Fibre-reinforced polymer materials (FRP) are increasingly used to reinforce structural elements. Due to this, it is possible to increase the load-bearing capacity of polymer, wooden, concrete, and metal structures. In this article, the authors collected all the crucial aspects that influence the behaviour of concrete elements reinforced with FRP.

A widespread database comprising 216 experimental records was constructed from available research. The database includes depth of wear as a response parameter and nine different explanatory variables, i.

SCC incorporating waste material has been used in learning approaches. Artificial neural network (ANN) support vector machine (SVM) and gene expression programming (GEP) consisting of 300 datasets have been utilized in the model to foresee the mechanical property of SCC.
