Shrnutí:As a potential replacement for traditional concrete, which has cracking and poor durability issues, self-healing concrete (SHC) has been the research subject. However, conducting lab trials can be expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, machine learning (ML)-based predictions can aid improved formulations of self-healing concrete. The aim of this work is to develop ML models that could analyze and forecast the rate of healing of the cracked area (CrA) of bacteria- and fiber-containing SHC. These models were constructed using gene expression programming (GEP) and multi-expression programming (MEP) tools. The discrepancy between expected and desired results, statistical tests, Taylor’s diagram, and values were additional metrics used to assess the constructed models. A SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) approach was used to evaluate which input attributes were highly relevant. With = 0.93, MAE = 0.047, MAPE = 12.60%, and RMSE = 0.062, the GEP produced somewhat worse predictions than the MEP ( = 0.93, MAE = 0.033, MAPE = 9.60%, and RMSE = 0.044). Bacteria had an indirect (negative) relationship with the CrA of SHC, while fiber had a direct (positive) association, according to the SHAP study. The SHAP study might help researchers and companies figure out how much of each raw material is needed for SHCs. Therefore, MEP and GEP models can be used to generate and test SHC compositions based on bacteria and polymeric fibers.
