Shear strength estimation of the concrete beams reinforced with FRP; comparison of artificial neural network and equations of regulations

In recent years, numerous experimental tests were done on the concrete beams reinforced with the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). In this way, some equations were proposed to estimate the shear strength of the beams reinforced with FRP. The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of using a f...
