Estimating of Compressive Strength of Concrete with Artificial Neural Network According to Concrete Mixture Ratio and Age
Journal Title: International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications in Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Compressive strength of concrete is one of the most important elements for an existing building and a new structure to be built. While obtaining the desired compressive strength of concrete with an appropriate mix and curing conditions for a new structure, with non-destructive testing methods for an existing structure or by taking core samples the concrete compressive strength are determined. One of the most important factors that affects the concrete compressive strength is age of concrete. In this study, it is attempted to estimate compressive strength, modelling Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and using different mixture ratios and compressive strength of concrete samples at different ages. In accordance with obtained data’s in the estimation of concrete compressive strength, ANN could be used safely.

Particle Swarm Optimization Based Approach for Location Area Planning in Cellular Networks
Location area planning problem plays an important role in cellular networks because of the trade-off caused by paging and registration signalling (i.e., location update). Compromising between the location update and the...
A Note on Entropy Subsethood Relationship
We comment on subsethood measure defined by Kosko and Young and give some new aspects of these measures. Finally we would like to discard the entropy subsethood relationship established by the authirs. We present some pr...
