This research presents a novel approach of artificial intelligence (AI) based gene expression programming (GEP) for predicting the lateral load carrying capacity of RC rectangular columns when subjected to earthquake loading. To achieve the desired research objective, an experimental database assembled by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) center consisting of 250 cyclic tested samples of RC rectangular columns was employed. Seven input variables of these column samples were utilized to develop the coveted analytical models against the established capacity outputs. The selection of these input variables was based on the linear regression and cosine amplitude method. Based on the GEP modelling results, two analytical models were proposed for computing the flexural and shear capacity of RC rectangular columns. The performance of both these models was evaluated based on the four key fitness indicators, i.e., coefficient of determination (R2), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and root relative squared error (RRSE). From the performance evaluation results of these models, R2, RMSE, MAE, and RRSE were found to be 0.96, 53.41, 38.12, and 0.20, respectively, for the flexural capacity model, and 0.95, 39.47, 28.77, and 0.22, respectively, for the shear capacity model. In addition to these fitness criteria, the performance of the proposed models was also assessed by making a comparison with the American design code of concrete structures ACI 318-19. The ACI model reported R2, RMSE, MAE, and RRSE to be 0.88, 101.86, 51.74, and 0.39, respectively, for flexural capacity, and 0.87, 238.74, 183.66, and 1.35, respectively, for shear capacity outputs. The comparison depicted a better performance and higher accuracy of the proposed models as compared to that of ACI 318-19.
