Abstract:

Fiber-reinforced nano-silica concrete (FrRNSC) was applied to a concrete sculpture to address the issue of brittle fracture, and the primary objective of this study was to explore the potential of hybridizing the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) with four robust and intelligent ensemble learning techniques, namely XGBoost, LightGBM, AdaBoost, and CatBoost, to anticipate the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced nano-silica concrete (FrRNSC) for sculptural elements. The optimization of hyperparameters for these techniques was performed using the GWO metaheuristic algorithm, enhancing accuracy through the creation of four hybrid ensemble learning models: GWO-XGBoost, GWO-LightGBM, GWO-AdaBoost, and GWO-CatBoost. A comparative analysis was conducted between the results obtained from these hybrid models and their conventional counterparts. The evaluation of these models is based on five key indices: R2, RMSE, VAF, MAE, and bias, addressing an objective assessment of the predictive models’ performance and capabilities. The outcomes reveal that GWO-XGBoost, exhibiting R2 values of (0.971 and 0.978) for the train and test stages, respectively, emerges as the best predictive model for estimating the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced nano-silica concrete (FrRNSC) compared to other models. Consequently, the proposed GWO-XGBoost algorithm proves to be an efficient tool for anticipating CSFrRNSC.
