Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete with Decision

Trees

Saha Dauji*

Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India

Abstract In the past few researchers predicted the compressive strength of concrete from its

ingredients employing data driven technique like Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and

Decision Tree (DT). For Indian concrete records, only one study was available which had

employed ANN for prediction. Evaluation of different performance metrics indicated that

there was scope of improvement in the prediction performance. In this paper experimental

data from the literature was utilized for development of prediction models with the data-

driven technique: Decision Tree (DT). While it is difficult to appreciate the underlying

rationale for the predictions by ANN, predictions by DT are rule based which can be easily

listed and comprehended by users. Decision tree gave better overall performance compared

to ANN models reported in the literature as was ascertained by higher correlation, lesser

root mean square error and mean absolute error. In the end, interpretation of the decision

rules had been attempted.

Keywords: compressive strength, concrete, decision tree, prediction

BACKGROUND

Concrete is a mixture of aggregates both

coarse and fine which is held together in

cement and water paste. Other ingredients

can include silica flume, fly ash, super-

plasticizers or additives for enhanced

properties in case of high performance

concrete (HPC). Owing to the progressive

hydration of the cement and other binders

the strength of concrete increases with age.

The compressive strength of concrete at

any particular time is influenced by many

factors including mix proportions, curing

conditions and methods of mixing,

transporting, placing and testing the

concrete. The prediction of concrete

strength assumes importance in the

modernized concrete construction and

engineering. It is useful for estimating the

time for concrete form removal, re-shoring

for slab, project scheduling and quality

control.[1]

For prediction of the strength of concrete

at various ages, the traditional approaches

are based on maturity concept where the

time and the temperature above datum

temperature are primarily considered. Such

models are available in form of equations

with certain number of parameters, and

these would have been developed on

limited data. Thus, any variation in the

ingredients could result in erroneous

predictions and would call for either new

value of parameters or even new form of

equation.

Data driven tools like Artificial Neural

Network (ANN) and Decision Tree (DT)

does not need a-priori definition of the

relationship between the different

Abstract

Improving the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures synonymous with flexible pavement

has been a major concern in highway engineering. However, design of flexible pavement

begins with proper material characterization to ensure that designs are appropriate. It is also

pertinent to say that sometimes if not most times the properties of the individual materials

that make up the pavement structure falls short of desired expectations. This has led to

exploring techniques that will help improve the properties of the pavement structure. The

present research therefore focused on re-characterizing the strength properties and in

particular stability and density of asphalt concrete mixtures that simulate flexible pavements

by the inclusion of candle wax as a modifying agent. The research was carried out for three

categories of traffic – light, medium and heavy respectively and modifications were made by

adding 5–25% of the candle wax at optimum content. The results obtained revealed the

following; percent increase in stability – 36% for light traffic, 44.4% for medium traffic and

17.3% for heavy traffic at a threshold candle wax content of 15%. Similarly, results for

density increase were – 14.6% for light traffic, 15.5% for medium traffic and 15.7% for

heavy traffic at a threshold candle wax content of 15%.

Keywords: asphalt concrete and candle wax, density, re-characterization, stability.

INTRODUCTION In highway engineering and in particular

pavement design, the term characterization

of pavement materials refers to the

evaluation of the properties of the

individual materials that make up the

pavement.

Also it includes the evaluating the

properties of the pavement as a

conglomerate such that its performance

during use is sufficient to sustain the

various loading conditions (traffic,

thermal, moisture, wind etc) during the

design period without deterioration,

deformation or failure.

The importance of characterization of

pavement materials is that it helps the

engineer to know whether or not a material

will be suitable to achieve desired results

in terms of performance during the design

period. The philosophy behind re-

characterization of pavement materials

stems from the fact that most times the

individual materials that make up a

pavement structure falls short of required

standards and stipulations. In effect when

designs are carried out such as mix design

and structural designs the pavement

performance is likely to fall short of

desired expectations. This has led to

deliberate efforts to either improve the

A Review on Use of Recycled Aggregates

Tej Prakash Kumawat*, Avanish Kumar Mishra Department of Civil Engineering, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur, India

Abstract

Conservation of natural resources and preservation of environment is the essence of any

modern development. Recycled Aggregates are made from material which is usually

recovered from demolition projects then crushed, screened and washed to produce the

required grading. The recycled coarse aggregates obtained by crushed concrete were used

for concrete production. Generally recycled aggregates are cheaper than quarried

aggregates although this does not make them any less suitable. Recycled aggregates are the

materials for the future. These are eco-friendly materials and it also reduces the cost of

making concrete.

Keywords: concrete, natural resources, recycled aggregates

INTRODUCTION

Conservation of natural resources and

preservation of environment is the essence

of any modern development. Recycled

Aggregates are made from material which

is usually recovered from demolition

projects then crushed, screened and

concrete production. Generally recycled

aggregates are cheaper than quarried

aggregates although this does not make

aggregates are the materials for the future.

Urbanization growth rate in India is very

high due to industrialization. Growth rate

of India is reaching 9% of GDP. Rapid

infrastructure development requires a large

quantity of construction materials, land

requirements & the site. For large

construction, concrete is preferred as it has

longer life, low maintenance cost & better

performance. For achieving GDP rate,

smaller structures are demolished & new

towers are constructed. Protection of

environment is a basic factor which is

directly connected with the survival of the

human race. Parameters like

environmental consciousness, protection

of natural resources, sustainable

development, play an important role in

modern requirements of construction

works. Due to modernization, demolished

materials are dumped on land & not used

for any purpose. Such situations affect the

fertility of land. As per report of Hindu

online of March 2007, India generates

23.75 million tons demolition waste

annually. As per report of Central

Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Delhi, in

India, 48million tons solid waste is

produced out of which 14.5 million ton

waste is produced from the construction

waste sector, out of which only 3% waste

is used for embankment. Out of the total

construction demolition waste, 40% is of

concrete, 30% ceramics, 5% plastics, 10%

wood, 5% metal, & 10% other mixtures.

As reported by global insight, growth in

global construction sector predicts an

increase in construction spending of 4800

Tensile Strain Reduction in Asphalt Concrete Mixtures Through

Rubberization at the Asphalt Bound – Subgrade Layer Interface

Enwuso A. Igwe* Department of Civil Engineering, Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Nkpolu Oroworukwo,

Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria

Abstract

Tensile strains are major contributors in determining the fatigue life of asphalt concrete

pavement because they are responsible for fatigue cracking. Therefore, knowledge of strains

and their role is of vital importance to the Highway Engineer. However, the focus of the

present study was to investigate measures by which these damage contributing factor –

“tensile strain” could be reduced at the interface of the asphalt concrete – subgrade layer.

The methodology involved introducing rubber latex at the optimum asphalt content of the

asphalt concrete mixtures in order to alter the properties of the concrete. Results revealed

that the introduction of rubber latex at varying amounts of 0-3% into the asphalt concrete

mixtures reduced the tensile strains from 9.74 × 104

–4.27 × 104

at loading frequency of 1

Hz, 10.13 × 104

–4.52 × 104

at loading frequency of 5 Hz and 10.87 × 104

–5.46 × 104

at

loading frequency of 10 Hz, respectively. In addition, results further revealed that as tensile

strain levels reduced the fatigue life of the asphalt concrete in terms of no. of load cycles to

failure increased. This was true for all categories of loading frequencies considered.

Keywords: asphalt concrete, reduction, rubberization, tensile strain

INTRODUCTION

Asphalt concrete pavement (i.e., flexible

pavements), one of the largest

infrastructure components in some parts of

the developed nations like the United

States, is a complex system that involves

multiple layers of different materials,

various combinations of irregular traffic

loading, and varying environmental

conditions such as temperature, moisture

and oxidation rates.[1]

Therefore, a realistic

prediction of the long-term service life of

asphalt pavements is one of the most

challenging tasks for pavement engineers

in Highway Engineering. It is general

knowledge among pavement engineers

that the performance of asphalt concrete

pavements (i.e. flexible pavement) is

closely related to the performance of

asphalt concrete. Thus, proper evaluation

of the performance and behavior of asphalt

concrete is of great importance; therefore

performance models of asphalt concrete

provides the links among various

processes involved in asphalt mix design,

pavement structure design, construction,

and rehabilitation. Also asphalt mixture is

a composite material of graded aggregates

bound with a mastic mortar. The physical

properties and performance of HMA is

governed by the properties of the

aggregate (e.g., shape, surface texture,

gradation, skeletal structure, modulus,

etc.); properties of the asphalt binder (e.g.,

grade, complex modulus, relaxation

characteristics, cohesion, etc.), and asphalt

aggregate interaction (e.g., adhesion,

absorption, physiochemical interactions,
