Application of Neural Networks for Estimation of Concrete Strength [PDF]
The uniaxial compressive strength of concrete is the most widely used criterion in producing concrete. Although testing of the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete specimens is done routinely, it is performed on the 28th day after concrete placement.
