An Improved Equation for the Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Concrete Short Columns Based on GPR

Abstract

The determination of the bearing capacity prediction model of concrete-filled steel tubular columns is a key issue in the structural design of prefabricated buildings, which directly relates to the stability and safety of prefabricated buildings. The purpose of this paper is to study the bearing capacity model of concrete-filled steel tubular columns, and propose an explicit formula based on the Gaussian process regression algorithm to calculate the bearing capacity. In order to solve the problem of low accuracy of the traditional empirical bearing capacity model, this paper first proposes a more accurate bearing capacity prediction model based on Gaussian process regression algorithm to automatically learn and capture the characteristics of 122 groups of test data; the paper then determines the function of high sensitivity parameters and section influence parameters through the established bearing capacity prediction model, and this process gives the display formula. Compared with the implicit formula given by a machine learning model, the explicit formula proposed in this paper is more suitable for practical engineering design. In order to verify the validity of the formula, we generated the bearing capacity data through the proposed formula based on the test data and used the descriptive statistical method to verify. The results show that the proposed formula is superior to other existing methods, the error between the data generated by the proposed formula and the test data is smaller, and its accuracy reaches 93.73%, which is more suitable for calculating the bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubes with different cross sections.
