This paper presents a damage detection algorithm using a combination of global (changes in natural frequencies) and local (curvature mode shapes) vibration-based analysis data as input in artificial neural networks (ANNs) for location and severity prediction of damage in beam-like structures. A finite element analysis tool has been used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of intact and damaged cantilever steel beams for the first three natural modes. Different damage scenarios have been introduced by reducing the local thickness of the selected elements at different locations along finite element model (FEM) of the beam structure. The necessary features for damage detection have been selected by performing sensitivity analyses and different input-output sets have been introduced to various ANNs. In order to check the robustness of the input used in the analysis and to simulate the experimental uncertainties, artificial random noise has been generated numerically and added to noise-free data during the training of the ANNs. In the experimental analysis, two steel beams with eight distributed surface-bonded electrical strain gauges and an accelerometer mounted at the tip have been used to obtain modal parameters such as resonant frequencies and strain mode shapes. Finally, trained feed-forward backpropagation ANNs have been tested using the data obtained from the experimental damage case for quantification and localisation of the damage.

Optimal load and resistance factor design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames via tabu search and genetic algorithm DEĞERTEKİN, SADIK ÖZGÜR; Saka, M. P.; HAYALİOĞLU, MEHMET SEDAT (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) In this paper, algorithms are presented for the optimum design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames using tabu search and genetic algorithm. Tabu search utilizes the features of short-term memory facility (tabu list) and aspiration criteria. Genetic algorithm employs reproduction, crossover and mutation operators. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange...
Predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams using artificial neural networks Mansour, MY; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, JY; Zhang, J (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-01) The application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements is investigated in this paper. An ANN model is built, trained and tested using the available test data of 176 RC beams collected from the technical literature. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of nine input parameters that cover the cylinder concrete compressive strength, yield strength of the longitudinal and transverse reinforc...
Nonlinear analysis of R/C low-rise shear walls Mansour, Mohamad Y.; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, Jung Yoon (SAGE Publications, 2004-08-01) An analysis method for predicting the response of low-rise shear walls under both monotonic and cyclic loading is presented in this paper. The proposed analysis method is based on the softened truss model theory but utilizes newly proposed cyclic constitutive relationships for concrete and steel bars obtained from cyclic shear testing. The successfulness of the analysis method, when combined with new materials constitutive relationships, is checked against the test results of 33 low-rise shear walls reporte...
Empirical ground-motion models for point- and extended-source crustal earthquake scenarios in Europe and the Middle East Akkar, S.; Sandikkaya, M. A.; Bommer, J. J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-02-01) This article presents the latest generation of ground-motion models for the prediction of elastic response (pseudo-) spectral accelerations, as well as peak ground acceleration and velocity, derived using pan-European databases. The models present a number of novelties with respect to previous generations of models (Ambraseys et al. in Earthq Eng Struct Dyn 25:371-400, 1996, Bull Earthq Eng 3:1-53, 2005; Bommer et al. in Bull Earthq Eng 1:171-203, 2003; Akkar and Bommer in Seismol Res Lett 81:195-206, 2010)...
Investigation of relationship between aggregate shape parameters and concrete strength using imaging techniques Özen, Murat; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In this study, relationships between aggregate shape parameters and compressive strength of concrete were investigated using digital image processing and analysis methods. The study was conducted based on three mix design parameters, gradation type, aggregate type and maximum aggregate size, at two levels. A total of 40 cubic concrete specimens were prepared at a constant water-cement ratio. After the compressive strength tests were performed, each specimen was cut into 4 equal pieces in order to obtain the...
