An Integrated Prediction Framework for Engineered Cementitious Composite: EDFrame.

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is a high-performance strain-hardening material widely used in durable infrastructure, yet its complex multi-parameter interactions make accurate mixture design and performance prediction challenging. This study aims to establish an EDFrame, which is an integrated prediction framework for engineered cementitious composite (ECC). First, two original datasets of ECC's tensile stress and strain are collected from the comprehensive and authoritative literature, comprising 18 features and 10 categories of single or hybrid fibers. Data augmentation is then performed using a constraints-modified Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Network (Tuned-CTGAN), with two traditional methods for comparison. A One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network with a residual module (1D-Residual CNN) is developed to predict tensile stress and strain, and its performance was compared against five popular machine learning models. The interpretability of the proposed model has been achieved through Partial Dependence Plot (PDP) and Kernel SHAP analyses. The results demonstrate that Tuned-CTGAN effectively generates reliable synthetic data, significantly improving the
