Prediction of properties of recycled aggregate concrete

Prediction of properties of recycled aggregate concreteUse of recycled materials as replacement for natural aggregate in concrete is important considering the environmentally beneficial aspect of its re-use.Relations between concrete components and concrete properties cannot be presented based on mathematical formulas only.Consequently, artificial neural networks and regression techniques were applied to analyse experimental results obtained according to previous experimental design.It was established that both techniques enable highly reliable modelling of concrete properties based on its components.
