This was achieved by an experimental program based on the application of orthogonal arrays to create a signal-to-noise ratio analysis that investigates the effects of 10 mixing parameters on 6 fresh and mechanical properties.The data is used to train and verify an artificial neural network that predicts the resultant properties of any given concrete mix within its operational parameters UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
