The tensile behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) is important to the design of HFRC and HFRC structure.This study used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to describe the tensile behavior of HFRC.This ANN model can describe well the tensile stress-strain curve of HFRC with the consideration of 23 features of HFRC.In the model,three methods to process output features (no-processed,mid-processed,and processed) are discussed and the mid-processed method is recommended to achieve a better reproduction of the experimental data.This means the strain should be normalized while the stress doesn't need normalization.To prepare the database of the model,both many direct tensile test results and the relevant literature data are collected.Moreover,a traditional equation-based model is also established and compared with the ANN model.The results show that the ANN model has a better prediction than the equation-based model in terms of the tensile stress-strain curve,tensile strength,and strain corresponding to tensile strength of HFRC.Finally,the sensitivity analysis of the ANN model is also performed to analyze the contribution of each input feature to the tensile strength and strain corresponding to tensile strength.The mechanical properties of plain concrete make the main contribution to the tensile strength and strain corresponding to tensile strength,while steel fibers tend to make more contributions to these two items than PVA fibers.
