Optimizing the Concrete Materials by Taguchi Optimization Method

Abstract

This manuscript presents the outcome of an experimental investigation conceded out to optimize the mix proportions of the concrete by the Taguchi method of parameter design. The concrete mix design is done by the L9 orthogonal array that is 34. When a new material is used in the concrete all the mix variables are taken into account so that it may cost so much, it means more need for money, material, personnel and time. In order to reduce the number of mix combination in concrete, the Taguchi method is used. In this project the cement sand and aggregate are partially replaced by cement as fly ash, river sand as M-sand and the compression values are taken and the value is compared with the conventional concrete special concrete compression value is compared with the conventional concrete and S/N value is taken from the compression value and the comparison of the values are done. In order to attain good strength and to avoid cracks, sisal fiber is added in the concrete with a percentage of (1, 1.5, and 2).
