AXIAL COMPRESSION BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED SHORT COLUMNS – EXPERIMENTAL, ANALYTICAL AND ANN APPROACH
The main purpose of this study is to determine the behavior of reinforced short columns made up of different kinds of concrete subjected to axial compression. The study includes ultimate load carrying capacity of short columns made up of various kinds of concrete with different grades and various percentages of longitudinal steel viz., 1.29%, 2.01%, 2.89% and 5.15%. In addition to the experimental study, analytical investigation by using the codal equations from various codes of practices were used and the comparative was carried out by using ANN approach also. From the results, it was clear that the results were very close as the percentage error is very less.
