ANN models for nano silica/ silica fume concrete strength prediction [PDF]
ABSTRACTArtificial Neural Network (ANN) modelswere built to expect the compression strength of various types of concrete incorporatingnano silica (NS) and silica fume (SF) as partial cement replacement. The mixtures data used in the networks model,which was collected from previous researchers, studied the effect of NS and SF on concrete.
