| Popis: | The design of stud connectors is aided by determining the relationship between shear strength and the input variables (number, diameter, height, tensile strength and elastic modulus of the studs, and compressive strength and elastic modulus of the concrete) that influence strength. Since strength is nonlinearly related to the influencing variables, which makes the predictions of the relevant empirical equations unreliable, the use of machine learning (ML) models is preferred. The prediction results of eight machine learning models were evaluated, including linear regression (LR1), ridge regression (RR), lasso regression (LR2), back-propagation artificial neural network (BP ANN), genetic algorithm optimized BP ANN (GA-BP ANN), extreme learning machines (ELM), random forests (RF), and support vector machines (SVM). The results show that the GA-BP ANN model is the most accurate model for prediction with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 6.17% and an R2 of 0.9599. Based on the GA-BP ANN model and the global sensitivity analysis (GSA) method, a new parameter importance analysis method was developed to compare the magnitude of the effect of different input variables on strength. It was found that stud diameter had the greatest effect on shear strength. |
