In each pair of the families, the fibers are made of the same material and are laid symmetrically with respect to the directions of principal stresses in the composite. The constituents of the reinforced composite are isotropic and have different tensile–compressive yield strengths. The mechanical behavior of composition constituents was described by the associated flow rule of an ideal rigid-plastic body with piecewise quadratic and piecewise linear yield curves in the space of principal stresses.

The central composite design, coupled with the response surface methodology, was used to determine the optimized values for compressive strength, water absorption, void index, and specific gravity. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the geopolymeric mortar specimens.

An advantage of this approach is its flexibility in obtaining model parameters, which often have no physical interpretation. Moreover, the joint application of ANNs to estimate the model parameters and FE simulations to obtain the global mechanical behavior of SFRC is an innovation. An experimental database was constructed from the tests available in the literature and provided the ANN input data: the water-cement ratio, the fiber volume fraction, and the diameter and length of steel fibers. The outputs were Young’s modulus, the tensile strength, and the fracture energy of the composite. Three different networks were trained for each output dataset. The ANN configuration consisted of an input layer with four nodes and an output layer with one node. Blind tests with five experimental test sets checked the solution accuracy, presenting relative errors lower than 10%.
