This paper establishes fatigue life prediction models using the soft computing method to address insufficient parameter consideration and limited computational accuracy in predicting the fatigue life of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened concrete beams. Five different input forms were proposed by collecting 117 sets of fatigue test data of FRP-strengthened concrete beams from the existing literature and integrating the outcomes from Pearson correlation analysis and significance testing. Using Gene Expression Programming (GEP), the effects of various input configurations on the accuracy of model predictions were examined. The model prediction results were also evaluated using five statistical indicators. The GEP model used concrete compressive strength, the steel reinforcement stress range ratio to the yield strength, and the stiffness factor as input parameters. Subsequently, using the same input parameters, the multi-objective genetic algorithm evolutionary polynomial regression (MOGA-EPR) method was then employed to develop a fatigue life prediction model. Sensitivity analyses of the GEP and MOGA-EPR models revealed that both could precisely capture the fundamental connections between fatigue life and multiple contributing variables. Compared to existing models, the proposed ones have higher prediction accuracy with a coefficient of determination reaching 0.8, significantly enhancing the accuracy of fatigue life predictions for FRP-strengthened concrete beams.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of concrete known for its environmental benefits and improved workability. In this study, data-driven approaches were used to anticipate the compressive strength (CS) of self-c...
