Application of artificial neural networks and multiple linear regression on local bond stress equation of UHPC and reinforcing steel bars

Abstract

We investigated the use of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the Local Bond Stress (LBS) between Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) and steel bars, in order to evaluate the accuracy of our LBS equation, proposed by Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The experimental and numerical LBS results of specimens, based on RILEM standards and using pullout tests, were assessed by the ANN algorithm using the TensorFlow platform. For each specimen, steel bar diameters ($$d_{b} )$$ d b ) of 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20, concrete compressive strength ($$f_{c}^{\prime }$$ f c ′ ), bond lengths ($$L$$ L ), and concrete covers ($$C$$ C ) of $$d_{b}$$ d b , $$2d_{b}$$ 2 d b , $$3d_{b}$$ 3 d b and $$4d_{b}$$ 4 d b were used as input parameters for our ANN. To obtain an accurate LBS equation, we first modified the existing formula, then used MLR to establish a new LBS equation. Finally, we applied ANN to verify our new proposed equation. The numerical pullout test values from ABAQUS and experimental results from our laboratory were compared with the proposed LBS equation and ANN algorithm results. The results confirmed that our LBS equation is logically accurate and that there is a strong agreement between the experimental, numerical, theoretical, and the predicted LBS values. Moreover, the ANN algorithm proved the precision of our proposed LBS equation.

Development of a near‐infrared spectroscopy calibration for Hagberg falling number assessment of barley (Hordeum vulgare): A comparison of methods

“…ANNs are used to analyse data in different fields, such as manufacturing, business, engineering, management and other scientific disciplines (Amini Pishro et al, 2021, and literature cited therein). Therefore, we evaluated the performance of ANN for regression and classification using the same data set as was used for the PLS approaches.…”

Malt quality profile of barley predicted by near‐infrared spectroscopy using partial least squares, Bayesian regression, and artificial neural network models

“…Following dimension reduction by PCA, PCs that explained most of the variation in the spectral data were used as input variables (predictors) in the artificial neural networks model. ANNs are becoming frequently used in different fields and other scientific disciplines to capture relationships between independent and dependent variables based on the structure and function of biological neural networks 23 . With five PCs used as input nodes applied to different combinations of hidden layers, a multilayer perceptron with two hidden layers was reliable to best predict the performance of ANN on the malt quality datasets.…”

“…The concept of ANN is implemented in classification analysis by presenting quite good results [34]. Classification analysis was developed with a learning model with precise and accurate results [35]. Learning outcomes are proven to produce the best results based on the results of the training process and network testing [36].…”
