Prediction of compressive strength of high performance concrete based on GA-BP neural network
Compressive strength is a key indicator for evaluating the performance of high performance concrete(HPC).In order to accurately predict its compressive strength,a new GA-BP-GRA model was developed by combining BP neural network with genetic algorithm(GA),using 181 sets of data for model training,and con-ducting sensitivity assessment through grey relational analysis(GRA).The study shows that the neural network can predict the compressive strength of HPC quickly and accurately;compared with a single neural network model,the re-optimized new model has higher accuracy in predicting compressive strength and smaller disper-sion in the prediction results;GRA can effectively analyze the sensitivity of the main components of HPC.The proposed GA-BP-GRA model can rapidly and accurately predict the compressive strength of concrete,thereby saving test time and reducing design costs.
