Abstract:

In order to predict the 28d compressive strength and permeability coefficient of porous concrete, the water-cement ratio, cementitious material dosage, bone-cement ratio and measured porosity were determined as model input parameters through correlation analysis. Furthermore, the prediction models for the two indicators are established based on the constructed dataset using artificial neural networks and regression analysis, respectively. The results showed that the statistical regression models had significant prediction errors, lacked sensitivity to multivariate responses, and their goodness-of-fit R2 were all below 0.681. The artificial neural network model is more suitable for solving complex and multivariate performance prediction problems. The neural network compressive strength prediction model optimized by the genetic algorithm has a goodness-of-fit R2 of more than 0.9, which reflects the accuracy and stability of the prediction model. The research results could provide reference and guidance for the optimal design of the mix ratio and performance regulation of porous concrete.

Key words: highway and railway engineering, porous concrete, compressive strength, permeable coefficient, neural network, regression analysis
