| description | In this research, the number of dowels (horizontal connection) has been determined using support vector machines (SVM), gradient boosting and artificial neural networks (ANN-Multilayer perceptron). Building height, length and thickness of the wall, maximum shear, maximum compressive force and maximum tension were the input parameters while the output parameter was the number of dowels. 1140 machine learning models were used, out of which 814 were used as training datasets and 326 as test datasets. A coefficient of correlation of 0.9264, root mean square error of 0.3677 and scattering Index of 4.75 % was achieved by SVM radial basis kernel function (SVM-RBF) as compared to a coefficient of correlation of 0.9232, root mean square error of 0.3743 and scattering Index of 4.83 % by resilient ANN-Multilayer perceptron, suggesting that SVM-RBF is more accurate in estimating the number of dowels. The study's encouraging findings highlight the need for additional research into the use of machine learning in civil engineering. |
