“…However, it is worth mentioning that there are other ternative methodologies for predicting the mechanical behavior of SHCC, namely, mu The mentioned approaches have the appeal of using the micro-and mesomechanisms observed experimentally. However, it is worth mentioning that there are other alternative methodologies for predicting the mechanical behavior of SHCC, namely, multiphase modeling, in which the fibers are simulated discreetly and immersed in the cementitious matrix (Bitencourt Jr et al, 2019 [20], Qsymah, 2016 [21]; Cunha, Barros and Sena-Cruz, 2011 [22]); inverse analysis, in which the stress-strain relationship of the material is obtained by inverse analysis techniques based on experimental responses (Kang et al, 2010 [80]; Baby et al, 2013 [81], Stephen et al, 2019 [82]); use of different types of machine learning such as artificial neural network (ANN), support vector regression (SVR), classification and regression tree (CART), and gradient boosting tree (GBoost) (Guo et al, 2021 [83]; Abellán-García and Guzmán-Guzmán, 2021 [84], Marani, Jamali, Nehdi, 2020 [85]); and techniques based on the theory of homogenization with the development of multiscale models (Yu et al, 2020 [86]).…”
