چکیده
In this paper, the effect of super plasticizer amount, water/cement ratio, the cement, silica fume and steel micro fiber content is studied on the ultimate compressive strength of new generation of Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHSC).Known as Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) and also have used two non-linear functions; Genetic Programming (GP) and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), which are two methods in soft computing family. In this kind of concrete, the strength can reach to 200-800 (MPa) depending on the curing type and the manufacturing process. The emphasis is on the RPC which the strength ranges of 200-350 (MPa). Testing more than 28 different mix proportions and the result shows that GMDH is much exacter than the other methods. Finally sensitivity analysis has been showed the shares of each used parameters in the best model.

Prediction of concrete mix ratios using modified regression theory
The strength of concrete is a function of the proportions of the constituent materials, namely, cement, water, fine and coarse aggregates. The conventional methods used to determine the mix proportions that will yield the desired strength, are laborious, time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a mathematical method based on modified regression theory is formulated for the prediction of con...

Cementitious matrices are the fragile materials that possess a low tensile strength. The addition of fibers randomly distributed in these matrices improves their resistance to cracking, substantially. However, the incorporation of fibers into a plain concrete disrupts the granular skeleton and quickly causes problems of mixing as a result of the loss of mixture workability that will be translat...
