Machine-learning-assisted design of high strength steel I-section columns by Cheng, Jinpeng, Li, Xuelai, Jiang, Ke, Li, Shuai, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…Based on the data in the collected database, the regression model trained by Categorical Boosting and existing codified design provisions, as given in the European code and American specification, were assessed and compared. The European code and American specification were found to yield scattered and inaccurate failure load predictions, while the Categorical Boosting trained model led to substantially more accurate and consistent failure load predictions for high strength steel I-section columns with different material grades, boundary conditions, geometric dimensions and failure modes.…”
