Abstract:

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 concrete strength. The model can prescribe all the mixes that will produce a desired strength of concrete. It can also predict the strength of concrete if the mix proportions are specified. The adequacy of the mathematical model is tested using statistical tools.

Propose of Mix Design Method for CO2 Reduction Concrete Using the Regression Analysis

As argued by ‘Declaration of Concrete Environment (2010)’ of Korea and ‘Declaration of Asian Concrete Environment (2011)’ of six Asian countries, concrete as a single material has lately shown extremely large impact on environmental issues such as climate change. Assessment of environmental impact from concrete material and production has considerable importance. Concrete is a major material us...

Prediction of the Compressive Strength of High Performance Concrete Mix using Tree Based Modeling

Concrete is the safest and sustainable construction material which is most widely used in the world as it provides superior fire resistance, gains strength over time and gives an extremely long service life. Its annual consumption is estimated between 21 and 31 billion tones. Designing a concrete mix involves the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relati...

Optimization of concrete mix proportioning

The aim of this paper is to carried out statistical analysis for optimization of various concrete mix proportions by using full factorial experimental technique. The variables such as 28 days cube compressive strength, water to cement ratio (w/c), coarse aggregate to total aggregate ratio (CA/TA) and total aggregate to cement ratio (TA/C) were the parameters to be used for optimization. Four w/...

Permeability of Concrete Mix Design

In the present investigation, study of water permeability of concrete was carried out..The strength of concrete is depend on its mix proportions. we used high strength concrete which have its compressive strength is above 50 MPa.in order to measure co-efficient of permeability as per IS:3085-1965,the cylinder with height to diameter ratio equal to one were cast and subjected to a constant press...

Ridge Regression for the Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete

In this paper, regression analysis method i.e., traditional method and ridge regression is applied on the dataset collected for the prediction of compressive strength of concrete. When regression analysis is applied and data set is increased or decreased, the regression coefficients have drastically changed their values like the negative coefficients changed to positive or vice versa. So, tradi...
