Performance Evaluation of Compressive Strength Models for SRP and SRG-Confined Concrete Columns by Ehsan Janfada, HamidReza Nasseri, Hashem Jahangir

“…Moreover, after a comprehensive review and conducting a trial and error process of 45 existing models for estimating the relative compressive strength of confined concrete columns, six models for the SRP-confined concrete columns and six models for SRG-confined concrete columns with square cross-sections were selected and their performance was evaluated by comparing the Pearson correlation coefficient (R) and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) criteria. The results illustrated that for the SRP-confined concrete columns with square cross-sections, the selected model from the CNR-DT200 standard with respectively R and MAPE values of 0.7671 and 7.39% outperformed other selected SRP models. …”
