  Application of Artificial Neural Networks to the prediction of out-of-plane response of infill walls subjected to shake table

  Onat, Onur; Gul, Muhammet

  The main purpose of this paper is to predict missing absolute out-of-plane displacements and failure limits of infill walls by artificial neural network (ANN) models. For this purpose, two shake table experiments are performed. These experiments are conducted on a 1:1 scale one-bay one-story reinforced concrete frame (RCF) with an infill wall. One of the experimental models is composed of unreinforced brick model (URB) enclosures with an RCF and other is composed of an infill wall with bed joint reinforcement (BJR) enclosures with an RCF. An artificial earthquake load is applied with four acceleration levels to the URB model and with five acceleration levels to the BJR model. After a certain acceleration level, the accelerometers are detached from the wall to prevent damage to them. The removal of these instruments results in missing data. The missing absolute maximum out-of-plane displacements are predicted with ANN models. Failure of the infill wall in the out-of-plane direction is also predicted at the 0.79g acceleration level. An accuracy of 99% is obtained for the available data. In addition, a benchmark analysis with multiple regressionis performed. This study validates that the ANN-based procedure estimates missing experimental data more accurately than multiple regression models.
