Estimation of Fresh and Hardened Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete by Optimized Radial Basis Function Methods by David Cadasse, Antonio Fontana

“…It is observed that the developed models have performance evaluation indices in reasonable value in the learning and testing section. All in all, the RBFNN model developed by AOA outperforms others, with R2 values at 0.9607 (slump flow), 0.9651 (L-box), 0.9905 (V-funnel test), and 0.9934 (compressive strength), which depicts the capability of this algorithm for determining the optimal parameters of the RBFNN, While, it is worth mentioning than the model developed with GOA algorithm is also powerful.…”
