Predicting the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete using Elman artificial neural network with two different sets of input parameters

In recent years, artificial neural networks converted from a theoretical approach to the widely-used technology with successful applications to different problems. In fact, artificial neural networks are a powerful tool that give appropriate solutions to problems which are difficult to solve through...

description In recent years, artificial neural networks converted from a theoretical approach to the widely-used technology with successful applications to different problems. In fact, artificial neural networks are a powerful tool that give appropriate solutions to problems which are difficult to solve through conventional techniques.

The purpose of the current study is a performance evaluation of the Elman artificial neural networks with various input parameters in order to predict the compressive strength of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). Therefore, once, 8 effective parameters and next, in order to simulate a real experimental conditions, 140 parameters were entered as inputs in the Elman neural networks.
