Although the importance of seismic-resistant buildings is well understood it has been found that the current design code formulae, which are used to predict the fundamental period of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are quite simplistic, failing to accurately predict the natural frequency, raising many concerns with regards to their reliability. The primary objective of this research project was to develop a formula that has the ability to compute the fundamental period of an RC structure, while taking into account the soil-structure interaction phenomenon. This was achieved by using a computationally efficient and robust 3D detailed modelling approach for modal analysis obtaining the numerically predicted fundamental period of 475 models, producing a dataset with numerical results. This dataset was then used to train a machine learning algorithm to formulate three fundamental period formulae using a higher-order, nonlinear regression modelling framework. The three newly proposed formulae were evaluated during the validation phase to investigate their performance using 60 new out-of-sample modal results, where, in this work, additional validation models are created and used to test the predictive abilities of the proposed fundamental period formulae. The findings of this research report suggest that the proposed fundamental period formulae exhibit exceptional predictive capabilities for the under-study RC multi-storey buildings, where they outperform all existing de-sign code fundamental period formulae currently in effect. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/33035 | ISSN: | 26233347 | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | University of Pretoria National Technical University Of Athens |
