Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting compressive strength of lightweight foamed concrete using extreme learning machine model
Zaher Mundher Yaseen,Ravinesh C. Deo,Ameer A. Hilal,Abbas M. Abd,Laura Cornejo Bueno,Sancho Salcedo-Sanz,Moncef L. Nehdi +6 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the proposed ELM model achieved an adequate level of prediction accuracy, improving MARS, M5 Tree and SVR models, and could be employed as a reliable and accurate data intelligent approach for predicting the compressive strength of foamed concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI
On void structure and strength of foamed concrete made without/with additives
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different additives on the strength foamed concrete by characterising air-void size and shape parameters and identifying the influence of these parameters and changes to cement paste microstructure on strength was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
On entrained pore size distribution of foamed concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of the bubble size distribution of foam (before adding to the mixture) and the pore size distribution distribution of the foamed concrete mixes (after hardening) is discussed in order to understand the formation of voids after hardening.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Additives to Enhance Properties of Pre-Formed Foamed Concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of an enhancement of pre-formed foamed concrete, 1300-1900 kg/m3, by utilising two types of additives, silica fume and fly ash, to partially replace Portland cement and fine sand.
Book ChapterDOI
Microstructure of Concrete
TL;DR: The microstructure of high performance concrete (HPC) is more homogenous than that of normal concrete (NC) due to the physical and chemical contribution of the additives (silica fume and fly ash) as well as it is less porous due to reduced w/c ratio with the addition of a superplasticizer.
