Two collected datasets containing the SST results for FRP laminates with EB and EBG technology, reported by Ref. [37] and Ref. [38], are used as examples for comparing the selected ML approaches. Dataset 1 includes a total of 122 IBS values (referred to as cases) for FRPs externally bonded on concrete, which were reported by Wu et al. [37]. As shown in Fig. 1(a), the features (referred to as variables) of Dataset 1 include the elastic modulus (Ef), tensile strength (ff), thickness (tf) and
