化条件, 第一种控制算法利用节点局部不等式及其梯度信息来约束节点状态. 与上述梯度方法不同, 第二种控制算法包括一致性梯度下降法和固定时间收敛映射算子, 其中固定时间收敛映射算子确保算法的节点状态在固定时间收敛到局部约束集, 一致性梯度下降法目的是确保节点迭代到资源分配问题最优解. 两种控制算法都对状态无初始值约束, 且控制参数都是常数. 利用凸优化理论和固定时间李雅普诺夫方法, 分别分析了上述控制策略在有向平衡网络条件下的渐近和指数收敛性. 最后通过数值仿真验证了所设计算法在一维和高维资源分配问题的有效性.
