RESUMEN
This study addresses a critical gap in concrete strength prediction by conducting a comparative analysis of three deep learning algorithms: convolutional neural networks (CNNs), gated recurrent units (GRUs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Unlike previous studies that employed various machine learning algorithms on diverse concrete types, our study focuses on mixed-design concrete and fine-tuned deep learning algorithms. The objective is to identify the optimal deep learning (DL) algorithm for predicting concrete uniaxial compressive strength, a crucial parameter in construction and structural engineering. The dataset comprises experimental records for mixed-design concrete, and models were developed and optimized for predictive accuracy. The results show that the CNN model consistently outperformed GRU and LSTM. Hyperparameter tuning and regularization techniques further improved model performance. This research offers practical solutions for material property prediction in the construction industry, potentially reducing resource burdens and enhancing efficiency and construction quality.
