Study of the Workability of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) Using Experimental Methods and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) by Amar Mezidi, Mourad Serikma, Salem Merabti

“…However, its formulation requires careful calculation of its constituents. Three methods are considered: the first is an empirical method represented by an approach based on mortar optimization, a solution proposed by Japanese researchers who originally introduced the concept of self-compacting concrete; the second is a graphical method by Dreux-Gorisse used for ordinary concrete, which optimizes the composition of the aggregate skeleton by selecting fractions without additives and superplasticizers; and the third is a statistical method that we developed using an approach based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) built from a database from previous research projects. …”
