Explainable Hybridized Ensemble Model with a Metaheuristics Algorithm for the Prediction of Compressive Strength of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete

Abstract

AbstractUltrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), composed of supplementary cementitious material, exhibits enhanced mechanical strength and durability, which increases its applicability in newer construction or the refurbishing of existing structures to ...Practical ApplicationsThe developed hybridized ensemble model, XGB-KH, is a practical and highly reliable tool for predicting the compressive strength of ultrahigh-performance concrete, facilitating smarter mix design in real-world construction settings. ...
