Concrete Workability

About the Book

This book is trying to help expand the knowledge of fresh concrete workability. Concrete workability depends on lots of parameters and varies significantly with conditional alteration. The temperature is of great importance determining the workability. This book presents theoretical information and experimental discussions investigating the influence of fresh concrete temperature and ingredients on the workability. Programming and different statistical programs are applied to include the most appropriate results. Artificial neural network prediction of workability is investigated in two situations; with and without concrete temperature. The most relevant cutting edge studies on this issue are cited and discussed to support the readers for the future studies.

Ce livre essaie de faire progresser la connaissance de la fluidité du béton frais. La fluidité du béton dépend de beaucoup de paramètres et varie de manière significative avec le changement des conditions (température, humidité, souffle du vent, lumière du soleil). La température a beaucoup d'importances pour déterminer la fluidité. Ce livre présente des informations théoriques et des discussions expérimentales pour examiner l'influence de la température du béton frais et les ingrédients sur la fluidité. La programmation et les différents programmes statistiques ont été appliqués afin d'obtenir les résultats les plus appropriés. La prédiction de fluidité de RNA (le réseau de neurones artificiels) a été étudié dans deux situations: avec et sans température du béton frais. Les plus pertinentes recherches, concernant ce sujet, ont été faites pour appuyer les lecteurs aux études futures.
