A comparative study of ANN and ANFIS models for the prediction of cement-based mortar materials compressive strength

Despite the extensive use of mortars materials in constructions over the last decades, there is not yet a reliable and robust method, available in the literature, which can estimate its strength based on its mix parameters. This limitation is due to the highly nonlinear relation between the mortar’s compressive strength and the mixed components. In this paper, the application of artificial intelligence techniques toward the prediction of the...
