- The existing classical methods for estimating the inelastic displacement ratios of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to seismic excitation are built upon several assumptions that ignore the effect of uncertainties on the concerning phenomenon. Uncertainty techniques are more appropriate to modelling such phenomenon that inherits impreciseness. This research presents a new method to predict the inelastic displacement ratio of moderately degrading RC structures subjected to earthquake loading using expert systems such as fuzzy logic approach. This is the first research in the literature that makes use of the powerful fuzzy logic technique to estimate maximum displacements due to seismic excitations.
