Concrete Workability: an Investigation on Temperature Effects Using Artificial Neural Networks

Publisher Marketing: This book is trying to help expand the knowledge of fresh concrete workability. Concrete workability depends on lots of parameters and varies significantly with conditional alteration. The temperature is of great importance determining the workability. This book presents theoretical information and experimental discussions investigating the influence of fresh concrete temperature and ingredients on the workability. Programming and different statistical programs are applied to include the most appropriate results. Artificial neural network prediction of workability is investigated in two situations; with and without concrete temperature. The most relevant cutting edge studies on this issue are cited and discussed to support the readers for the future studies. Ce livre essaie de faire progresser la connaissance de la fluidite du beton frais. La fluidite du beton depend de beaucoup de parametres et varie de maniere significative avec le changement des conditions (temperature, humidite, souffle du vent, lumiere du soleil). La temperature a beaucoup d'importances pour determiner la fluidite. Ce livre presente des informations theoriques et des discussions experimentales pour examiner l'influence de la temperature du beton frais et les ingredients sur la fluidite. La programmation et les differents programmes statistiques ont ete appliques afin d'obtenir les resultats les plus appropries. La prediction de fluidite de RNA (le reseau de neurones artificiels) a ete etudie dans deux situations: avec et sans temperature du beton frais. Les plus pertinentes recherches, concernant ce sujet, ont ete faites pour appuyer les lecteurs aux etudes futures."
