Zusammenfassung
This study is a pioneer work that proposes genetic
programming (GP) as a new approach for the explicit
formulation of available rotation capacity of
wide-flange beams which is an important phenomenon that
determines the plastic behaviour of steel structures.
The database for the GP formulation is based on
extensive experimental results from literature. The
results of the GP-based formulation are compared with
numerical results obtained by a specialised computer
program and existing analytical equations. The results
indicate that the proposed GP formulation performs
quite well compared to numerical results and existing
analytical equations and is quite practical for use.
