Optimized decision tree algorithms to estimate ultimate strain of concrete wrapped by aramid fiber-reinforced polymer
摘要
A number of machine learning (ML) algorithms using tree-based methodologies were developed to forecast the ultimate strain (εcu) of circular columns wrapped in aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP). This effort aimed to develop and evaluate ML techniques for the assessment of εcu via the use of a dataset including 156 experimental results from 19 published research papers. This purpose led to the development of the decision tree (DT). The hyperparameters of DT, as established by the Beluga whale optimization algorithm (BWOA) and the Golden jackal optimization algorithm (GJOA) (DT(B) and DT(G)), greatly influence DT’s effectiveness. The practical novelty of this research lies in its development of more accurate and reliable predictive models for the
