Abstract
Based on big data technology, according to the nonlinear relationship between mix proportion and performance of concrete with multi cementitious materials, the mix proportion optimization method of concrete with multi cementitious materials is proposed. Firstly, 1443 sets of mixed samples were collected for correlation analysis, and the prediction abilities of linear regression, BP artificial neural network and support vector machine (SVM) were compared. The prediction model of concrete strength and workability based on support vector machine was selected. Secondly, the nonlinear optimization model of concrete mix proportion is established by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). Finally, a series of concrete mix proportions are designed and tested to verify the effectiveness of the method. Furthermore, the concrete quality and cost control system (Compos) is developed to facilitate the application of this method.
