Abstract:
This paper presents the methodology of a new technique of the neural identification of the compression strength of concrete on the basis of nondestructive tests. The neural training and testing processes were carried out on a data set created on the basis of nondestructive tests. The data set covers a concrete compression strength range from 24 to 105 MPa (165.5 to 724.0 ksi) after 28 days of curing. The methodology of the neural identification of the compression strength of concrete is presented. The obtained results and the results of the practical verification are presented.
