“…To comprehensively assess the efficiency of the proposed models in the present research, various metrics, including the mean average error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R 2 ), and a 20 index [60,101,102], are employed. These indicators serve to depict the correlations between the measured CSGePoCo values and the estimated CSGePoCo value [105][106][107][108][109]. The mathematical formulas for calculation of these indices are as follows:…”

Landscape geopolymer concrete (GePoCo) with environmentally friendly production methods not only has a stable structure but can also effectively reduce environmental damage. Nevertheless, GePoCo poses challenges with its intricate cementitious matrix and a vague mix design, where the components and their relative amounts can influence the compressive strength. In response to these challenges, the application of accurate and applicable soft computing techniques becomes imperative for predicting the strength of such a composite cementitious matrix. This research aimed to predict the compressive strength of GePoCo using waste resources through a novel ensemble ML algorithm. The dataset comprised 156 statistical samples, and 15 variables were selected for prediction. The model employed a combination of the RF, GWO algorithm, and XGBoost. A stacking strategy was implemented by developing multiple RF models with different hyperparameters, combining their outcome predictions into a new dataset, and subsequently developing the XGBoost model, termed the RF–XGBoost model. To enhance accuracy and reduce errors, the GWO algorithm optimized the hyperparameters of the RF–XGBoost model, resulting in the RF–GWO–XGBoost model. This proposed model was compared with stand-alone RF and XGBoost models, and a hybrid GWO–XGBoost system. The results demonstrated significant performance improvement using the proposed strategies, particularly with the assistance of the GWO algorithm. The RF–GWO–XGBoost model exhibited better performance and effectiveness, with an RMSE of 1.712 and 3.485, and R2 of 0.983 and 0.981. In contrast, stand-alone models (RF and XGBoost) and the hybrid model of GWO–XGBoost demonstrated lower performance.

As an environmentally responsible alternative to conventional concrete, geopolymer concrete recycles previously used resources to prepare the cementitious component of the product. The challenging issue with employing geopolymer concrete in the building business is the absence of a standard mix design. According to the chemical composition of its components, this work proposes a thorough system or framework for estimating the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (FAGC). It could be possible to construct a system for predicting the compressive strength of FAGC using soft computing methods, thereby avoiding the requirement for time-consuming and expensive experimental tests. A complete database of 162 compressive strength datasets was gathered from the research papers that were published between the years 2000 and 2020 and prepared to develop proposed models. To address the relationships between inputs and output variables, long short-term memory networks were deployed. Notably, the proposed model was examined using several soft computing methods. The modeling process incorporated 17 variables that affect the CSFAG, such as percentage of SiO2 (SiO2), percentage of Na2O (Na2O), percentage of CaO (CaO), percentage of Al2O3 (Al2O3), percentage of Fe2O3 (Fe2O3), fly ash (FA), coarse aggregate (CAgg), fine aggregate (FAgg), Sodium Hydroxide solution (SH), Sodium Silicate solution (SS), extra water (EW), superplasticizer (SP), SH concentration, percentage of SiO2 in SS, percentage of Na2O in SS, curing time, curing temperature that the proposed model was examined to several soft computing methods such as multi-layer perception neural network (MLPNN), Bayesian regularized neural network (BRNN), generalized feed-forward neural networks (GFNN), support vector regression (SVR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and LSTM. Three main innovations of this study are using the LSTM model for predicting FAGC, optimizing the LSTM model by a new evolutionary algorithm called the marine predators algorithm (MPA), and considering the six new inputs in the modeling process, such as aggregate to total mass ratio, fine aggregate to total aggregate mass ratio, FASiO2:Al2O3 molar ratio, FA SiO2:Fe2O3 molar ratio, AA Na2O:SiO2 molar ratio, and the sum of SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3 percent in FA. The performance capacity of LSTM-MPA was evaluated with other artificial intelligence models. The results indicate that the R2 and RMSE values for the proposed LSTM-MPA model were as follows: MLPNN (R2 = 0.896, RMSE = 3.745), BRNN (R2 = 0.931, RMSE = 2.785), GFFNN (R2 = 0.926, RMSE = 2.926), SVR-L (R2 = 0.921, RMSE = 3.017), SVR-P (R2 = 0.920, RMSE = 3.291), SVR-S (R2 = 0.934, RMSE = 2.823), SVR-RBF (R2 = 0.916, RMSE = 3.114), DT (R2 = 0.934, RMSE = 2.711), RF (R2 = 0.938, RMSE = 2.892), LSTM (R2 = 0.9725, RMSE = 1.7816), LSTM-MPA (R2 = 0.9940, RMSE = 0.8332), and LSTM-PSO (R2 = 0.9804, RMSE = 1.5221). Therefore, the proposed LSTM-MPA model can be employed as a reliable and accurate model for predicting CSFAG. Noteworthy, the results demonstrated the significance and influence of fly ash and sodium silicate solution chemical compositions on the compressive strength of FAGC. These variables could adequately present variations in the best mix designs discovered in earlier investigations. The suggested approach may also save time and money by accurately estimating the compressive strength of FAGC with low calcium content.

“…Consequently, to gauge the method's efficacy, assessment measures such as the coefficient of determination (R 2 ), root mean squared error (RMSE), variance accounted for (VAF), mean absolute error (MAE), and bias were utilized. In the context of the regression analysis, these three metrics commonly serve as benchmarks for assessing the performance of AI models and can be computed by applying Equations ( 15)-( 19) [32,100,[118][119][120][121][122][123][124]:…”

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.
