- Abstract
This paper assesses the capability of using a new data‐driven approach to predict the bond strength between steel rebar and concrete subjected to high temperatures. The analysis has been conducted using a novel evolutionary polynomial regression analysis (EPR‐MOGA) that employs soft computing techniques, and new correlations have been proposed. The proposed correlations provide better predictions and enhanced accuracy than existing approaches, such as classical regression analysis. Based on this novel approach, the resulting correlations have achieved a lower mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE), a mean (μ) close to the optimum value (1.0) and a higher coefficient of determination (R2) compared to available correlations, which use classical regression analysis. Based on their enhanced performance, the proposed correlations can be used to obtain better optimised and more robust design calculations.
