abstract = "The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars to
reinforce concrete structures has received a great deal
of attention in recent years due to their excellent
corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and good
non-magnetisation properties. Due to the relatively low
modulus of elasticity of FRP bars, concrete members
reinforced longitudinally with FRP bars experience
reduced shear strength compared to the shear strength
of those reinforced with the same amounts of steel
reinforcement. This paper presents a simple yet
improved model to calculate the concrete shear strength
of FRP-reinforced concrete slender beams (a/d > 2.5)
without stirrups based on the gene expression
programming (GEP) approach. The model produced by GEP
is constructed directly from a set of experimental
results available in the literature. The results of
training, testing and validation sets of the model are
compared with experimental results. All of the results
show that GEP is a strong technique for the prediction
of the shear capacity of FRP-reinforced concrete beams
without stirrups. The performance of the GEP model is
also compared to that of four commonly used shear
design provisions for FRP-reinforced concrete beams.
The proposed model produced by GEP provides the most
accurate results in calculating the concrete shear
strength of FRP-reinforced concrete beams among
existing shear equations provided by current
provisions. A parametric study is also carried out to
evaluate the ability of the proposed GEP model and
current shear design guidelines to quantitatively
account for the effects of basic shear design
parameters on the shear strength of FRP-reinforced
concrete beams.",
