Abstract

This paper is an extension of the work published in year 2010 in which compressive strength of plain concrete confined with Ferrocement was estimated using mathematical models and compared with 55 experimental results. In this paper, predictive model of compressive strength for plain concrete confined with Ferrocement has been developed by using MATLAB Artificial Neural Network (ANN) simulation. Out of 55, 19 experimental results are selected for training of multilayer feed forward neural network. Comparative analysis of the results showed that compressive strength estimated by ANN predictive model are very close to the experimental results than existing theoretical models.
