Gene expression programming (GEP) based intelligent model for high performance concrete comprehensive strength analysis

Abstract

Strength of high performance concrete (HPC) is not depends upon water to cement ration only but it is also persuaded by the several components of the concrete. The HPC is a vastly compound material, which create its behavior property very difficult in modeling to analyze. The main aim of this paper is to provide the utilization possibilities of Gene Expression Programming (GEP) to predict the HPC compressive strength (HPCCS) at highly complex behavior. A set of 1030 samples of HPC was collected from open access repository that was developed in the laboratory and represented suitable experimental results, which includes eight attributes (i.e., age, blast furnaces slag, cement, fly ash, water, superplasticizer, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate). The obtained results are compared with other computational intelligence technique (i.e., RBF neural Network) to validate the performance analysis of the proposed approach. This method is used to predict the HPCCS in high strength level. Moreover, as per available literature, this is the first attempt to implement the GEP in this domain to predict the HPCCS.
