Machine learning predicts concrete strength under temperature stress

Researchers have developed a data-driven framework using machine learning to predict the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced high-performance concrete under varying temperatures. The study evaluated eight models, finding that ensemble methods like gradient boosting and extreme gradient boosting performed best, achieving an R^2 of 0.903. Explainability techniques revealed temperature as the most significant factor affecting strength, followed by aggregate and water content, with strength decreasing as temperature rises. A Python-based GUI was created for easy prediction using the developed models. AI

IMPACT Provides a precise and comprehensible methodology for evaluating temperature-dependent compressive strength, facilitating data-driven design of concrete.
