MACHINE LEARNING PREDICTION OF THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SILICEOUS FLY ASH ...IAEME Publication
Compressive strength (CS) is one of the most important mechanical qualities of cementitious composites in the building sector. The data from the experimental work were collected, and machine learning techniques were used to predict the compressive strength of concrete containing fly ash. Statistical models, such as linear and nonlinear regression widely used require laborious experimental work to develop, and can provide inaccurate results when the relationships between concrete properties and mixture composition and curing conditions are complex. This study focusses on the use of supervised machine learning algorithms to predict concrete compressive strength. For outcome prediction, the Random Forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and Artificial neural network (ANN), techniques were examined. The experimental variables from the literature included cement, fly ash, superplasticizer, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water, and days, which were taken as input to predict the output which was CS parameter. The study provides a critically review and comparison of different machine learning techniques used for forecasting the mechanical properties of concrete materials. Each machine learning model's applicability and performance are assessed, resulting in practical recommendations, knowledge gaps, and recommended future research.
Artificial neural network for concrete mix designMonjurul Shuvo
This document describes a study using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict concrete mix designs and compressive strengths. The study aims to construct ANN models to predict mix proportions for a target strength and to predict strength for given mix proportions. Data on 79 concrete mixes are used to train and test the ANN models. The results show the ANN can predict mix ratios with 99% accuracy and strengths with 98% accuracy, demonstrating ANN is an effective tool for concrete mix design that outperforms traditional methods. Parametric studies examine the effects of water-cement ratio, fines content, and mix ratios on strength. The document concludes ANN is a powerful tool that can be used in concrete mix design practice.

Common Insitu Tests
•Standard Penetration Test
•Cone Penetration Test
•Pressuremeter Test
•Dilatometer Test
•Vane Shear test
•Plate Load Test
Introduction
•Insitu tests are carried out to aid determination of design parameters for foundation design which provide mostly indirect measurements of the design parameters.
•Published correlations are used to transform the indirect measurements to design parameters.
•A statistical approach is also required to study both spatial distribution of a measured parameter on site as well as its variability with depth / ground strata.
•It is essential that the limitations of the insitu tests and the conditions and ground type they can test is considered so as to avoid misinterpretation of the data obtained.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
•One of the most basic forms of testing yet quite powerful in terms of its applicability for a wide range of soils.
• It can be applied in exploratory holes and repeated at any depth required, mostly once per metre or 1.5m depth tending to be less frequent if within same geological unit.
•Applicable for most soils such as; gravels, sands, silts and clays or mixed soils.
•The test method involves dropping a hammer of approximately 63.5kg onto a set of steel rods sunk into the exploratory hole from a standard drop height of 762mm.
•The first set of number of blows required for 150mm penetration of the tip of the test assembly is disregarded as the ‘seating blows’.
•The test is continued with measurement of two further sets of 150mm penetrations for which the number of blows are also measured. The total number of blows from these two latter sets of penetration (300mm) is called the SPT value (or simply N).
Cone Penetration Test (CPT)
•Two types of cones;
–Mechanical cone.
–Electric cone.
•This test is carried out on its own from ground surface by penetrating the cone with a telescopic set of rods using a trucked or crawler mounted machine.
•The rate of penetration of the cone is constant and typically 20mm per second. This can also be reduced to a value of 10mm per second.
•Nowadays Electric Cone is the industry standard
•With the Electric Cone two important measurements are carried out;
–Cone tip resistance, qc,
–Cone sleeve friction, fc or fs.
•The friction ratio is calculated as;
•Fr is commonly used to help classification of the ground using correlations.
•This test is especially useful for obtaining lateral earth pressure coefficient and shear modulus of soils.
•The test can be carried out in an exploratory hole as well as using a self-boring PMT rig.

This document discusses the earthquake analysis of a 4-storey reinforced concrete building located in seismic zone IV using both manual calculations and STAAD Pro software. Static and dynamic analysis methods are used to calculate the base shear. For the static analysis, the base shear from manual calculations is 99.93 kN while from STAAD it is 87.88 kN. For the dynamic analysis, the manual base shear is 80.93 kN and from STAAD it is 83.89 kN. The results show that static manual calculations provide a more conservative base shear value compared to the other methods. Recommendations are made to further analyze irregular structures and consider nonlinear behavior.
This document discusses the flexibility method for structural analysis. The flexibility method involves determining flexibility coefficients by applying unit loads corresponding to redundant forces and calculating the resulting displacements. These flexibility coefficients are then used to calculate the redundant forces needed to satisfy compatibility conditions. The flexibility matrices for different structural elements are developed. Joint displacements, member end actions, and support reactions can be determined by incorporating the flexibility coefficients into the basic computations. Examples are provided to illustrate the flexibility method for a continuous beam with one redundant and for determining various outputs like redundants, joint displacements, and reactions.
1) Dynamics is the study of how structures respond to dynamic or time-varying loads. Static loads do not change over time, while dynamic loads vary with time and can cause displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses in structures.
2) The key differences between static and dynamic loading are that dynamic loading produces inertia forces that cause accelerations, while static loading only produces displacements. These inertia forces contribute significantly to the internal elastic forces that a structure experiences under dynamic loading.
3) Common causes of dynamic effects in structures include initial conditions giving the structure an initial velocity, applied time-varying forces like wind or earthquakes, and support motions like ground shaking during an earthquake.
- Soil-structure interaction (SSI) describes how the response of soil influences the motion of a structure, and vice versa, rather than having independent displacements.
- The three critical aspects of SSI are: 1) Inertia effects on base shear and moment, 2) How base shear relates to foundation/soil displacement, 3) How moment relates to foundation/soil rotation.
- The degree of SSI influence depends on soil stiffness, structure properties like period and damping, and structure stiffness and mass. SSI is more important for flexible structures on soft soil.

The document discusses the design of slender columns. It defines a slender column as having a slenderness ratio (length to least lateral dimension) greater than 12. Slender columns experience appreciable lateral deflection even under axial loads alone. The design of slender columns can be done using three methods - the strength reduction coefficient method, additional moment method, or moment magnification method. The document outlines the step-by-step procedure for designing a slender column using the additional moment method, which involves determining the effective length, initial moments, additional moments, total moments accounting for a reduction coefficient, and redesigning the column for combined axial load and bending.
This document analyzes the seismic behavior of structures during pounding. Pounding occurs when adjacent structures collide during earthquakes due to insufficient separation distance and differences in their dynamic characteristics. Three cases were modeled: 1) Two equal buildings, 2) Buildings of different heights but equal floor levels, 3) Equal height buildings but different floor levels. Results showed pounding increases displacements and accelerations, and causes large inertial forces. Irregular positioning or small separation distances risk inaccurate seismic design by ignoring pounding effects. Proper separation is needed to allow free movement and accurate structural design.
This document discusses various topics related to seismic design, including:
- Seismicity and plate tectonics, which show that most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.
- Different types of earthquakes like intraplate and reservoir-induced seismicity. Reservoir-induced seismicity can occur due to rapid reservoir filling or fluctuations in water level.
- Effects of soil conditions like basin effects that can amplify seismic ground motions. Soft soils in large basins like Mexico City significantly amplified motions from a distant earthquake, contributing to extensive damage.
- Key geotechnical aspects impacting seismic design like liquefaction, plasticity index, and shear wave velocity and how they relate to soil behavior during earthquakes
The Pushover Analysis from basics - Rahul LeslieRahul Leslie
Pushover analysis has been in the academic-research arena for quite long. The papers published in this field usually deals mostly with proposed improvements to the approach, expecting the reader to know the basics of the topic... while the common structural design practitioner, not knowing the basics, is left out from participating in those discussions. Here I’m making an effort to bridge that gap by explaining the Pushover analysis, from basics, in its simplicity.

seismic analysis of structures presentationDrAhmedNabil2
This document discusses analyzing the seismic performance of symmetric and asymmetric buildings. It begins by introducing the importance of evaluating seismic performance of buildings and how irregularities in mass, stiffness, and strength distribution (asymmetry) can cause serious damage during earthquakes. The document then outlines various structural analysis methods that will be used in the study, including equivalent static analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear static pushover analysis, and nonlinear time history analysis. Finally, it proposes analyzing different plan configurations (rectangular, C, L, T, and I-shaped) of an 8-story building located in seismic zone 2 using the outlined analysis methods to compare the seismic behavior of symmetric versus asymmetric designs.
The document discusses effective stress in soils. It defines total stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress. Total stress is the load carried by the soil grains and water. Pore water pressure depends on depth and water flow conditions. Effective stress is the difference between total stress and pore water pressure, and represents the stress carried by the soil skeleton. Effective stress applies to saturated soils and influences properties like compressibility and consolidation. It is an imaginary parameter that cannot be directly measured but is important in soil mechanics analyses.
This document discusses structural health monitoring (SHM). It defines SHM as monitoring the health of engineering structures to detect damage. The key steps in SHM are data acquisition using sensors, feature extraction from the sensor data, and statistical modeling to detect damage. SHM can be used to enhance structural performance, monitor structures affected by external factors, and improve future designs. Vibration-based SHM techniques analyze changes in frequencies, mode shapes or responses over time. Model-based techniques use finite element models while data-based techniques use statistical models to identify damage from sensor data without physical models. Uncertainties remain in modeling, environmental effects, and non-unique solutions which are areas of ongoing research. Case studies demonstrate using SHM
This document discusses Castigliano's theorems for analyzing stresses and strains in structures. It explains that Castigliano's first theorem states that the partial derivative of a structure's strain energy with respect to an applied force equals the displacement at the point of application of that force. Castigliano's second theorem states that the partial derivative of strain energy with respect to a displacement equals the force that produces that displacement. The document provides mathematical expressions to calculate strain energy and uses these theorems to analyze beam deflections under applied loads.
The document summarizes a study evaluating three data compression algorithms created by Dr. Samuel Sterns. The study was led by Myuran Kanga and evaluated the algorithms on various waveforms to determine compression accuracy and efficiency. Algorithm 2 used quantization, algorithm 3 added prediction of quantized data, and algorithm 4 used adaptive arithmetic coding for further compression. Waveforms like sine, square and sawtooth waves as well as noise were compressed and decompressed, and the results were analyzed for differences between original and decompressed signals.

The project was undertaken to design M50 grade concrete using GGBS cement and POZZOLANA cement and comparing the fresh concrete and hard concrete properties with concrete designed using conventional cement.
The document discusses triaxial shear testing of soils. It begins by explaining that soils fail primarily in shear and defining shear strength. It then details the process of a triaxial shear test, including sample preparation and testing stages. The key types of triaxial tests - consolidated drained (CD), consolidated undrained (CU), and unconsolidated undrained (UU) - are explained. Specifically, the document focuses on CD testing, showing how volume change is monitored during shearing and how stress-strain behavior varies with soil density. It also demonstrates how shear strength parameters (c, φ) are determined from CD test results and how the parameters relate to effective stresses and long-term soil behavior analysis.
This document describes the vane shear test procedure used to determine the undrained shear strength of soft clays. Key details include:
- The test involves inserting vanes into an undisturbed clay specimen and rotating them at a uniform rate until failure to measure the undrained shear strength.
- Calculations are done to determine the shear strength from the torque measurement, using the vane diameter and height.
- The test can also measure soil sensitivity by remolding the soil after the initial test and measuring the reduction in strength.

The results showed a linear relationship at first, until buckling occurred, after which increased load did not increase elongation. Calculations determined the critical buckling load and stress on the column based on its material properties and dimensions. In conclusion, buckling tests are important to characterize materials' mechanical properties for engineering applications.

There are many parameters of concrete that
influence its strength gaining characteristics. This study is
an attempt to use the early compressive strength test result to
estimate compressive strength at different ages. Potential
utilization of the early day compressive strength result to
predict characteristic strength of normal weight concrete has
been investigated. A simple mathematical model capable of
predicting the compressive strength of concrete at any age is
proposed for both stone and local aggregate concrete. The
basic model consists of a rational polynomial equation having
only two coefficients. This study also proposes a simple reliable
relationship between the coefficient p (strength at infinite
time) with the strength values of concrete of a particular day.
This relation greatly simplifies the concrete strength
prediction model. The developed model is validated for
commonly used stone aggregate concrete and also for local
(brick) aggregate concrete. Data used in this study are collected
from some previous studies and recent experimental works.
The analysis carried with the model using different data
exhibit reliable prediction of concrete strength at different
ages (7, 14, 28 days etc.) with excellent efficiency.
This document discusses different modeling approaches for finite element analysis of masonry structures. It compares the springs modeling approach and expanded units modeling approach by applying them to numerically model and analyze the behavior of four experimental masonry walls under various static and pseudo-dynamic loading conditions. Both approaches are able to predict the load capacities of the walls with reasonable accuracy compared to experimental data, but the expanded units approach is found to be more versatile and accurate. The document also outlines future research directions around improving the accuracy and capabilities of the modeling approaches.

Probabilistic Design of Hollow Circular Composite Structure by using Finite E...IJERA Editor
This document summarizes a study that uses finite element analysis to analyze the bending stress of a hollow circular composite beam under static loading conditions while accounting for uncertainty in design variables. A probabilistic design system is used to simulate the effects of varying the beam's length, radius, material properties, ply angles, thickness, and applied load on the bending stress. The results identify that variation in load, radius, modulus, ply thickness, and angles have the most significant effect on bending stress. The analysis finds the bending stress can range from 104 to 392 MPa with a 90% probability of being below 250 MPa. Improving the robustness of the design may require addressing variables with the highest sensitivity on bending stress.
Assessing Uncertainty of Pushover Analysis to Geometric ModelingIDES Editor
Pushover Analysis a popular tool for seismic
performance evaluation of existing and new structures and is
nonlinear Static procedure where in monotonically increasing
loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable
to resist the further load .During the analysis, whatever the
strength of concrete and steel is adopted for analysis of
structure may not be the same when real structure is
constructed and the pushover analysis results are very sensitive
to material model adopted, geometric model adopted, location
of plastic hinges and in general to procedure followed by the
analyzer. In this paper attempt has been made to assess
uncertainty in pushover analysis results by considering user
defined hinges and frame modeled as bare frame and frame
with slab modeled as rigid diaphragm and results compared
with experimental observations. Uncertain parameters
considered includes the strength of concrete, strength of steel
and cover to the reinforcement which are randomly generated
and incorporated into the analysis. The results are then
compared with experimental observations.

1. The document presents a finite element analysis of buckling in stiffened plates. Stiffened plates are widely used in shipbuilding and offshore structures to increase strength and stability.
2. A finite element model was created in NISA software to analyze buckling in stiffened plates. Both discrete stiffener modeling and rigorous modeling techniques were used.
3. The results found that rigorous modeling, which models both the plate and stiffeners with shell elements, produced buckling loads that were 8-13% lower but were considered more accurate. Discrete stiffener modeling, which uses beam elements for stiffeners, can also provide adequate results with less computational requirements.
Predicting the strength of self compacting self curing concrete using artific...IAEME Publication
Artificial neural networks were used to predict the compressive strength of self-compacting self-curing concrete. Seventeen concrete mixes were tested experimentally to obtain compressive strength results at 28 days. The experimental data was used to train an ANN model with seven input parameters and one output of compressive strength. The optimal mix was determined to contain 2% super plasticizer, 0.5% viscosity modifying agent, and 0.5% poly-ethylene glycol. A beam was also cast from the optimal mix and tested, with the ANN results showing minor errors compared to the experimental data. The ANN is concluded to provide an efficient way to determine optimal mix proportions for strength and workability of self-compacting self
Three stress analysis methodologies were used to analyze stresses in a mild steel specimen with an eccentric hole under tension: theoretical analysis using equations, computational analysis using FEA software, and experimental analysis using strain gauges. Each method agreed the maximum stress occurred in the hole area, with the second highest in the net area and lowest in the gross area. Theoretical and experimental results differed by an average of 10%, theoretical and computational by 5.1%, and computational and experimental by 4.8%. Retesting revealed a bending moment induced by the testing machine, requiring averaging of results. Overall the different methodologies correlated well.

This study establishes correlations between destructive and non-destructive testing of concrete compressive strength. Concrete cubes were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days and tested destructively via compression and non-destructively using a rebound hammer. Regression analysis found strong linear correlations (R2 91.6-97.9%) between rebound number and compressive strength. Models were able to predict compressive strength to within 1.3-1.8% of actual values on average, indicating rebound hammer can be used to accurately estimate compressive strength non-destructively.
This document presents the results of a parametric study to optimize the design of post-tensioned concrete box-girder pedestrian bridges with main spans ranging from 30 to 60 meters. An optimization algorithm called SAMO2 was used to minimize the cost by varying 33 design variables related to geometry, materials, and construction. The optimal solutions showed that depth and number of prestressing strands correlated with main span length, while slab thicknesses generally took minimum allowed values. Increasing the main span by 1 meter on average increased total cost by 6.38 euros per square meter. Concrete strength varied between 35 to 55 MPa but tended to increase with longer spans.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.

3. Introduction
• Concrete has versatile use in the construction
practice.
• The compressive strength is one of the most
important and useful properties of concrete.
• The design strength of the concrete normally
represents its 28th day strength.
• 28 days is a considerable time to wait for the test
results of concrete strength, while it is mandatory to
represent the process of quality control.
4. Introduction (Contd..)
• For every mix one has to wait a long time for the
assurance of its quality.
• Hence, the need for an easy and suitable means for
estimating the strength at an early age of concrete is
being felt all the time.
5. Objective
• To develop a simple relation which has the potential
to predict the compressive strength of the concrete
from early days strength.
• To evaluate nature of concrete strength gain pattern
with time for a particular type of mix.
• To formulate a quick, handy & flexible computational
method to asses the nature of concrete strength gain
with time.
6. Previous Approaches
• Traditional empirical formula
• Linear Regression model
• Artificial neural network
• Genetic algorithm
• Support vector mechanism
• M5P Tree model
9. Proposed Approach ( cont. …)
• First step : to understand the strength gaining
pattern of the concrete with age
10. Proposed Mathematical Model
The Mathematical Model:
where, Stn = Strength of the concrete at nth day.(n = 1,2,3,…..); Dn = Number of
days; p and q are constants for each curve but different for different data sets
(curves). Though this equation (Eq. 1) is formed independently, it is similar to
the equation (Eq. 2) proposed by ACI committee ( ACI 209-71) for predicting
compressive strength at any time.
Here a and b are constants, = 28-day strength and t is time and this
equation (Eq. 2) can be recast to similar form of Equation 1.

11. Mathematical Model ( Cont. ...)
To utilize the above equation (Eq. 1), just value of two constants
(p and q) are to be determined.
It was observed that, , values of p can be expressed as the
function of q and (Stn) [which is a polynomial surface equation].
The equation of the correlation is given below:
p = a + b.q + c.Stn + d.q.Stn + e.Stn
2 (3)
Where, Stn= Strength of the concrete at nth day. (n = 1, 2, 3, ……)
and a, b, c, d and e are the coefficients.
12. Mathematical Model ( Cont. ...)
As we build up the correlation for 7th day test result of concrete [n=7],
the values of the coefficients were derived as, a = 10.23; b = -0.9075;
c = 0.3412; d = 0.1721; e = 0.0112 from regression analysis of the
available data for concrete with stone chips as course aggregate
Putting these values in Equation 3 the following equation was obtained:
p = 10.23 - 0.9075q + 0.3412St7 + 0.1721q.St7 + 0.0112St7
2 (4)
For 14th day strength results [n=14] the coefficients are, a = -4.527;
b = -1.041; c = 1.373; d = 0.1406; e = -0.0125. Putting these values into
Equation 3 the following equation was obtained:
p = -4.527- 1.041q + 1.373St14 + 0.1406q.St14 - 0.0125St14
2 (5)
18. Conclusion
• This paper represents a simple mathematical model
• In this study, the concrete strength gain characteristic
with age is modeled by a simple mathematical
equation (rational polynomial) and a polynomial
surface equation
• The proposed equations have the potential to predict
strength data for every age.
• This will help in making quick decision for accidental
poor concreting at site and reduce delay.
