Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Soilcrete is an innovative construction material made by combining naturally occurring earth materials with cement. It can be effectively used in areas where other construction materials are not readily available due to financial or environmental reasons since soilcrete is made from readily available natural clay. It can also help to cut down the greenhouse gas emissions from the construction industry by encouraging the use of resources that are locally available. Thus, it is imperative to reliably predict different properties of soilcrete since the accurate determination of these properties is crucial for the widespread use of soilcrete materials. However, the laboratory determination of these properties is subjected to significant time and resource constraints. As a result, this research was undertaken to provide empirical prediction models for the density, shrinkage, and strain of soilcrete mixes using two machine learning algorithms: Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB). The analysis revealed that XGB-based predictions correlated more with real-life values than GEP having training $${\text{R}}^{2}=0.999$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>R</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0.999</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> for both density and shrinkage prediction and $${\text{R}}^{2}=0.944$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mtext>R</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0.944</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> for strain prediction. Moreover, several explanatory analyses including individual conditional expectation (ICE) analysis and shapely analysis were done on the XGB model which showed that water-to-binder ratio, metakaolin content, and modulus of elasticity are some of the most important variables for forecasting soilcrete materials properties. Furthermore, an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed for effective utilization in civil engineering industry to forecast these properties of soilcrete materials.

Not 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.
