Abstract

The field of design places greater emphasis on strength at the point of rupture, rather than ultimate strength, even though structures are often capable of withstanding greater loads beyond this point. However, estimation of ultimate strength is crucial in the design field. In this groundbreaking study, the unyielding torsional capacity of distressed beams of elevated potency is evaluated utilizing the innovative ferrocement "U" wrap technique. This trailblazing research delves into uncharted territory, pushing the limits of what is currently known about the subject matter. The assessment approach involves both experimental and analytical data. Nevertheless, both procedures have their drawbacks, since the former requires the demolition of a prototype structure, while the latter might be time-consuming. To circumvent these restrictions, soft computing approaches like MARS and WASPAS have been applied to forecast the torsional strength of "U" wrapped beams. The estimated values provided by various methodologies are determined to be within acceptable boundsAt the ultimate pinnacle of testing, it has been revealed that beams which are wrapped in a "U" shape are far superior at resisting torque compared to their unwrapped counterparts. Astoundingly, over-reinforced beams boast an astounding 98.01% more resistance than plain "U" wrapped beams. But that's not all, even under-reinforced "U" wrapped beams showcase enhanced performance by withstanding an incredible 23.9 times more twist than regular "U" wrapped beams. This highlights the practicality of utilizing "U" wraps around the outer edges of distressed beams. The findings of this investigation have the potential to revolutionize the field, paving the way for new and innovative methodologies to be developed. The conclusions drawn from this study are sure to be met with incredulity and amazement by even the most astute scholars in the industry.
