Summary
The purpose of this paper is to present an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the chloride penetration of sustainable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixes. The ability of concrete to resist chloride penetration is typically measured using a rapid chloride penetration (RCP) test. ANN models were developed by controlling the critical parameters affecting chloride penetration to predict the results of the RCP test. The ANN models were developed using various parameters including ratio of water-to-binder (W/B), course aggregate, fine aggregate, fly ash, and silica fume. Data used to train the ANN were obtained from the literature and validated using test data from experiments conducted at Abu Dhabi University.
