Abstract The utilization of Self-compacting Concrete (SCC) has escalated worldwide due to its superior properties in comparison to normal concrete such as compaction without vibration, increased flowability and segregation resistance. Various other desirable properties like ductile behaviour, increased strain capacity and tensile strength etc. can be imparted to SCC by incorporation of fibres. Thus, this study presents a novel approach to predict 28-day compressive strength (C–S) of FR-SCC using Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Multi Expression Programming (MEP) for fostering its widespread use in the industry. For this purpose, a dataset had been compiled from internationally published literature having six input parameters including water-to-cement ratio, silica fume, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, fibre, and superplasticizer. The predictive abilities of developed algorithms were assessed using error metrices like mean absolute error (MAE), a20-index, and objective function (OF) etc. The comparison of MEP and GEP models indicated that GEP gave a simple equation having lesser errors than MEP. The OF value of GEP was 0.029 compared to 0.031 of MEP. Thus, sensitivity analysis was performed on GEP model. The models were also checked using some external validation checks which also verified that MEP and GEP equations can be used to forecast the strength of FR-SCC for practical uses. |
