Application of the Improved POA-RF Model in Predicting the Strength and Energy Absorption Property of a Novel Aseismic Rubber-Concrete Material

The application of aseismic materials in foundation engineering structures is an inevitable trend and research hotspot of earthquake resistance, especially in tunnel engineering. In this study, the pelican optimization algorithm (POA) is improved using the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method and the Chaotic mapping (CM) method to optimize the random forest (RF) model for predicting the aseismic performance of a novel aseismic rubber-concrete material. Seventy uniaxial compression tests and seventy impact tests were conducted to quantify this aseismic material performance, i.e., strength and energy absorption properties and four other artificial intelligence models were generated to compare the predictive performance with the proposed hybrid RF models. The performance evaluation results showed that the LHSPOA-RF model has the best prediction performance among all the models for predicting the strength and energy absorption property of this novel aseismic concrete material in both the training and testing phases (R2: 0.9800 and 0.9108, VAF: 98.0005% and 91.0880%, RMSE: 0.7057 and 1.9128, MAE: 0.4461 and 0.7364; R2: 0.9857 and 0.9065, VAF: 98.5909% and 91.3652%, RMSE: 0.5781 and 1.8814, MAE: 0.4233 and 0.9913). In addition, the sensitive analysis results indicated that the rubber and cement are the most important parameters for predicting the strength and energy absorption properties, respectively. Accordingly, the improved POA-RF model not only is proven as an effective method to predict the strength and energy absorption properties of aseismic materials, but also this hybrid model provides a new idea for assessing other aseismic performances in the field of tunnel engineering.
