Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Estimating Uniaxial Compressive Strength of Pyroclastic Rocks Using Soft Computing Techniques(Shahrood Univ Technology, 2024) Koken, EkinIn 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 7A Comparative Study to Estimate the Mode I Fracture Toughness of Rocks Using Several Soft Computing Techniques(Murat Yakar, 2023-10-05) Köken, E.; Kadakci Koca, Tümay; Koca, Tümay KadakciFracture toughness is an important phenomenon to reveal the actual strength of fractured rock materials. It is, therefore, crucial to use the fracture toughness models principally for simulating the performance of fractured rock medium. In this study, the mode-I fracture toughness (KIC) was investigated using several soft computing techniques. For this purpose, an extensive literature survey was carried out to obtain a comprehensive database that includes simple and widely used mechanical rock parameters such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and Brazilian tensile strength (BTS). Several soft computing techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), gene expression programming (GEP), and multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) were attempted to reveal the availability of these methods to estimate the KIC. Among these techniques, it was determined that ANN presents the best prediction capability. The correlation of determination value (R2) for the proposed ANN model is 0.90, showing its relative success. In this manner, the present study can be declared a case study, indicating the applicability of several soft computing techniques for the evaluation of KIC. However, the number of samples for different rock types should be increased to improve the established predictive models in future studies. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
