Abstract
A number of regression-based models have been proposed to quantify the seismic shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, most of these models suffer from a high degree of uncertainty as a result of the limited datasets used in their development and/or the classic approaches used to capture the non-linear interrelationships between the shear strength and influencing factors. To address these issues, in this work, the power of multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP), guided by mechanics, was harnessed to identify the primary influencing factors and subsequently develop efficient shear capacity prediction models for rectangular and circular RC columns. Comprehensive published datasets for the shear strength of cyclically loaded RC columns were compiled and employed to develop the MGGP-based models. The efficiency of the developed models was assessed and their performance was also compared with that of other relevant prediction models. The results showed that the developed mechanics-guided MGGP approach produced more accurate and consistent prediction models to describe the complex shear behaviour of RC columns under cyclic loading than the models available in the relevant design standards and literature.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
