    Estimating Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Pyroclastic Rocks Using Soft Computing Techniques
    (Shahrood Univ Technology, 2024) Koken, Ekin
    In this study, several soft computing analyses are performed to build some predictive models to estimate the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of the pyroclastic rocks from central Anatolia, Turkey. For this purpose, a series of laboratory studies are conducted to reveal physico-mechanical rock properties such as dry density (rho d), effective porosity (ne), pulse wave velocity (Vp), and UCS. In soft computing analyses, rho d, ne, and Vp are adopted as the input parameters since they are practical and cost-effective non-destructive rock properties. As a result of the soft computing analyses based on the classification and regression trees (CART), multiple adaptive regression spline (MARS), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural networks (ANN), and gene expression programming (GEP), five robust predictive models are proposed in this study. The performance of the proposed predictive models is evaluated by some statistical indicators, and it is found that the correlation of determination (R2) value for the models varies between 0.82 - 0.88. Based on these statistical indicators, the proposed predictive models can be reliably used to estimate the UCS of the pyroclastic rocks.

    Development of Comprehensive Predictive Models for Evaluating Böhme Abrasion Value (BAV) of Dimension Stones Using Non-Destructive Testing Methods
    (MDPI, 2024-12-25) Koken, Ekin
    Due to the global demand for dimension stones, fast and reliable evaluation tools are essential for assessing the quality of dimension stones. For this reason, this study aims to develop comprehensive tools for estimating the abrasion resistance of various dimension stones from Turkey. Non-destructive rock properties, including dry density (rho d), water absorption by weight (wa), and pulse wave velocity (Vp), were determined to build a comprehensive database for soft computing analyses. Three predictive models were established using multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), M5P, and artificial neural networks (ANN) methodologies. The performance of the models was assessed through scatter plots and statistical indicators, showing that the ANN-based model outperforms those based on M5P and MARS. The applicability of the models was further validated with independent data from the existing literature, confirming that all models are suitable for estimating varying B & ouml;hme abrasion values (BAVs). A MATLAB-based software tool, called B & ouml;hme abrasion calculator (v1.00), was also developed, allowing users to estimate BAV values by inputting adopted non-destructive rock properties. This tool is available upon request, supporting the dimension stone industry and fostering future research in this field.
