Predicting compressive strength of different geopolymers by artificial neural networks
Source abstract
Abstract
In the present study, six different models based on artificial neural networks have been developed to predict the compressive strength of different types of geopolymers. The differences between the models were in the number of neurons in hidden layers and in the method of finalizing the models. Seven independent input parameters that cover the curing time, Ca(OH)2 content, the amount of superplasticizer, NaOH concentration, mold type, geopolymer type and H2O/Na2O molar ratio were considered. For each set of these input variables, the compressive strength of geopolymers was obtained. A total number of 399 input-target pairs were collected from the literature, randomly divided into 279, 60 and 60 data and were trained, validated and tested, respectively. The best performance model was obtained through a network with two hidden layers and absolute fraction of variance of 0.9916, the absolute percentage error of 2.2102 and the root mean square error of 1.4867 in training phase. Additionally, the entire trained, validated and tested network showed a strong potential for predicting the compressive strength of geopolymers with a reasonable performance in the considered range.
