Usability of fuzzy logic modeling for prediction of fresh properties of self-compacting concrete

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the usability of fuzzy logic modelling for prediction of fresh properties of self-compacting concrete. In the modelling process, the percentage of fly ash and the percentage of granulated blast furnace slag, as replacement of cement, the percentage of micronized calcite, as replacement of total aggregate, were used as inputs. The slump flow diameter and time and also the V-funnel time were used as outputs. Results show that fuzzy logic modelling may be a useful approach to predict fresh properties of self-compacting concrete, containing fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag and micronized calcite.
