ABSTRACT
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is one of the efficient innovation in concrete industry that has the ability to enhance the mechanical properties significantly. To cope up with the increase in infrastructural activities which resulted in greater demand in production of different construction materials have a negative impact on the environment, this study aims to determine the mechanical performance of the optimum compressive and flexural strength of buntal fiber-reinforced concrete with surkhi as partial replacement for sand (BFRC-SS). Using 28th-day compressive and flexural strength, several mixtures were experimentally tested to derive a mix proportion that gave the best mechanical properties of BFRC-SS. From the results, best hybrid models of compressive and flexural strength were formulated using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Results showed that ANN was able to establish the effects of surkhi and buntal (Corypha utan Lam) fiber to the mechanical properties of BFRC-SS. Furthermore, the multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) model generated the optimum proportion for the best compressive and flexural strength. Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Multi-Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were also utilized to assess and validate the hybrid model through surface imaging. Utilizing least percent error, ANN hybrid model showed the most significant predictive model compared to other models generated by MLRA and FIS. This study adoptied the fusion of 4.0 Industrial Revolution and favoring creativity and integrity through artificial intelligence.
