Assessment of punching load of hsc : a fuzzy logic approach

الملخص EN

Fuzzy logic approach is applied to the problem of High Strength Concrete (HSC) punching failure.

A comprehensive survey of the published literature concerning punching shear strength of high-strength slabs is carried out, to obtain an experimental data base of various tests and parameters affecting punching of High Strength Concrete.

Collecting the experimental data base, the fuzzy logic is applied to obtain the punching capacity.

The results are compared to Egyptian Code (ECC-2001) and BS8110 code methods for the prediction of punching load.

The comparison showed that the used fuzzy logic can stand alone as a competitive method for solving the punching problem of HSC.
