Energy absorption evaluation of reinforced concrete beams under various loading rates based on particle swarm optimization technique

This study proposes an energy absorption model for predicting the effect of loading rates, concrete compressive strength, shear span-to-depth ratio, and longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratio of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. This techn...
