ABSTRACT
This paper presents artificial neural network (ANN) based model to
predict the compressive strength of concrete containing Industrial Byproducts
at the age of 28, 56, 90 and 120 days. A total of 71 specimens were casted with
twelve different concrete mix proportions. The experimental results are
training data to construct the artificial neural network model. The data used
in the multilayer feed forward neural network models are arranged in a
format of ten input parameters that cover the age of specimen, cement, Fly
ash, Silica fume, Metakaolin, bottom ash, sand, Coarse aggregate, water and
Superplasticizer. According to these parameter in the neural network models
are predicted the compressive strength values of concrete containing
Industrial Byproducts. This study leads to the conclusion that the artificial
neural network (ANN) performed well to predict the compressive strength of
high performance concrete for various curing period.
