Abstract
An artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the compressive strength of concrete is established in this study. The Back Propagation (BP) network with one hidden layer is chosen as the structure of the ANN. The database of real concrete mix proportioning listed in earlier research by another author is used for training and testing the ANN. The proper number of neurons in the hidden layer is determined by checking the features of over-fitting while the synaptic weights and the thresholds are finalized by checking the features of over-training. After that, we use experimental data from other papers to verify and validate our ANN model. The final result of the synaptic weights and the thresholds in the ANN are all listed. Therefore, with them, and using the formulae expressed in this article, anyone can predict the compressive strength of concrete according to the mix proportioning on his/her own.
