Operational strategies to the mechanical performance assessment of concrete with the neural network and artificial intelligence by Hadi Faghihmaleki, Mehdi Ghadiri

“…In this research, the data used were first normalized and then the desired data were trained using the Lorenberg Marquardt algorithm.Findings: The evaluation criteria of artificial neural network models were obtained using evaluation and error and the results showed that the use of 10 hidden layers had the highest correlation coefficient and the lowest error. The structure of this network was multi-layered perceptron.Originality/Value: The results showed that for the constructed neural network, the value of correlation coefficient, mean root, error square and mean absolute error of the artificial neural network were 0.94 and 1.9, respectively.…”
