School buildings in Taiwan are designed to serve not only as places of education but also as temporary shelters in the aftermath of major earthquakes. Effective evaluation of the seismic resistance of current school buildings is a critical issue that deserves further exploration. The National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) currently employs performance-target ground acceleration (Ap) as the key index to evaluate school structure compliance with seismic resistance requirements. However, computational processes are complicated, time consuming, and require the input of many experts. To address this problem, this research developed an evolutionary support vector machine inference system (ESIS) that integrated two AI techniques, namely, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Fast Messy Genetic Algorithm (fmGA). Based on training results, the developed system can predict the Ap of a school building in a significantly shorter time base, thus increasing evaluation efficiency significantly. Samples of 525 typical school buildings in Taiwan were used in this research. Divide them as training cases and testing cases, which were used to calculate the root mean square error (RMSE). According to the results, the RMSE of the training cases are between 0.06464 and 0.08758, while the testing cases are 0.01329 and 0.02876. Another aim of this research is to retain and apply expert knowledge and relevant experience to the solution of similar problems in the future. |
