The utilization of Concrete-filled steel Tubular (CFST) columns is increasingly widespread. However, the assessment of the residual bearing capacity of CFST columns currently relies mainly on costly and time-consuming experiments and numerical simulations. In this study, we propose a machine learning-based model for rapidly identifying the residual bearing capacity of CFST columns. The results demonstrate that the predictions of the proposed Stacking-KRXL model align well with the actual values, with most prediction errors falling within ±10%. The RSquared value of 0.97 significantly surpasses that of other methods. The stability and robustness of the model are analyzed. Additionally, the Shapley additive explanations method is applied for global and local interpretations, revealing positive or negative correlations between different parameters and the residual bearing capacity of CFST columns, mainly influenced by the concrete area in the core region.
