摘要

This study addresses the application of advanced boosting-based ensemble machine learning techniques such as extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), category-aware gradient boosting (CATBoost), and adaptive boosting (ADABoost) algorithms to study the bond behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars in reinforced concrete (RC) beams. To forecast the peak load (Pmax) of the bond behavior between the FRP bars and concrete, five total input variables, namely, the elastic modulus of the bar (Ef), the tensile strength of the bar (Ff), the compressive strength of the concrete (f'c), the diameter of the bar (db), and the bar embedment length (lb), were selected for machine learning model construction. The accuracy of the constructed predictive machine learning models was compared using several metric performances. However, rank analysis has also been used to ascertain which models perform the best. According to the findings of rank analysis using several metric performances, XGBoost outperformed RF, ADABoost, and CATBoost. Utilizing the developed advanced machine learning methods to examine the bond behavior of FRP bars in RC beams yields tangible advantages for the construction sector. This approach refines the design precision, minimizes expenses, and elevates the overall effectiveness and longevity of structures reinforced with FRP.
