Rock compressive strength is an important mechanical parameter for the design, excavation, and stability analysis of rock mass engineering in cold regions. Accurate and rapid prediction of rock compressive strength has great engineering value in guiding the efficient construction of rock mass engineering in a cold regions. In this study, the prediction of triaxial compressive strength (TCS) for sandstone subjected to freeze-thaw cycles was proposed using a genetic algorithm (GA) and an artificial neural network (ANN). For this purpose, a database including four model inputs, namely, the longitudinal wave velocity, porosity, confining pressure, and number of freeze-thaw cycles, and one output, the TCS of the rock, was established. The structure, initial connection weights, and biases of the ANN were optimized progressively based on GA. After obtaining the optimal GA-ANN model, the performance of the GA-ANN model was compared with that of a simple ANN model. The results revealed that the proposed hybrid GA-ANN model had a higher accuracy in predicting the testing datasets than the simple ANN model: the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and R squared ( R 2 ) were equal to 1.083, 0.893, and 0.993, respectively, for the hybrid GA-ANN model, while the corresponding values were 2.676, 2.153, and 0.952 for the simple ANN model.

The objective of this work was to examine the compressive strength behavior of ground bottom ash (GBA) concrete by using an artificial neural network. Four input parameters, specifically, the water-to-binder ratio (WB), percentage replacement of GBA (PR), median particle size of GBA (PS), and age of concrete (AC), were considered for this prediction. The results indicated that all four considered parameters affect the strength development of concrete, and GBA with a high fineness can act as a good pozzolanic material. The optimal ANN model had an architecture with two hidden layers, with six neurons in the first hidden layer and one neuron in the second hidden layer. The proposed ANN-based explicit equation represented a highly accurate predictive model, for which the statistical values of R2 were higher than 0.996. Moreover, the compressive strength behavior determined using the optimal ANN model closely followed the trend lines and surface plots of the experimental results.

The application of a hybrid framework based on the combination, artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA), for n-thymol synthesis modeling and optimization has been developed. The effects of molar ratio propylene/cresol (X1), catalyst mass (X2) and temperature (X3) on n-thymol selectivity Y1 and m-cresol conversion Y2 were studied. A 3-8-2 ANN model was found to be very suitable for reaction modeling. The multiobjective optimization, led to optimal operating conditions (0.55 ? X1 ? 0.77; 1.773 g ? X2 ? 1.86 g; 289.74 °C ? X3 ? 291.33 °C) representing good solutions for obtaining high n-thymol selectivity and high m-cresol conversion. This optimal zone corresponded to n-thymol selectivity and m-cresol conversion ranging respectively in the interval [79.3; 79.5]% and [13.4 %; 23.7]%. These results were better than those obtained with a sequential method based on experimental design for which, optimum conditions led to n-thymol selectivity and m-cresol conversion values respectively equal to 67% and 11%. The hybrid method ANN-GA showed its ability to solve complex problems with a good fitting.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Spinosyns, products of secondary metabolic pathway of <i>Saccharopolyspora spinosa</i>, show high insecticidal activity, but difficulty in enhancing the spinosad yield affects wide application. The fermentation process is a key factor in this case. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The response surface methodology (RMS) and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling were applied to optimize medium components for spinosad production using <i>S. spinosa </i>strain CGMCC4.1365. Experiments were performed using a rotatable central composite design, and the data obtained were used to construct an ANN model and an RSM model. Using a genetic algorithm (GA), the input space of the ANN model was optimized to obtain optimal values of medium component concentrations. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The regression coefficients (R<sup>2</sup>) for the ANN and RSM models were 0.9866 and 0.9458, respectively, indicating that the fitness of the ANN model was higher. The maximal spinosad yield (401.26 mg/l) was obtained using ANN/GA-optimized concentrations. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The hybrid ANN/GA approach provides a viable alternative to the conventional RSM approach for the modeling and optimization of fermentation processes.

The selection of appropriate drilling parameters is essential for improving productivity and part quality, therefore, this work mainly concentrates on the investigation of drilling time, burr height, burr thickness, roundness and surface roughness. The drilling experiments were carried out on Magnesium (Mg) AZ91 with High Speed Steel (HSS) tool using the Vertical Milling Machine (VMM). The parameters reckoned are spindle speed and feed rate. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was concerned with the building of the model that will be used to forecast the responses following the consideration of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Conventional method of modeling (RSM) yields poorer results which redirected the study with ANN. The Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based ANN has been reckoned for developing the model. With two nodes in the parameter layer and seven nodes in the response layer, six different networks were constructed using variety of nodes in the hidden layers which are 2–6–7, 2–7–7, 2–8–7, 2–6–6–7, 2–7–6–7 and 2–8–6–7. It is observed that the 2–8–7 network offers the best ANN model in predicting the various responses. The prediction results ensure the reliability of the ANN model to analyze the effect of drilling parameters over the various responses.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of fine recycled concrete powder (FRCP) on the strength of self-compacting concrete (SCC). For this purpose, a numerical artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed for strength prediction of SCC incorporating FRCP. At first, 240 experimental data sets were selected from the literature to develop the model. Approximately 60% of the database was used for training, 20% for testing, and the remaining 20% for the validation step. Model inputs included binder content, water/binder ratio, recycled concrete aggregates’ (RCA) content, percentage of supplementary cementitious materials (fly ash), amount of FRCP, and curing time. The model provided reliable results with mean square error (MSE) and regression values of 0.01 and 0.97, respectively. Additionally, to further validate the model, four experimental recycled self-compacting concrete (RSCC) samples were tested experimentally, and their properties were used as unseen data to the model. The results showed that the developed model can predict the compressive strength of RSCC with high accuracy.

Abstract The application of artificial neural network (ANN) models for short-term (15 min) urban water demand predictions is evaluated. Optimization of the ANN model's hyperparameters with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and use of a growing window approach for training the model are also evaluated. The results are compared to those of commonly used time series models, namely the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and a pattern-based model. The evaluations are based on data sets from two Canadian cities, providing 15 minute water consumption records over respectively 5 years and 23 months, with a respective mean water demand of 14,560 and 887 m3/d. The GA optimized ANN model performed better than the other models, with Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiencies of 0.91 and 0.83, and Relative Root Mean Square Errors of 6 and 16% for City 1 and City 2, respectively. The results of this study indicate that the optimization of the hyperparameters of an ANN model can lead to better 15 min urban water demand predictions, which are useful for many real time control applications, such as dynamic pressure control.

The aim of this article is to predict the compressive strength of environmentally friendly concrete modified with eggshell powder. For this purpose, an optimized artificial neural network, combined with a novel metaheuristic shuffled frog leaping optimization algorithm, was employed and compared with a well-known genetic algorithm and multiple linear regression. The presented results confirm that the highest compressive strength (46 MPa on average) can be achieved for mix designs containing 7 to 9% of eggshell powder. This means that the strength increased by 55% when compared to conventional Portland cement-based concrete. The comparative results also show that the proposed artificial neural network, combined with the novel metaheuristic shuffled frog leaping optimization algorithm, offers satisfactory results of compressive strength predictions for concrete modified using eggshell powder concrete. Moreover, it has a higher accuracy than the genetic algorithm and the multiple linear regression. This finding makes the present method useful for construction practice because it enables a concrete mix with a specific compressive strength to be developed based on industrial waste that is locally available.

Though the high-speed railways are seen as a sustainable form of transportation, the fact that the rail wear in high-speed railways negatively affects the running safety and riding comfort, as well as the maintenance of railways, has drawn a wide range of concerns among researchers and scholars. In order to reduce the rail wear and achieve the goal of sustainable transportation, this paper proposes an ingenious optimization program of rail profiles based on the artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) coupled method. The candidate solutions of the nonlinear GA programming model are regarded as the inputs of the trained ANN model. Meanwhile, the outputs of the trained ANN model serve as the objective functions of the GA model. The computational results show that the optimized rail profile not only has superior performances in terms of the wheel/rail wear and contact conditions, but also maintains good dynamic performances. Therefore, this study can provide the theoretical and practical basis for the design and the preventive grinding of rails in the high-speed railways. Also, the ANN-GA coupled model can be extended and further employed on the optimization of other rail profiles.

To realize efficient operation of a silo, level management of internal storage is crucial. In this study, to address the existing measurement limitations, a silo hotspot detector, which is typically utilized for internal silo temperature monitoring, was employed. The internal temperature data measured using the hotspot detectors were used to train an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to predict the level of the internal storage of the silo. The prediction accuracy was evaluated by comparing the predicted data with ground truth data. We combined the ANN model with the genetic algorithm (GA) to improve the prediction accuracy and establish efficient sensor installation positions and number to proceed with optimization. Simulation results demonstrated that the best predictive performance (up to 97% accuracy) was achieved when the ANN structure was 9-19-19-1. Furthermore, the numbers of efficient sensors and sensors positions determined using the proposed ANN-GA technique were reduced from seven to five or four, thereby ensuring economic feasibility.
