description <p dir="ltr">Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in concrete structures owing to their superior corrosion resistance. However, FRP-reinforced concrete (RC) structures exhibit less ductile response compared to steel RC structures. Recently, the use of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) reinforced with BFRP bars was investigated to achieve a reasonable level of ductility in BFRC-BFRP one-way slabs. The shear behavior of such a slab depends on different design parameters. This paper aims to identify the impact of each design parameter on the shear behavior of BFRC-BFRP one-way slabs using a fractional factorial design of experiment (DOE). A 3D finite element model was first developed and validated against available experimental results. The developed model is then used to conduct a sensitivity analysis considering five factors that influence the shear behavior of BFRC-BFRP one-way slabs. These factors are the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, shear span-to-depth ratio, effective depth, concrete compressive strength, and volume fraction of basalt macro fibers (BMF). Finally, a design equation that can predict the shear capacity of one-way BFRC-BFRP slabs was proposed based on genetic algorithm. The proposed model showed the best prediction accuracy compared to the available design codes and guidelines with a mean of predicted to experimental shear capacities (V<sub>pred</sub>/V<sub>exp</sub>) ratio of 0.97 and a coefficient of variation of 17.91%.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Composite Structures<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2022.116473" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2022.116473</a></p>
