The tendency of mass constructors to use this system is due to it being a full industrial process. One of the systems that resist lateral load in cold-formed steel structures is the application of braces. Optimization and improvement of connections for these braces have been considered by experts in this field of research. In this paper, experimental studies and normalization and simulation by artificial neural network (ANN) were used. The results of the research have been applied to create a nonlinear relationship. All input and target data must be normalized and then simulation and training by a neural network can be performed. In this research, two layers have been used. One of these is a sigmoid layer. The results show that optimal connections in light weight steel framing systems have suitable plasticity, load capacity and nonlinear relations. Statistical analysis with SPSS software shows that there is no significant difference between the neural network and experimental results (P-Value > 0.05).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100999,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review A: Natural Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psra.2016.09.018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91725250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excess rainfall is estimated from rainfall, soil and land-use properties according to the SCS. The approximation of river flow uses finite elements, while overland and channel flows are simulated by one-dimensional kinematic wave equations. The finite element algorithm for solving the one-dimensional kinematic wave equations is based on lumped schemes and a third order Runge–Kutta method. The proposed model is applied to estimate the flood flow in the Tra Khuc River Basin. The obtained results show the promise of this method for practical application.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100999,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Science Review A: Natural Science and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.psra.2016.11.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91725253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
